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.

Sink your teeth into our annual collection of dining — and drinking — stories, including a tally of Sin City's Tiki bars, why good bread is having a moment, and how one award-winning chef is serving up Caribbean history lessons through steak. Plus, discover how Las Vegas is a sports town, in more ways than one. Bon appétit!
