    Old fashioned and a whiskey sour
    Pete M.

    Very chill whiskey lounge. Great service. Great drinks. One of the best in LV! Looking forward to returning.

    They only had plastic cups!

    We came in for some drinks before our show at the theater. I told our bartender that I wanted champagne and she looked shocked that they had champagne! I had to point it out on the mobile menu to her and it was comical. So she went to the back to bring me my bottle of champagne but couldn't open it. The other bartender helped. They only had plastic cups so I was drinking a nice bottle of champagne in plastic cups! LMAO A dive bar at MGM grand, bartenders were friendly and they had live band so it was not bad!

    Whiskey neat

    A great quiet and relaxing bar. The service was good. And drink was made well... whiskey neat. Haha. But the glass was clean and a nice relaxing location to sip.

    This is a great lounge to hang out and have a nice drink. It's located inside the casino and has lots of seating. The service was quick and drinks are good. They had live music on Friday night, which was great. Great place to chill before hitting the party scene or for any occasion.

    Dark Mojito

    Inside the MGM Grand Hotel, off the casino floor. Located right next to the David Copperfield theater. I ordered a dark mojito for my wife, tasted ok, needed more sugar and too much lime. Chill dance music played in the background. The ambience is nice and dim. Bartenders and waitress was friendly.

    Hung out with a buddy from work after a long day to enjoy cocktails and cigars. Located in the MGM Grand Casino, Whiskey Down has a wide variety of whiskeys that you can enjoy with your stogie. Order options from the bar or tables and lounge seating with waitstaff. A couple of flatscreens, music in the background and an open view of the casino floor, it's not a quite relaxing atmosphere but I enjoyed it nevertheless, with a Davidoff cigar and Old Fashion cocktail.

    Manhattan and Old Fashioned
    Adela R.

    We came here because it was listed as a whiskey bar. We asked for a drink menu, selected a few whiskeys we were interested in and the bartender told us they didn't have any of those and that we should look at the shelf for what they have available. He said they were told to give the menu if asked for it, but they didn't carry a lot of those items. The drinks we order ent weren't terrible, the old fashioned was fine but the Manhattan had a unique taste to it and not in a good way. They did have live music which was nice. I wouldn't call it a specialty bar, but it's an ok place if you just want to stop by for a simple drink.

    Just stopped in for a quick drink Hubs had a Manhattan - he really enjoyed it Ambiance is perfect for a whiskey bar Service was good

    What a girl wants! RedBull and Vodka  Thanks to our amazing Bartender Erick!!!!

    Beautiful bar, nice atmosphere, perfect place to stop for a cocktail!Our bartender Erick was amazing! What are you waiting for? Go get a drink at Whiskey Down!!

    Rye, toasted, their classic bourbon whiskey and   old fashioned
    Derreck C.

    Server recommended I get the Basil Hayden flight. Well worth it, and the Rye was the top in my opinion! The Rye is the best and to wash it all down with an old fashioned can't complain at all.

    Is this still a cigar lounge?

    I'd describe it as a whiskey bar that allows cigar smoking. They do no sell stogies

    Do they have happy hour? If so, what and when?

    No they don't. Also, there's no food, and they don't allow outside food from anywhere. Even if it's from inside Caesars Palace. My brother-in-law and I got kicked out for having snacks...and we were drinking their so-called "top shelf" tequilas.

All I remember was going through the casino areas of Paris Hotel, and then going down one floor to the Horseshoe area to reach this bar just minutes before closing on a Friday close to midnight. I quickly grabbed a seat at the bar area and perused the menu, which has a ton of drinks, beers, wines, mocktails and even snacks. Even when close to closing time, patrons filled up all the bar seating which isn't a lot; most seating was couches and tables near the knickknacks. I got myself the Bee's Knees, which is cranberry and pineapple juice, apple puree, cinnamon fire syrup and some ginger beer according to their menu just outside the front entrance. I can only describe the taste as a sweetened fruit juice with a ton of fizz from the ginger beer, and the pineapple and apple came out on top for overpowering the drink overall. Some mint leaves and a slice of grapefruit were added in, and the mint leaves made this drink feel more like a special cocktail. This and other mocktails is $13 before tax, so pretty high price especially when considering their other alcoholic drinks are not that much higher than that... I actually still loved my drink, though! It was a nice wrap-up for my last day in Vegas and I'm curious now to look a lot more carefully at the stuff on the walls if I ever come here again!

    Wow this place BLEW US AWAY!!! We got in on Saturday night and walked into Bruno Mars performing!!…read more The vibe was so energetic and unique, I definitely think the no phone policy is what made it feel so special. We had so much fun we went back on Sunday night just expecting good energy and live music. We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!

The live music was incredible! A lot of talent and a wide variety of songs. The energy was electric. The DJ between live sets was great too, he really kept the hype going. This club is worth the hype and the splurge.

The drinks are genuinely top-notch -- inventive, beautifully built, and finished with real theater: ours arrived with a smoking pour done tableside, and it tasted as good as it looked, which is the part most "experience" bars forget. Our server knew her menu cold, made sharp recommendations, and prepared everything with style and obvious pride in the craft. The atmosphere is lively without being chaotic -- three stories of glittering chandelier around you, good energy, and you can still hold a conversation. We hit it as the opening act of a celebration night and it ended up being one of the best stops of the whole trip. The same night, we paid premium prices elsewhere for an "immersive experience" that couldn't hold a candle to what this bar does effortlessly. Skip the gimmicks. Come here. This is the real thing.

Giant glass chandelier to accompany the name. Drinks are strong, free little water bottles (this was a nice touch to keep us all hydrated as we hung out until late), and handled our large (80+) person group admirably. They have a number of seating spaces with plush, couch-like seats downstairs, and lots of crystals and mirrors to reflect. Open to the casino so you can see the folks gambling and enjoying the space. At least they had enough bartenders, so that was good, too! Glass staircase down to the first floor. We didn't try any food (not even sure if they had a food menu?) , but I see notes about a secret pizza place? I'll have to try it again the next time.

We had a reservation but arrived a little early and were seated immediately. When we mentioned that we were celebrating our engagements, they surprised us with complimentary shots, which were delicious and such a thoughtful way to start the night. My best friend ordered a mocktail that she is still talking about and claims was one of the best drinks she's ever had. I ordered the pink margarita and absolutely loved it. The presentation of everything was gorgeous and felt so intentional. For food, we each ordered the Grilled Steak Skewers with pistachio chimichurri, and of course I couldn't come to a Vanderpump restaurant without trying the iconic Goat Cheese Balls. They absolutely lived up to the hype! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and the quality matched the elevated experience from start to finish. The ambiance is what really takes this place to another level. It's glamorous, romantic, moody, and luxurious without feeling like a gimmicky reality TV tourist attraction. You genuinely feel like you've stepped into the Vanderpump world.
