HIT Lounge and Bar

Whiskey Flight!!!
Located inside Monte Carlo.
I only came here because I cashed in some myVegas coins and got a free whiskey tasting here.
Very fancy whiskey bar. Ton of selection. Server was nice.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting — $ 40 — Comes with Glenfiddich 12, Glenlivet 12, Macallan 12, and Oban 14. Yum! Huge pours for the flight. Very happy and a little buzzed after.
Thank you myVegas!

Had the bourbon tasting reward through the MyVegas game & app here. The bartender, Garth was awesome, well informed and so helpful even late at night on a Monday.

Had a Whiskey flight. Josue was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. It is located in the high roller area but it is worth the splurge and if you play MyVegas it is free.

Excellent old fashioned bar. Great for whiskey and hand crafted mixed drinks. The bartender, Garth, was friendly, curtious, and extremely knowledgeable about the whiskey and mixed drinks. My wife and I come to Vegas a lot, and we’ll definitely make this one of our «must visit» places.

Came by Hit Bar & Lounge on Thursday, July 9^th after having lunch at Monte Carlo. Someone in our group scored two free tastings through myVegas.
Our first tasting consisted of Oban 14, Macallan 12, Glenfiddich 12 and Glenlivet 12. I’m more of a whiskey and scotch girl, so I enjoyed these. The second tasting consisted of 2 Knob Creeks and 2 other pours. Bourbons, I believe. I don’t really remember this tasting as much as I’d had a lot of liquor at the tables prior to coming here.
Of course, what’s a good tasting without some cigars? I know nothing about cigars, but after texting the roommate and just randomly picking cigars by name, I got the Romeo y julieta churchills ($ 29) & Arturo fuente hemingway classic ($ 31). For a novice like me, these were enjoyable.
If you’re going to redeem your myVegas points, I think the whiskey tasting is one of the better rewards to spend it on.

I went here with my girlfriend to redeem our MyVegas reward for the free whiskey sampler and it was a STEAL. We got 4 very generous pours of whiskey we selected from a list and the service was great. It was also a nice get away from the craziness of the strip and was relatively quiet and calm compared to most of the other stop on our trip. A great place to stop by and unwind for a few drinks if you need a breather from the Vegas madness!

4 stars for free myvegas whiskey sampling. Got 4 nice glass of whiskey.
3 stars for bartender service ~
I guess I was spoiled by bar service at Comme Ca, but when I came here to redeemed my myvegas reward, we were greeted nicely enough at the beginning. We had fun w/​the whiskey and asked for water while we sipped our whiskey. I guess by the end, the bartender didn’t want to give us any more water and straight up lied and said they were out (even though I saw him pulled it out of the fridge and their was plenty more…) — at the end. Not sure why he was so stingy about giving us water, but left a little unpleasant taste in my mouth for that. We tipped him well for 4 glasses of prepoured whiskey and left. Maybe he wasn’t in a chatty mood or whatnot, but not the friendliest of bartender like at Comme Ca where we had fun bartenders who went out of their way to get us pens to draw on their placemat and shared stories and drink ideas w/​us. I don’t think I would be back here unless it was for another free tasting, I rather spend my money elsewhere.

The drinks here are amazing! They are a bit on the pricey side, but they are definitely worth it. I like the old-​style drinks that they had, including the Hemingway daiquiri. Definitely worth stopping in here if you are tired of the bland casino style drinks.

Jonathan the bartender was pretty awesome we claimed our whiskey tasting from myvegas!

Swanky, classy, and cool!
A friend and I came here to redeem our myvegas reward vouchers for free whiskey tastings. Upon sitting at the bar, we were given a menu of from which to choose four whiskeys for sampling. After selecting among known favorites (Jameson Select Reserve and Macallan), we asked the bartender for some recommendations for our final two choices. I’m pretty picky when it comes to whiskey (strictly Jameson fan), but to my surprise, I enjoyed all 4!
Valued at $ 40, the reward was quite a steal. Pours were very generous, and the bartender was accommodating with my requests for ice and water. Cool ambiance, comfy seats, and all around a wonderful place to take a breather from the Vegas of it all.

I went to this bar to get drinks with some family from out of town on Saturday and had the worst experience I’ve ever had at a bar in Las Vegas. The bartender measured every ingredient for every drink. I have never seen a bartender anywhere in vegas have to measure. The drinks were very weak and were definitely not worth the $ 15 per drink we paid. If the bartender had been at least a little personable it would have made up for it but I couldn’t get a conversation flowing with him no matter what I tried to talk to him about. I more than likely won’t be going back unless I have family or friends staying at the Monte Carlo.

I had a MyVegas reward for a free whiskey tasting. I really went into the experience expecting some free whiskey and leave. I have never been more wrong. James our bartender for my group was extremely knowledgeable in all regards. He picked from the large selection he thought would be best to try. The conversation following was something I will take away with for a long time. Talking about whiskey and scotch along with everything behind it was a learning experience. James made the experience so much more then grabbing a drink at the bar. highly recommend it. Also getting a nice buzz is a plus too. ;)

Interesting, featured in Las Vegas Weekly, but no reviews. This bar, and especially its $ 7.50 Happy Hour (Sun-​Thu, 5−7pm), is a hidden gem.
Bar menu is an elaborately researched, leather-​bound history of American cocktails, rendered in an unfortunate cursive font that’s hard to read, but give it a chance and you’ll learn a lot.
The cocktails are all handcrafted with exquisite attention to detail. I enjoyed talking booze with our friendly mixologist, and could easily have ordered each and every classic on the menu, but crab legs were waiting for me at the buffet.
Clover Club (gin, lemon juice, raspberry syrup, and egg white): a knockout.
Vieux Carre (whiskey, cognac, bitters, Benedictine): also great, strong.
Tasted:
Mai Tai (a souped up version of the classic): killer, tart
Hemingway Daiquiri (rum, lime & grapefruit juices, maraschino liqueur): not at all the sweet daiquiri you’d expect, very smooth.
Alas, it’s trapped in the Monte Carlo. HIT appears to be carved out of half the High Limit Lounge (never seen so many cameras hovering over a bar before), and while the sofas and bar feel luxe, the blah view of the gaming area reminds you that you’re not at Cosmopolitan or Mandarin’s sexier bars. Easily the biggest drawback, but if you can get over it, you’re in for some fantastic drinks.
