The Absolut Peppar was the perfect vodka for this cocktail. The pickled asparagus and bacon were highlights and the combination of all of the different ingredients made for a perfect garnish. Although it was marketed as a “Build Your Own” Bloody, the bartender made me one with everything! Definitely the way to go. Lots of spices were seen floating throughout the dark red-colored cocktail and on the bottom of the cup. The Ice Bar’s Bloody looked super, super tasty! It was garnished with a slice of bacon, pickled asparagus, an olive, a pickle, some celery, a pepperoncini, and lime wedge. Like the BYO Bloody Mary, which you can read about below. But at the Nugget… There’s a bar inside with cheaper (and better) cocktails. And, of course, like all Las Vegas pools, there’s a bar with delicious drinks poolside. My inner child was absolutely released on that water slide. A freakin’ waterslide going through the shark tank. And my favorite part about the Nugget? They have a shark tank pool and waterslide that runs through theshark tank. I recommend it if you are interested in taking a Vegas vacation off of the Strip. The Nugget is a decently priced hotel with lots of restaurants, bars, and walking access to the Fremont Street Experience. I stayed there a few weeks ago before seeing PHISH for four nights at the MGM. The Golden Nugget is a way chill hotel in old Las Vegas– north of the Strip and near the Fremont Street Experience.
