The Best Margaritas in Las Vegas
Whether it’s a $1.99 casino special, a $20 yard-long, or a $50 top-shelf blend behind a hidden door, Las Vegas is arguably the margarita capital of the country. Co-host Dayvid Figler joins co-host and food historian Sarah Lohman, along with Hey Las Vegas editor Rob Kachelriess, to explore our city’s surprising ties to the margarita, from the drink’s fuzzy origin story to the rise of yard-long slushies on the Strip. Plus, they share where to find the best (and most unique) margs in town. With Mexican Independence Day weekend around the corner, there’s never been a better time to track down your next great margarita.
