Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Vegas's classic cocktail-bar Old Fashioned: rye or bourbon, demerara syrup, Angostura and orange bitters, a large hand-cut ice cube, expressed orange peel and Luxardo cherry.
The Old Fashioned has been on Las Vegas bar menus since the Strip steakhouse era of the 1960s, but the modern craft-cocktail revival began Downtown after Atomic Liquors (Vegas's oldest standalone bar, licensed 1952) and the John E Carson Hotel district renovated through the early 2010s. Carson Kitchen, Velveteen Rabbit, Atomic Liquors, and the Peppermill Fireside Lounge each run their own house Old Fashioned, and Strip steakhouses such as Bavette's and Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres pour the cocktail at the table.
