Best value bar drink ?

I think one of the classic cocktails like a Long Island.

It is $8.75 and you can take your receipt to the casino and get a $5 dollar match play.

That means your Long Island and or any classic Cocktail could only cost $3.75. If you like to gamble

How does match play work?

 

You take your receipt to the cashier's cage in the casino and they give you a card. When you bet $5 on a table then they match it as if you have $10 on the table so if you win you get paid on $10, not $5. When we were on Pride a couple of weeks ago they also did match play if you spent $10 in the Punchliner's Club so that was a nice perk too.

This has been offered for a while now.

 

Match play is what it says. For example playing blackjack. you put down a $5 dollar chip plus your $5 match play. If you win the dealer pays you $10 dollars matching the $10 you just bet.

But you really only bet $5 of your money.

You can play it on any even odd payout game.. The outside of Roulette, Come out line in Craps, Your ante in Caribbean stud and of course blackjack.

Or my favorite of the classics, a Mojito. It takes a bit of the pain out of the $8.75 a drink to know I can think of it as a contribution to my Casino Entertainment Fund. :D

A pitcher of beer, have them put it in a bucket of ice to keep cold its a great value with gratuity its $18 @ 60oz. My husband will drink Foster's but would rather have draft. A bucket of beer is $25ish.

The martini tasting is $18ish, also a good value. I drink tequila usually and these martini's had me feeling good, after dinner.

If you want a good buzz, drink one Tokyo Ice tea and follow up with an Irish Breakfast. I have a review on here from the Paradise in which my son taught the bartender this drink and he kept "helping" people get a buzz for cheap. :D Not responsible if you drink more than one though, it was "lights out" for some poor takers. ;)

All classic menu drinks you can bring your receipt as stated before to the casino, we did several times.

Irish Breakfast is 2 shots, 1 shot Jameson, quickly followed by one shot of mixed oj and butterscotch snapps, it will taste like pancakes! I guarantee you'll be feeling it!:p

Have fun,

If you are looking for the MOST drink for your money - I would also recommend the Martini tasting. $15.00 (or so) per person and should get you well on your way!

 

Where do they have a martini tasting? I don't remember seeing that. Thx.
