You don’t have to be on the Strip for giant drinks. At the Downtown Cocktail Room in, yes, downtown Vegas, the menu features two punches, both offered in small (portioned for four to six) or large (portioned for eight to 12). The menu changes seasonally, but look for offerings like a vodka, cranberry, and sparkling wine concoction, or a sangria-style punch. Whatever you choose, it will come in a classic punch bowl with appropriately cute glassware.

What is a magnum of wine if not the original large-format cocktail? It’s a fine line, sure, but where else but Vegas can you get a six-liter bottle of 2013 California cabernet presented to your table? The six-liter bottle, also called an Imperial or Methuselah will run you $2,000, but you surely didn’t come to Vegas to save money.

The elegant surroundings at the Nomad might give you the impression that you’re not supposed to let loose, but the $125 martini bottle (available made classically with gin or dirty with olive juice and vodka) says otherwise. Drink it at the bar with a friend, or settle into a comfortable booth and pair the vodka with a burger and fries.
