So, this post is more of a review than an original drink idea, but I have to write about the only drink I look forward to when I head to Vegas. Normally when I head out there I immediately find a pai-gow or blackjack table—depending on how cheap I am at the moment—and proceed to order double vodkas like they’re going out of style. When for whatever reason I can’t be at a table, the Fat Tuesday’s 190 Octane is the perfect ‘get fucked up’ drink to buy. Nothing makes a fruity daiquiri crazier than being put in a giant plastic mug filled with 190 proof everclear. Being from Southern California, I would never dream of going to a bar and getting any drink with 190 proof everclear in it, so in Vegas I cannot seem to pass this opportunity up. Two $15 mugs of these and you’ll be flat out drunk, three of these and well—I guess only you know what you end up doing at that point. Oh, and I do have a story coming along somewhere here.

A recent Saturday in Las Vegas I decided to head to the Fat Tuesday’s in the Forum Shops at Caeser’s Palace, get one of these drinks with two extra shots of everclear, and start a day of gambling. Well, turns out it was the perfect drink to get the day rolling, because before I knew it, I was spilling my drink all over a pai-gow table at Bally’s. The night turned into the usual Las Vegas blur and regressed to the point where I was winning a couple hundred dollars at blackjack but being so obnoxiously loud you would have thought I won the World Series of Poker. I also ended up spilling one of the four sake carafes we ordered at Nobu all over the table, and later scolding my friend for having a forty minute conversation with a stripper before getting a lapdance. Seriously, who does that?
