| - We were wandering through the Bellagio and felt like grabbing a quick drink, so we stopped into the conveniently-located Baccarat Lounge (or Baccarat Bar, according to the Bellagio's webpage).
First off, I'll say the that the service in here is very, very slow. It took a very long time for a waitress to take our order and even longer for us to get our drinks.
They do have a number of interesting-looking (yet quite expensive) beverages on offer, and I decided to go with the Featured Cocktail, which was the Vineyards of Cagnes ("SKYY Infusions Moscato Grape, St-Germain Elderflower, White Cranberry Juice, Lemon Juice, Veuve Clicquot"). The waitress had no idea what I was talking about, so I assume this item had just been added to the menu.
Many, many minutes later our drinks arrived and I was told the bartender had never made one of these drinks before, so I braced myself for the worst. It was actually really good, though. The various items all worked well together and there was a mild sweetness there that was pretty irresistible. The two grapes at the bottom of the glass were a perfect finishing touch, too.
