Head to Merry Crimson at Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas for Some Serious Holiday Cheer

If you’re looking for the perfect place to grab drinks and get into the holiday spirit, consider Merry Crimson at Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas. Merry Crimson transforms this season into a Tinsel Town-themed pop-up bar featuring festive décor, fire pits, cozy outdoor igloos, live DJs and holiday-themed cocktails, all of which are worth taking a trip for.

“A lot of thought goes into the creation of our signature cocktails, from finding the perfect mix of ingredients to careful consideration in the presentation,” says Joe Yalda, vice president of guest experience at Station Casinos. “We know decadent cocktails must photograph well and taste amazing.”

One of the most popular cocktails is the Sleigh All Day, which is “served inside Christmas bulbs and arrives in a smokin’ Santa Sleigh,” he says. “For us, it was a lot of fun developing playful names that tie in with some of our favorite holiday sayings. Cocktails bring added cheer to the season, and we take a lot of pride delivering on the promise.”

Other fun and festive selections include All My Friends Are (Snow)flakes, made with Sipsmith and coconut-berry Red Bull; Gingerbread Kisses & Holiday Wishes, topped with vanilla whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a gingerbread man; Milk & Cookies for Santa, gingerbread cookie shot glasses with boozy “chocolate milk” shooters; Polar Espress(o), which comes with an edible chocolate Polar Express ticket; and You’re Such a Grinch, a bright tropical drink with pomegranate popping boba.

There are also two cocktail cart experiences that you can order tableside. One is a holiday champagne punch. The other is a spiked hot chocolate with your choice of Baileys, Kahlua, Absolut Vanilia, Jameson, Jack Daniels Fire or Patrón, with a freshly toasted one marshmallow skewer and toppings of your choice.
