"The fight for bragging rights is real in Vegas—and Atomic Liquors calls itself the city’s oldest free-standing bar, originally opened in 1952. Located downtown, prices are a bit more manageable, with cocktails ranging from $11 to $13. Highlights include Oso’s Honey Jar with mezcal, rum, honey liquor, carrot, cardamon, and lemon, and Atomic Old Fashioned with orange turbinado, bitter, and either bourbon or rye—and beers on tap from $7 to $14." - Rachel Chang, Andrea Bennett
