I was wondering if anyone knows where you can comped premium brands in cocktails instead of generic booze, while playing bartop vp at quarter level. I will be in Las Vegas in 3 weeks and this information would be very handy.
I think you can't go wrong with Book & Stage at Cosmo. Great, GREAT drinks and they're comped so long as you're playing max bet on the VP machine. That said, I'm not sure what specifically you're looking for? I'm hard pressed to think you'll be able to get JW Blue comped anywhere. Ditto for Grey Goose (yes, I appreciate that there's quite a difference between JW Blue and Grey Goose, but you get my point).
FWIW, I usually have no problem getting Bacardi...but they probably consider that "well". I know that Breeze bar when you first walk into TI (from the main front entrance) only comps up to JW Black...big whoop-tee-doo! So I'd probably go for B&S @ Cosmo.
I don't do bartop - but playing 25c VP JoB on the floor I never had a problem anywhere - From Mandalay Bay to Main Street Station - if I specify a premium drink (always Scotch for me) I get it.
Interesting tidbit of info--we were playing at Ceasars (vp back by the mall) and I don't know what hubby was drinking but waitress was bringing him tall glasses/doubles as we were off her route. Well later that evening he ordered the same drink and was told that alcohol was not available at that bar and that if a bar does not have what you order they are suppose to tell you. --Just saying they can't serve you well when you ask for higher grade/premium drinks.
Good point ltAx. For the bourbon drinkers, in Las Vegas I have been able to get Makers Mark by asking. otherwise they give you Jim Beam. I will also give a better tip to the waitess for that.
In Atlantic City, they don't all have anything better than JB.
Seems like a couple of years ago, while playing at Harrahs, they had a sign that said they were happy to serve premium drinks for like $3 each, while you were gambling. If I recall, their "premium" drinks didn't seem that premium at all (maybe Makers, Grey Goose, etc). Do they still have/do this?
