Vegas does it right.
A swanky lounge at the Cromwell with black and gold colors, Bound makes it easy to slip onto the barstool and start salivating.
The handsome barman handed me a cocktail book that holds the classics plus their own creations. Normally, I'd go with the house specialty, but I was confident he'd make my Vesper cocktail right.
He didn't have Lillet Blanc but substituted cocchi Americano instead. He sets down my ice cold drink and says, "two very strong Vespers. Cheers."
He wasn't kidding. Not the smoothest I've had, but definitely the strongest. (I mean, at $18 each, they should kick my butt)
Gotta love Vegas!
