Las Vegas Strip hot spot offering free cocktails
Some phrases are inherently splendid. Blank signed check. Ferragamo sample sale. Open bar.
And on the Las Vegas Strip, where fine cocktails now routinely command $25 or more, open bar has special resonance. Which makes it especially noteworthy that Juliet Cocktail Room in The Venetian is celebrating its first anniversary on Aug. 22 with an open bar from 7 to 10 p.m. (the party runs from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.)
Ryan Labbe, founder and CEO of 81/82 Group, and his team developed Juliet Cocktail Room, which succeeded The Dorsey, one of the founding bars of modern Vegas cocktail culture.
“We are incredibly proud of what we’ve created with Juliet Cocktail Room,” Labbe said. “This anniversary celebration is our way of thanking our patrons for their support and showcasing what makes Juliet truly special.”
That celebration features cocktails such as a Lusso Classico made with Belvedere 10 vodka, “dirty mix,” dry vermouth and a caviar olive; a Juliet & Chandon starring Moët & Chandon, Chambord and St. Germain Elderflower liqueur; a Velvet Mango built with Volcan blanco tequila and mango purée; and a Pepino y Pineapple with Volcan blanco and pineapple.
Along with the cocktails, beer, house red and white wine, and Moët Champagne (!) by the flute are being offered at the open bar. Performances from singer Mikalah Gordon beginning at 8 p.m., beats from DJ Shift beginning at 11 p.m., and photo opportunities with strolling rose bouquet models round out the conviviality.
Following extensive interest in the open bar party as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, first come first served reservations have now closed.
