    Theres a whisky bar in MGM, maybe worth a try. Also I've not had a bad drink in cosmo.

    I was going to say the same thing. I sent my 'cocktail-snob' sister to Chandelier Bar for a quick drink. She likes to play "stump the bartender". :) They planned on being there 30-45 minutes, stayed 5 hours, blew off the rest of their plans for the night and drank on all the levels. :haha:

    In April, got the best I have had in LV at the 777. It was about 1700 and the bartender Traci was awesome.

    I've had the best one at the Cosmo with muddled cherries a couple of years ago and the last one I had there was last year and I guess I didn't ask about the muddling before hand and it wasn't that great.

    Pretty sure I had an old-fashioned at parasol Down and it was really good, but it's been a while (I think that was a 2013 trip). We had been sent to that bar by VMBers because my husband likes to have a good Manhattan when we travel....He did say his drink was worth it. They were NOT cheap ;-)

    [Old Fashioneds are the bourbon/rye cocktails I get when I'm out - if I'm home, my favorite bourbon/rye cocktail to make is a Ward 8. It's super easy but not common so I don't ask for it when I'm out....2 oz rye, 3/4 oz lemon juice, 3/4 oz orange juice, 1tsp grenadine....]

    The best old fashioned I’ve ever had (might’ve been 3) without question was at The Golden Steer a couple of weeks ago.

    if you'll be downtown, the Griffin makes a good one. Or at least the bartender that was there on my last trip did. I may have had 3 of them.

    D Vue Bar and any cosmo bar or on the floor should be just what you are looking for.

    Late to this thread, but...

    Chandelier as others have mentioned. But for something a little different and quite tasty:
    Zuma resturant in Cosmo makes an amazing one with Japanese whiskey, perhaps my very favorite anywhere
    Carbone restaurant in Aria makes one with a speciality rum that is also fantastic. Carbone is an outstanding restaurant as well
