Bound

In all my years of drinking, I'd never tried a martini, and with this being my fourth trip to Vegas, I wanted to change that. After all, Vegas is one of the best cities to explore new foods, drinks, and adventures! I chose Bound in Las Vegas based on its stellar reviews, and I'm thrilled I did. Kavyn was the mixologist, and after I explained my predicament, he crafted a traditional stirred martini while educating me on the science behind martinis—what makes a dirty martini, why gin is preferable to vodka, and more. He even made another gin-based drink after learning I had mixed feelings about gin, which has now become my new favorite, surpassing the martini itself! In total, I spent $60 ($40 plus a tip) for two expertly crafted drinks and an unforgettable experience with a passionate professional. I'm now a fan of martinis and Bee's Knees drinks, and I fully intend to return here on future trips to Vegas, whether by myself or with friends. The only downside was that I felt underdressed as I was heading to the airport, but the staff were understanding and welcoming, which I greatly appreciated.

This petite lounge is designed for the grown and sophisticated crowd, not for the younger scene. With decades of enjoying classic drinks under my belt, I was more than pleased with theirs. I savored a Dirty Blonde—simply wonderful. Relaxed in a lounge chair and enjoyed a Whisky Sour while my partner indulged in an Old Fashioned, describing it as a "good stiff drink." The atmosphere is beautifully mature. At around $23 per drink, I love that they'll craft any drink you request; mine weren't even on the menu.

Bound in Las Vegas is a classy lounge perfect for those looking for a mature atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed the classic drinks I ordered during my visit, including a Dirty Blonde and a Whisky Sour. My husband also had a satisfying Old Fashioned. The prices were around $23 per drink, but I appreciated that they were willing to make custom drinks not listed on the menu. Overall, a lovely place for adults to relax and enjoy a good stiff drink.

During my recent trip to Las Vegas, I decided it was finally time to try a martini. After doing some research, I chose to visit Bound and I'm so glad I did. Kavyn, my mixologist, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. He took the time to explain the science behind martinis, the difference between a dirty martini and a traditional one, and why gin is the preferred spirit for this classic cocktail. After enjoying a perfectly crafted traditional martini, I discovered a new favorite drink thanks to Kavyn's recommendation. The Bee's Knees cocktail was a delightful surprise and I can't wait to come back and try more of their offerings on my future Vegas trips. The $60 I spent (including tip) was well worth it for the quality of the drinks and the exceptional service. One small hiccup was that I felt a bit underdressed as I was on my way to the airport, but the staff were welcoming and accommodating, which I appreciated. Bound is definitely a must-visit spot for anyone looking to expand their cocktail horizons in Las Vegas.

The dueling piano at Bound in Las Vegas is fantastic. The duo is lively and entertaining, playing a variety of genres. There is even space for dancing. The servers are quick to bring drinks. We did not dine there, but had a great time enjoying the music and atmosphere.

Bound in Las Vegas used to be my favorite spot for a peaceful and sophisticated lounge in the heart of the strip. However, it appears that they have combined it with the neighboring sports book, resulting in a less intimate atmosphere. I was disappointed to find that they no longer offer cocktail olives, which meant I couldn't enjoy my usual Sapphire Gibson.
