Best Cocktail Bars in The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino

First Bar Snacks event of 2025! Guest chefs were Chef Nicola Costagliola of Guy Savoy Caesars Palace and Chef Alan Mardonovich of Amari in UnCommons. Cocktails were the brainchildren of S + W's own mixologists, Camille Razo (C) and Drew Barnett (D). All patrons received a complimentary glass of the fizzy fruity floral Amuse Booze (C). For food (all $16 each)- Pissaladière (Chef Nicolas): four two-bite pieces, very airy with subtle saltiness, liked it so much, had it again at the end as a weird dessert. Panisse (Chef Nicolas): Three fries. Most excellent fries with a thin crisp shell and creamy innards, but only three of those sticks. Tuna Crudo "Nicoise" (Chef Brian Howard): Three fresh tuna slices, wonderfully acidic and meaty, perfect wee quail egg halves adding richness, pretty presentation. Corzetti alla Tartufo (Chef Alan): Started out tasting a bit too salty to me, but I seemed to get used to it as I ate. Pasta done OK, decent amount of truffle and cheese shavings. Prosciutto Wrapped Sweetbreads (Chef Brian): Two hefty chonks, well-wrapped in ham. Had to ask for the plate to be boxed up; unfortunately for my endurance, after the Pissaladière, the kitchen sent out the rest of my order with overwhelming speed. I can attest though that as leftovers the meat was a fatty rich delectable treat the next day. Drinks (all $18 each)- Mauresco Fizz (D): Very fresh and mild on the tongue, smooth and easy to drink. Topped with cobalt spirulina for wild visual contrast. Martinique (C): Had to order to learn how coffee, lemon, and avocado would combine. Well-rounded creaminess, smooth tropical spice hint. Value: Ambivalent. Quality and taste of S+W's offerings were great; slight demerits on taste or quantity from guests. Atmosphere: Buoyant. Place was packed and filled with conversations. Entertainment included a DJ, (fully dressed) fan dancers, and a stiltwalker. Service: Cheerfully professional from Cami, Amy, and Drew in the midst of controlled chaos.

Vanderpump in Las Vegas is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the stunning decor, luxurious ambiance, and the attention to detail in every corner of the space. The drinks were creative and perfectly crafted, and the food was nothing short of exquisite—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. What truly made our experience unforgettable was the service. Morgan, our server, was phenomenal! She was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure every detail of our dining experience was perfect. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. If you’re in Vegas and want an upscale yet welcoming dining experience, Vanderpump is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!

Skewers and garden toast pair fantastically together

Love going here for breakfast/brunch. We often plan a trip here when we are in Vegas, one of our usual go-to restaurants. Breakfasts are hearty portions and delicious. Love the crab omelette, the american breakfast, and the french toast. Mimosas and bloody marys are also very good. Great dining room, bright and airy and glass walls are pushed open when the weather is nice enough. You won't be disappointed.

Very fun bar/restauarant. The service was excellent and drinks are fun. Each is served in a unique tiki glass. They also have several vegetarian options on their menu.
