| - It's not a trip to Las Vegas for the wife and me without a stop for cocktails at the Chandelier, specifically, level 1.5. We stopped in for a nightcap after the "O" show on a Sunday night. Whether it was because it was a Sunday night or it was still relatively early (around 9PM), we were able to grab a couple of seats at the bar, which is always preferable for us at Chandelier.
I had the Original Sin ($17) made with care by Daniel, a really talented and personable bartender, consisting of Woodford Reserve Bourbon, cinnamon whiskey, Williams Wolf Pecan Whiskey, and served with an 8-spice ice sphere. It was an excellent drink, which continually evolved both in taste and aromatics as the infused ice sphere melted. We stopped at one since I wanted to get in a little blackjack before calling it a night. While all of Chandelier's levels make solid drinks, Chandelier 1.5 has consistently pushed the envelope on truly original, yet deeply satisfying cocktails since the Cosmopolitan opened its doors. Chandelier is a must for anyone who appreciates a well-made, but thoroughly unique cocktail.
