| - We were walking down the strip and decided we wanted something cool to drink... It was 107 degrees outside. I had been seeing guys walking around with plastic yards drinking out of them, and I thought it would be fun to get one on my first day in Vegas. We came upon the Rockhouse and they had a selection of various plastic vessels that could be filled with a frozen concoction. I asked if I could get it filled with beer instead and the bartender informed me that my only choice was frozen drinks or Bud Light... I'd rather drink water from the fountain at the Bellagio than Bud Light, so I opted for a pina colada.
I didn't get the yard because I didn't want that much of a frozen drink in me, and even though they tried to hard sell it as a deal because it was cheaper to refill, I still went with a 22oz plastic pilsner glass. They asked if I wanted an extra shot put into it, and as it was early in the evening, I passed. I kind of wished they had, because either I really was sweating out the alcohol or there was barely any in it. Based on taste, I'm leaning towards barely any alcohol in it. It still tasted good.
I'm also glad I didn't buy the large one, because we found out that we can't take these into other establishments, they don't let you take outside drinks in. At least with 22 oz, we could drink it as we walked and it didn't take us too long to finish.
We didn't actually go inside the club. At the time we were not in the mood for that kind of atmosphere. When we go back, we may give it a try.
