    If playing on the main floor slots or tables (e.g. not high limit room), what kind of drinks can I order? Thinking mainly Cromwell, CP or Bally’s/Paris... for example:

    - Can I order a no-sugar Red Bull? Or just a red bull and vodka (e.g. they wouldn’t bring the can)?

    - Can I order a Pinot Gringo and a Diet Coke at once?

    - How fancy of mixed drinks? Sea breeze or frozen daiquiri?

    Just general advice on how much you can ask for or specify?

    I always get grey goose and red bull at all those places. Or Hendricks and tonic without issue

    Just ask. They get that question all day every day so they will not look at you funny for asking.

    This is one of my favorite drinks and I've never even asked, because after they quit selling red bulls in the gift shops at Caesars, I bought an 8oz can at the bar one morning...for $7.50. I just assumed they wouldn't give me that on the low roller floor if they think it's worth that much. Definitely asking next week!

    Never had an issue and I drink at them all. I won’t drink rail stuff. They might ask for my diamond Card if I want a Fiji but not for a cocktail

    Can't tell you how many times I'll say grey goose, club soda and splash of cranberry. Sorry, you can't get GG. What's the best I can get? Absolut!

    I have never had a problem getting Grey Goose. I often ask if they want to see my Diamond card, and they say no.

    Never been told one time that Absolut is the best they can offer at CET. Kettle or Goose every time. Admittedly, I rarely play at Flamingo but it’s always available at Cromwell/Caesars/Paris, hell even Rio

    Can't think of what I'm doing wrong and I stay at CP and play.

    Do they generally give you better drinks if you’re Diamond? I’m newly Diamond, so not super familiar with what I can get with it!

    No, they aren’t checking your players card.

    last year when playing poker at caesars palace, they would only give you generic water unless you showed them a diamond card, then you could get a tiny Fiji. With seven star you could even get 2 of those. LOL

    I was at PH a week ago. I was so excited when she offered Grey Goose on the reg floor, but, it certainly didn't taste like Grey goose!

    Someone gave a great tip on one of my cocktail threads, have them repeat the drink back to you.***

    If you ask for a Grey goose Martini, and they say vodka Martini? You probably will get well.

    If they quote "GG Martini?" your odds are better or getting a specific brand.

    ***so sorry to whomever made that wise tip, I don't remember who made it or I'd give you your claim to fame!

    I'm not sure what you consider better, but I usually order and get Tito's with a Cosmopolitan every time I have that drink. I also get a Figi without asking. This is at Caesars.

    Tito's could be well imo. Better then absolut for me, GG, belvedere, Cîroc to name a few.

    Imho, if you are mixing it, does it really matter if it's GG, Absolut, Stoly, or plain old well vodka other the proof% ?

    With diamond card I can get Johnnie Walker Black. They always ask to see the diamond card and always bring me a Fiji water with it. Sweet.
