Where do you go to indulge in a few alcoholic beverages while you're in Las Vegas? Is it the Casino Bar, the video poker area or the high end nightclub?

It's no secret there are plenty of places in Las Vegas where you can sit around and have a drink. Some are romantic, others are just plain parties waiting to bust out on to the Las Vegas strip. You're on vacation, go ahead and have a few drinks and then relax and have one more. Melt away the stress of everyday life and reinvent yourself if only for a few days. Las Vegas is all about allowing yourself just a tiny bit of irresponsibility and recklessness. Go ahead, have too much fun and then go back you hotel and take a nap.

Where you should have a drink in Las Vegas:

• Mandarin Bar at Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas - Sit along the window and take a long look down the Las Vegas strip from the 23rd floor.
• Parasol Down at Wynn Las Vegas - This is the place I go for the early afternoon drink. Sit out on the deck and have a stiff one as you gaze across at the water and up to the large trees. It is relaxing and the atmosphere tempts you to stay all day.
• Cabo Wabo Cantina Las Vegas - A "Waborita" with a view from the deck just steps from the Las Vegas strip. The music is on, the drinks are flowing and the sun is shinning. It is very Las Vegas.
• Minus 5 Ice Lounge - An ice bar with very cold vodka drinks and a little bit of Vegas flair. You won't stop in here all the time but it is interesting to take a look at.
