Updated Old Fashioned list 2024
People ask me all the time where to find a good old fashioned. This is the list of MY favorite old fashioneds as of January 2024. They might not be yours based on how you like your drink. See the comments for how I like mine. If a location is not
I would love to show you inside Pinky Ring, Bruno Mars’s new lounge at Bellagio, but there is a very strict NO Phone policy. NO PICTURES! What I can tell you is that the lounge is beautiful. Very sexy modern 50s-60s vibe with cozy curved seating with varying levels. There is a
I think the entire state of California is in Vegas right now. Linq is absolutely packed. I can’t say it looks any different than a random Saturday night in 2019

Who knew
@HarrahsVegas
had a "swingin'" suite like this hiding on the 34th floor?😏 Papagiorgio tip of the day, late check-in for a single night stay sometimes scores you the 'suite-est' upgrades.😎

Love Herbs & Rye and Cleaver? Well they just opened a new breakfast joint called Morning News on Sahara just down the street from H&R. Try the Stardust or one of the many Benedicts. 😋 Open 7am-3pm. Menu in comments.

Did you know you can own one of the bulbs from the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign? You can even pick the exact date that your bulb lit up the city. 89 bulbs surround the sign and are collected monthly by Yesco, the owner of the sign. Russell Millar, the owner of Official Las
The first 100 guests at the grand opening of All’Antico Vinaio were served a free sandwich. After 2 hours in line ends up I was

.🤣 But after tasting a La Summer, La Paradiso, and a Venice Beach it was worth the wait and I was happy to pay! These sandwiches are huge
Gotta love an upgrade baby! Palms Place one bedroom suite

. Balconies on two sides but they were locked. I never got around to asking about access.

Where’s your happy place Vegas? For me it’s sometimes about the surroundings, often about the moment, and always about my city.

Touted as the best sandwich in Italy, All'antico Vinaio opens next week at Uncommons. Watching this guy make these sandwiches, I cannot wait!!

When all you wanna do is take a nice photo on the patio and Vegas has other ideas.

I very quietly popped over 5k followers this weekend. I’m amazed you’re interested in my little feed so I am genuinely flattered you’ve come along with me and my love for a great 🍔, a simple old fashioned, and my beautiful city. And extra 🍒’s of course. This sip’s for you 🥰🥃
The VERY BEST Mexican dish I have EVER had is at Letty’s in what is now called Midtown, the northern part of the Arts District. The Chilangos are Letty’s quesabirria tacos that are so perfectly crafted I was giggling by the third bite. I can’t even tell you what the best part is.
Just a little palate cleanser brought to you by

☀️Crazy busy on the strip. Lovely to stand here for a moment before navigating throngs of oblivious foot traffic blockers and those having absolutely no spatial awareness.

@ResortsWorldLV
. All this and a rubber ducky. Spotty windows not as noticeable as they appear on the video especially at night.

Gold level room at Fontainebleau with “great view” floor “50”. (As opposed to “best view” which is floors 54+). Lovely room with a super comfy bed and linens.

The Foundation Room
@MandalayBay
is still one of the sexiest lounges in Vegas. It’s a chimera of a quiet intimate lounge in the early evening and DJ fueled den of iniquity late into the wee hours. And I challenge you to find a Vegas visitor who doesn’t say wow when they walk out
The Lanai suite
@Cosmopolitan_LV
is a lovely surprise with a heated outdoor Jacuzzi, an incredible view, and provocative art in keeping with the Cosmo vibe. Many of these 12 suites on 14th floor have direct access to the Chelsea Pool when it’s open.
@VitalVegas
@LasVegasLocally
The Versaille Tower
@ParisVegas
is open. This is a newly renovated pool view room. There will be a bridge to access the tower from Paris constructed but for now the elevators are next to the poker room inside Horseshoe. Check the comments for the view at golden hour.

Despite the crowd I was able to get a few nice shots at The Conservatory. Hope you’re all spending the holidays with the ones you love. If not, I hope there’s whiskey. 🤗🥃🎄

So, how many months every year is F1 gonna mar the landscape? Grandstands up, grandstands down. Lights up, lights down. Attractions closed. Views blocked. Room rates for the race dropping like a rock. Will they repave every year?? 😟💔

My two pictures separated by 6.5 years. Nov 2016 I stood in Toshiba Plaza to learn the name of our new hockey team. Tonight I stood in the same spot and celebrated with
