how expensive are the bars and clubs

Hi

I am off to vegas next week. What is the average price for a beer/wine? Is there any happy hour or promotions nights to look out for

how expensive are the bars and clubs

Depends on what and where you are drinking.

It probably averages $5.00 a drink with a whole lot of room above and under that price.

There are promotions and of course the comped drinks when playing.

The ambience of the place has a lot to do with the prices.

For example a standard bottle of Miller Lite will cost a lot more at Bellagio than the same bottle at O%26#39;Shea%26#39;s and less Downtown.

Most places have some sort of deal going.

Getting you drunk and careless then in the mood to gamble is where they make their money.

Cheapo Las Vegas has a section on how to get by on the cheap.

I was paying $22 for a double of Captain and Coke at Rum Jungle. I recommend getting drunk before you enter the club so paying thoses prices don%26#39;t hurt as bad.

Last drink I remember was at a bar in paris

A single black label was $8

Two of us each had double Gin %26amp; 7s and when they brought them to us it was $44. I tried not to fall over. Best drink I ever had, so strong. That was at the lounge in Bally%26#39;s.

Lots of happy hour from 4-7 where you can get better deals on specific drinks.

I can see it now, this will end up as a boast that people paid something insane for a drink at a certain place and don%26#39;t forget about bottle service.

Chitown don%26#39;t play that.

For simple low rollers like me, Downtown usually has cheap and powerful drinks, Mermaids with an extra shot comes to mind for that. Dollar drafts can be found at a lot of little places Downtown.

For instance a can of Busch Beer is a buck at the Atomic and they even open it for you.

On the Strip try O%26#39;Shea%26#39;s, Bills etc.

I remember getting a 12 pack at the 7-11 that used to be at Fremont and the Blvd. Later that day I ordered a bottle of the same at a bar in a fancy place on the Strip and the bottle cost as much as the 12 pack.

There are ';package goods liqour stores'; with bottles to go downtown and all along the Strip so why not pickup a few drinks at half the price as in the bar then walk along with them.

I drink beer and usually get a stash of beer and chips for the room and keep it on ice in the fridge or a cheap cooler with free hotel ice.

If you get the same type of beer that they sell in the casinos you can walk in with your own much cheaper bottle

Don%26#39;t rule out the classic hip flask.

Yes someone is bound to say free drinks when playing but they won%26#39;t say that they also lost $50.00 in order to get a $2.00 drink.

Final thought BEER - Not Just For Breakfast Anymore.

If you are talking about an actual club or a nice high end bar/lounge at night then 7/beer, 8/shots, 11-20s for speciality or mixed drinks.

There are deals to be had- Slots a Fun and Casino Royale each have 1 dollar drink specials.

If you really just want to drink then sit at a decent Keno Lounge and order drinks from the cocktail waitress or go to a bar that allows free drinks while playing VP and put in 20/ hr or so and play slow... I took my strategy card and played VP slooowly and tipped well and was taken care of by the bartender.

* I did want to add that I mean sit and play at a keno area
