The Venetian Las Vegas has unveiled the Dorsey a sleek new bar featuring innovative craft cocktails. “The new lounge is the ultimate destination for cocktail enthusiasts to experience innovative craft cocktails served in a comfortable and upbeat atmosphere, with a balance of finesse and sophistication unmatched in Las Vegas,” said a statement from the casino.
Designed to feel like a home away from home, the Dorsey offers an intimate yet energetic environment. The 4,500-square-foot space features rich materials throughout, such as French oak, brass, leather and marble, while the millwork exterior incorporates mahogany and brass. Intimate seating options encourage social interactions, such as a separate library space with a lustrous modern fireplace as the focal point. The Dorsey also incorporates digital art displayed on eight screens from artists such as Marilyn Minter, Poyen Wang and Jason Salavon.
The new venue features an inventive cocktail menu with pedigree, designed by award-winning barman Sam Ross of New York City’s Attaboy fame. Highlights from the menu include the Penicillin (scotch, fresh lemon, ginger and honey, Islay float), which the New York Times named to its list of 11 essential drinks of the “modern cocktail revival;” Let’s Elope (gin, fresh melon, lime, orgeat); East Side Rickey (vodka, cucumber, mint, lime, club soda); A La Louisiane (rye, Benedictine, Italian vermouth, absinthe, bitters); Coney Island Express (rum, cold brew coffee, vanilla, Amaro Ciociaro); Creole Punch (rum, pineapple, ginger, citrus, allspice, nutmeg) and much more. The Dorsey also boasts a full-service bar with a collection of spirits, beer and wine.
