Field greens, sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese, pine nuts and balsamic vinaigrette. With over 30 hit songs, The Rat Pack Lounge will leave you singing and. Now he and the boys have one night to make things right. It seems Frank made an unfulfilled promise to Vic, the owner of the Rat Pack Lounge. Frank, Dean, and Sammy are up in heaven, but God tells them they left some unfinished business back on Earth.


Their gin martini with an olive or two will sit right, for example, and Frank Sinatra’s Golden Gate drink of choice, Jack Daniel’s with a splash of bottled water over four ice cubes, might make you feel like singing a tune of your own.If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, opt for the showy Flaming Sidecar, which begins with a spectacle of a show put on by your bartender and, you guessed it, lots of flames. The flare bartenders, considered some of the best in the world, will make you anything you want, so don’t limit yourself. And walking through the casino — whether you’re in the high limits gambling room, penthouse suites, hotel rooms or at the bar — you’ll notice subtle decorative details that nod to eras gone by, including walls dripping with velvety fringe and, of course, Bar Prohibition’s tantalizing drink menu.Speaking of the menu, let’s talk drinks. Visitors can also check out the lobby display case, which houses old photographs, as well as the hotel’s original guestbook and first telephone (the first telephone in the city, mind you). Sure, it’s been renovated and updated over the years, a requirement for any establishment that’s reached its 100th birthday, but Golden Gate works diligently to retain that sense of old Las Vegas charm.For example, the original letters that spelled out “HOTEL,” once lit up on the building’s exterior, have been repurposed in the lobby. “The mystique of Las Vegas is real, the characters you hear about were actually here, and the Golden Gate was part of all that.”Stepping inside of Golden Gate Casino, sitting at its bar and ordering from its speakeasy-inspired menu, makes you not only feel like you’re a part of history, but actually makes you a part of history.
Keeping with the prohibition theme, all cocktails ordered from the speakeasy-inspired menu are served in a covert mug.Whatever you drink, whatever you play, however long you decide to linger, Golden Gate is one of those Las Vegas destinations you have to hit if you’re at all intrigued by the city’s colorful history. You could also go the ultra-traditional route with the bar’s Prohibition cocktail, a classic Old Fashioned with bourbon, bitters, water and sugar.
