More about a Vegas Fathers Day

I have been meaning to get back to this post for a while now but….sometime life happens.
Anyways, as you can tell it has been a hectic week and one of the things I and most Fathers need at the end of a long week is a good drink. So why not take your Dad on a good old fashioned pub crawl through Vegas?
Actually you may not want to use the word "old" this weekend and the word "pub" hardly applies to some of these place but you get the idea.
To say Las Vegas has a lot of bars is definitely a huge understatement… So to make things a little easier I decided to group this post according to drinks. So in no particular order here are the best places ( by drink) that you can take Dad.
Vodka
The Red Square at Mandalay Bay is amazing. Not only was it voted the best bar in America by Playboy it is known as the best vodka house in town. With over 200 vodkas, you are virtually guaranteed that they will have Dad's drink.
Wine
The Vox Lounge is my favorite. Not because they are going to have the largest wine list but.. because they offer the best wine with the least amount of snobbery possible. In fact, if you have an interest in wine they offer "classes" on Saturday that will help you learn more about wine and cuisine. Great place.
Beer
You can get a beer anywhere, so what you are looking for here is a beer drinking room. And I have not found a better place to drink a beer than a good pub. My favorite? Quinn's Irish Pub at the Green Valley Ranch Casino. They have great beer, a great band( Darby O'Gill and the Little People) and Wednesdays beer games.
Martini
The "it" drink for the new generation is martinis and they have become as popular as cocktails. The only problem? Most bars can't make a martini to save their life. Not so, at Firefly. They have some of the best bartenders in the world, so if you think there isn't a difference when it comes to a martini, I dare you to give them a try.
Scotch
Scotch is a drink that you acquire a taste for. A once you have it, you a very particular.Therefore, if Dad likes scotch you better make sure you can get his brands wherever you take him. Ironically enough the best place I know of is in a french place. Napoleon's Bar in the Paris offers an impressive list even by the most discerning scotch drinkers standards.

Trust me when I say you can get a drink ANYWHERE in Las Vegas, make sure you make father's day special and take Dad to one of the places I have mentioned.
