If you want to celebrate with a single-malt whisky in Las Vegas, Craftsteak at the MGM Grand offers 157 different brands, ranging from the light and ethereal Tomintoul 10-Year-Old, one of the newest Highland bottlings, to the rollicking smoke of Ardbeg 10-Year-Old from the fog-shrouded island of Islay. And in between you’ll find everything from a rare 1971 Bunnahabhain released in 2006 to celebrate that distillery’s 125th anniversary to a 1955 Macallan poured from a crystal Lalique decanter. The well-stocked bar is the next best thing to being in Scotland.
