"Sitting where the porte-cochère used to be, the 2,500-square-foot Carousel Bar is an elevated, circular bar that seats nearly 100 along its perimeter, in booths, at the counter, and on an outer rail facing the Fremont Street Experience; below a ribbon of lights are carousel horses that will move up and down when the bar opened on June 10. The front features a 14-foot-tall neon showgirl sign, the bar includes outdoor video poker machines (a downtown first), and it will also showcase larger-than-life Vegas decor like a martini glass; a cooling system and the shade of the Plaza’s dome help keep the outdoor space temperate. Signature cocktails include the One Hot Mama (a spicy tequila drink) and the Amalfi Swing (a pink vodka cocktail), alongside beer and wine." - Janna Karel
