What are the basic Vegas Nightclub Drink Prices?

There are a few things that everyone should know about alcoholic beverages and bars. There are some things that everyone needs to know about Free drinks in Vegas and Bars. We consulted nightclub bartenders, cocktail waiters, and other nightclub staff to find out what people usually order.

Let’s start with some basic information about drinking in Las Vegas.

  • In Las Vegas, the drinking age is 21 years old and above.
  • Las Vegas doesn’t have the absurd alcohol laws most American cities are required to follow. You won’t hear “LAST CALL” ever in any bar or nightclub. It’s Vegas. Here you can drink all day long.
  • It’s perfectly legal for you to stroll around The Strip and Downtown Las Vegas holding an alcoholic drink. If you do this, there is no chance of being arrested, cited, fined, or given a second glance. It’s a whole other story if you are drunk and in public.
  • Most clubs offer plastic cups for takeout at the exit.
  • You may not drink alcohol in your own vehicle or on most public transport. Some tour buses, taxis, and limousines are exceptions. Ask the driver if you are unsure.

You should know that drinks at Vegas nightclubs can be more expensive. Prices range from $10 to $20, depending on the drink and where it was ordered. You won’t get much benefit from standing at the bar and ranting to anyone within 10 feet about how many beer cases you could purchase for this price.

  • Import Beer: $8 – $10

Bartenders are usually very attentive.

We recommend that you find a sidebar in the club to place your drink order. They are usually the easiest and fastest way to reach them. Wherever you choose to drink, make sure that one bartender is the only person from whom you will order drinks throughout the evening.

Simple is best. Start the evening with a round of shots. Most people don’t mind taking shots because they are quick and easy. Dillon Reese was a good friend of mine, and he helped us talk with other bartenders in Las Vegas about the drinks and shots that were most frequently ordered. Everyone seemed to agree that the most popular beverages were eight types of shots or twelve different mixed drinks.
