  • The wife and I stopped for drinks at ALIBI on two separate visits to Las Vegas this year. As casino bars go, ALIBI blurred the line between a serious cocktail bar and a swanky, sexy lounge. From the décor to the very attractive bar staff and cocktail waitresses, it was aesthetically sexy yet classy. More importantly, though, ALIBI had the substance to back up its style. On our first visit, I fell in love with the Bright Eyed & Bushy Tailed, a delicious, boozy cocktail made with coffee-infused George Dickel Rye, Cocchi Barolo, Fernet, and chocolate and Angostura bitters. It was well made, nicely balanced, with a whole host of notes that I love. It was the best drink that I had had that particular trip to town. On our most recent visit, I had the Sweet Alabama ($19) made with Wild Turkey Rye, Aperol, lemon juice, Pompelmo soda, and Peychaud's bitters. It was an enjoyable drink, not too sweet, but nicely bitter with balanced citrus notes. It was good, but couldn't surpass the genius of the Bright Eyed & Bushy Tailed. Had I written my review after our first visit, it would've been, at a minimum, a 4-star experience. However, in the space of roughly six months between our visits, ALIBI lost a lot of its luster. ALIBI had always been on the high end for cocktail pricing compared to other Strip properties. However, on our latest visit, it appeared that it had raised its drink prices by roughly a $1 per cocktail making it, ranging on average, $3-7 more per drink compared to superior Strip cocktail spots like Vesper and Chandelier at the Cosmopolitan and Bound at the Cromwell, Downtown Cocktail Room in Fremont Street East, or Velveteen Rabbit (where drinks are $10 less!). While its execution was still solid, the price increase seemingly didn't reflect the use of better ingredients, unique infusions, house-made ingredients, or simply a bigger-sized drinks. The simple fact that ALIBI also didn't comp drinks for video poker players at the bar playing max credits on a $100 buy-in made for an overpriced experience that didn't deliver nearly as much as its competitors. What a shame. ALIBI forgot that at its core, it's not a nightclub, it's just another casino bar. I very likely won't be back.
