This summer, get ready to beat the heat with our picks for the best new bars in Las Vegas. JULIET COCKTAIL ROOM A T THE VENETIAN LAS VEGAS Photo Credit: CHRIS WESSLING Embark on a sensational journey of taste and sound at Juliet Cocktail Room, where the beverages are so beautiful that they’re almost like works of art. Imbibe libations like the Fields of Norway, made of Norwegian Aquavit, Viking Blod Mead, rosemary syrup, and green chartreuse, served in authentic drinking horn, or the Diamonds are Forever, made of rye whiskey, brown butter syrup, Ramazzotti Amaro, sweet vermouth, and orange smoke, served in a diamond-shaped decanter.

The lounge itself is rich, refined, dark, and sexy with Victorian-inspired décor, transporting guests to a bygone era of opulence and whimsy. 3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, 89109 Photo Credit: CHRIS WESSLING THE VAULT AT BELLAGIO HOTEL AND CASINO Photo Credit: MGM Resorts International The speakeasy trend carries on at The Vault, an intimate new boîte hidden behind a nondescript door off the casino floor at Bellagio Hotel and Casino. As can be expected of a speakeasy, the décor is all about velvet banquettes and sparkling chandeliers.

But where The Vault differs is that the spirits served are some of the rarest and most expensive in Sin City, such as O.F.C.

’s Highland Park 50-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, bottles of Bacardi and Ricard vermouth from the 1960s, as well as Rémy Martin cognac from the 1930s. As such, the cocktails are priced.
