| - Wow.
I mean W-O-W.
Drinking in a chandelier can be pretty dangerous if you are not doing it right. It's also best done with as few people as possible 'cause you never know - you may crash in a loud bang at any given minute, and I am not talking about the "alcohol-suddenly-rushing-to-your-head" crash.
I am talking about the one that hurts and potentially kills you, "The War of the Roses" style. (The movie, not the actual English civil war.)
Vegas makes it effortless as you would imagine. You are trapped inside a gigantic prison of sparkling crystal, and you are free to choose your floor and the poison that goes with it. Yes sir - drinks are different on each level of the bar but one thing is for sure: they are all delicious.
I started on the top level with Well Heeled combining Hanger One blueberry, ginger syrup, pink grapefruit juice, chamomile tea, St Germain and blueberry preserves. Delicious, but the winner of the night was to be found on the first level under "Libertine". A wonderful concoction of Makers 46, rosemary simple syrup, orange marmalade and maple syrup foam. Sounds sweet and obnoxious; was not. Great balance of smoky, sweet and sour, one of the best drinks I have ever put my lips on.
If you are in for the show - the place is pretty interesting for people watching as well. I'll leave it at that. Not to be missed when you are in town. The best part? It's not even that pricey: most drinks have a $12 mark.
