At Vegas Vickie's

Winter cocktails are usually things of cinnamon and spice, cranberry and cream. To savor something that prepares you for the change of seasons, order the Land of Ginchantment at
Vegas Vickie’s in Circa. The beverage has a base of Hendrick’s gin and fino sherry, but neither takes a dominant role, blending subtly into the more verdural flavors of rose and snap pea syrup. It looks like a cloud and tastes like a garden — the perfect drink to order when you’re craving that first sip of spring.

Don't stop with snapshots — there's plenty more of Nevada to see when you hit the road to a town less traveled, like the five we handily rounded up for your summer road trip consideration.
