8 Best Places to Drink Whiskey in Las Vegas

Smooth, sophisticated, and smoky – no drink matches whiskey. Whether rye, bourbon, or scotch, whiskey is a critical aspect of cocktail culture. It's also an essential part of the Vegas culture. You might like it served as the backbone of a mixed drink, on the rocks, or neat, whichever the case, here are some top spots where you can order it in Sin City.

1. The Underground at The Mob Museum

The Underground at The Mob Museum is ideal for those who enjoy their whiskey with some Jazz music. At the basement of the Mob Museum, you'll find the speakeasy, a password-only homage to the Prohibition era. They serve whiskey cocktails such as the Blinker (grapefruit, lavender, raspberry, and rye) and Rattlesnake (absinthe, egg white, sugar, lemon, and rye) alongside other recipes.
