Vodka for Breakfast, What Else Would You Expect from a Buffet in Las Vegas?

Last weekend, Twitterer HeartBreakTheeo was thrilled to see that the Paradise Garden Buffet at The Flamingo gave out little vodka bottles during brunch. But we're not that surprised. This is Vegas! Of course, they are going to hand out little vodka bottles with breakfast.

Actually, this is probably a part of the buffet's "Bloody Mary" brunch which runs from 7am to 4pm and costs $24.99 per person. The first Bloody Mary is included but you have to pay up for the rest. You can, however, mix your morning hangover cure to your own delight as Paradise Garden provides the toppings and mixers.

Aside from alcohol, there is actual food at Paradise Garden. In the mornings, you can expect to find ade-to-order Omelets, several breakfast meats, buttermilk biscuits, waffles, country-fried potatoes and freshly baked pastries. The breakfast of champions indeed.

Was Someone Drowning Their Wasted Space Sorrows Yesterday?

Ah, Hard Rock. Like moths to a flame, like ants to antkiller, such are we drawn to you. Last night, it was because we scored a $50 room with $50 resort credit from their awesome Twitter Tuesday deals.

Anyways, this is what greeted us in the carpark as we arrived last night. If you’re into your brands, we believe it may have been Goose.

Tweet of the Weekend: What Is the Total Vegas Experience?

Many people got trashed in Vegas this weekend, and lots of them told the world about it. So, every Monday we’re bringing you our favourite tweet of the weekend. And don’t forget to follow us at @vegaschatter.

What is the Vegas experience? Drinking a souvenir drink, surely. Seeing a show, possibly a Cirque one. Obliterating yourself until you have blackouts. That sounds about right.

@raisegrate has another - getting flashed at:

Where to Drink for Just $10 Tomorrow Night

Right now, The Palms is currently running a silly Fire and Ice room promotion sponsored by Trojan condoms that contains nothing fiery nor icey. But across the street at The Rio and inside McFadden's, "Fire and Ice" actually means something there.

Tomorrow night, the bar will open their oversized ice luge with chilled shots while other guests can engage in a spicy game made up of shots and hot sauce. Apparently, the first person who can melt their own shot glass first wins some cash and prizes. Not into playing games? McFadden's has an open bar from 8 to 10pm that's just $10 for both guys and girls. They do it again later from 11pm to 1am except the price increases for dudes to $20. But it might be worth it.

The bar is ending the night with a "Hot Bodies Hard Cash Contest" where two teams work to melt down a block with cash frozen inside. The first team to extract the money wins the cash and gets to spend it on blow and hookers a suite upgrade at The Rio! All that for just $10! (or $20 if you're a dude.)

It's Wednesday Night. Do You Know Where Your Salsa Shoes Are?

Sorry folks, doing the Macarena dance will NOT cut it anymore. You need to learn some new Latin dance moves and the place to do it is now Rhumbar at The Mirage during "Havana Tone."

Every Wednesday night at 9pm, Rumba Rico, a group of professional Latin dancers and percussionists will salsa, rumba and cha cha inside and outside of Rhumbar, all to the rhythm of the night and the Mirage volcanoes too. Best of all, they will teach you and your two left feet some spicy dance moves for 30 minutes or so.

'Squirt Guns and Bikini Buns' On Display at Rockhouse This Friday

It turns out that you don't need a pool party in Vegas to get soaking wet. You just need to stop in at the debaucherous Rockhouse bar at Imperial Palace.

Surely, you've seen the Rockhouse on your last stroll down the Strip. It's that wild bar next to Vince Neil Ink where drunk teenagers 21-year-olds are rocking out with their 32-ounce guitar drinks. The place doesn't even have a front door, it's completely wide open and if you're walking by the bar's "front porch" this Friday afternoon, prepare to get wet.

The bar is hosting a "Squirt Guns and Bikini Buns" party at 2pm. Really, that's pretty self-explanatory. But if you need more info, there's two for one draft beers and $5 shots will be poured until 6pm by bikini-clad bartenders (see photo above.) A front porch tailgate menu featuring hamburgers, chicken fingers, mini corndogs and chimichangs will also be served.

Hmm...you may leave the bar without your bikini buns if you indulge in all that food. For more info, hit up therockhousebar.com.

The Weekend's Reason For Living: National Tequila Day

The tequilas at Dos Caminos await. ¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!

National Tequila Day is tomorrow, July 24. A day for enjoying the finer points of tequila. For sippin’ a drink and feelin’ fine. This splendid holiday falls on a Saturday this year, meaning most of us will have all day to partake in the celebration of the spirit. Or just have a reason to get completely plastered and place the blame for that splitting headache come Sunday.

Here are some of our top spots to celebrate your new found tequila fetish:

Could We Soon Be Boozing at the Baggage Claim?

We all know how people like to imbibe on the plane out to Vegas but what about that pesky downtime in between waiting for a cab at McCarran and getting to your hotel before you can have another fix?

Well, it looks like Las Vegas has come up with a solution--putting a liquor store in the D terminal near the baggage claim. The Las Vegas Sun reported over the weekend (on a Sunday too!) that the airport is actively working on putting a liquor store in McCarran:

A five-person airport evaluation team looked at the proposals using nine criteria, including their financial proposal and the applicants’ financial stability, liquor store experience and operating plan. Proposals were rated and Lee’s Runway Liquor collected the most points, with 85.8 of a possible 100.

Tweet of the Weekend: Drinking By A Pool Does Not Dilute The Alcohol

Many people got trashed in Vegas this weekend, and lots of them told the world about it. So, every Monday we’re bringing you our favourite tweet of the weekend. And don’t forget to follow us at @vegaschatter.

Remember, people, it’s hot out there. And what does the heat do? As well as getting you frazzled and turning you into a human showerhead, it makes you drunker quicker.

Case in point: @kimwmodel, who started her Saturday with these words:

Of course I would get so drunk yesterday at the pool, security had to wheel me to my room! Wow! Only in Vegas*.

She then slept through the concert she was meant to be going to that night – so remember, people, it’s just not worth it. Especially seeing as it was only the Flamingo pool. If you're going to do that, you should at least make it Rehab or something.

Evening Call Giving Out Free Shots on July 19

This is Vegas, the land of free drinks--at least on the casino floors while you're gambling. But can you ask for free shots? Your cocktail waitress might oblige you provided her tip is big enough but over at the Evening Call, a sort of take-out bar experience with locations at Bally's, Luxor and Mandalay, shots are free on Monday, July 19 which also happens to be National Daiquiri Day.

All day long on July 19, you can pop into one of these bars and order one of their signature exotic drinks, specially priced at $3, such as passion berry with Russian vodka, blended cappuccino with Irish cream or frozen strawberry with banana rum. The drinks then come with an extra shot of either Bacardi, Three Olives, Kettle One or Jose Cuervo...on the house. You can pour it in or throw it down the hatch yourself.

The Search for the Elusive Dude Cocktail Continues

Still looking tasty in a sexy glass, but the green stripes disqualify you, sir.

We've been on a mission to find the stiffest, manliest, Vegas cocktail that we would be proud to sip, chug, drink, or slam. We first got sidetracked talking about beer before pondering what can be considered a manly drink.

Feedback on what can be considered a dude drink has been pretty consistent. Several have written back simply "Beer". One commenter waxed poetic about the virtues of whiskey while dressing the part. Another, not a dude but knows a dude, raved about Negronis and an LA cocktail-only bar that frowns on mixers. Another VC friend summed it up with "anything that requires substantial mixing by a bartender is not a guy drink".

Tweet of the Weekend: Some Stereotypes Really Are True

Many people got trashed in Vegas this weekend, and lots of them told the world about it. So, every Monday we’re bringing you our favourite tweet of the weekend. And don’t forget to follow us at @vegaschatter.

Do Vegas stereotypes actually ever happen? Like, how many people actually get so drunk that they get a tattoo on their ass and develop a gambling habit on a weekend visit?

Well, looks like we’ve found one by the looks of @k0ko’s tweet yesterday:

Goodbye Vegas, thank you for getting me drunk, the tattoo on my ass and my new gambling addiction.

We’re really hoping that’s no exaggeration.
