I'm in Vegas....where do I need to go?

icantbejon · 11-04-2012, 06:57 PM

What cigar shops do I need to visit? I'm writing this from Casa Fuente, so I found that one. Any other recommendations?

Thanks,
Jon

IIRC there are some little shops down on Freemont Street @ the Freemont Street Experience area.
Check the cab prices ahead of time though, it's a haul from Caesars down to Freemont St.

Bonus: if you're into beer, the Triple-7 Brewery in the Main Street Casino is less than a block from Freemont street. Well worth it - good food, good beers. Their sampler is like $6 and has five 6oz pours. The brewmaster's tap offering changes all the time (it's not in the sampler though) - when I was there about 6 weeks ago, it was a nicely done cask-conditioned Saison.

Thanks for the recommendation....I am a beer man.

Davidoff cigar store in Mandalay Bay 1st floor. Nothing huge but they get some great Davidoff smokes that are hard to find elsewhere. Plus Mandalay has good overall odds so you can gamble for a while and smoke!

Man how I miss Vegas. Now I need to go back...

If you can manage to get off strip, Tobacco Leaf on west lake mead right by the 95. My go to shop. Good staff, selection and lounge.

that cask saison sounds pretty good.

I need to get out to Vegas as well. Might head out around March Madness this coming year. Not just for the sports book at Caesars

I was just down there and stopped by Pheasant Cigars. http://www.pheasantcigars.com/PHEASANT2.0BLOG/ Great shop and though my time there was short, the guy who opened the shop sat and talked hockey with me for a bit & had some cool hockey memorabilia hanging on the wall, so I immediately knew it was a quality shop, with quality employees! I wish I could have stayed & smoked the Tat J21 that I purchased, but I had some other commitments.

I also stopped at Casa Fuente, it was PACKED & though they had some great offerings....I was in and out, no purchase....nothing jumped out as something I wanted to pay that premium for. Nice place all the same.

I wasn't in love with CF. Their prices were out of control! I get it that they are seated in a huge casino, but damn! Gonna try Pheasants today if I can get out of bed. Flu is ruining my Vgas vacation.

FelonyRuckus · 11-06-2012, 06:33 AM

Man Cave! Look it up...they have a house cigar that is awesome.

The bus system in Vegas is the way to get around, it's much cheaper than taking a cab.

Plus, you get to say "I'm taking the duece!"

shopkins82 · 11-09-2012, 09:22 AM

Just avoid the tiny shop across from the Buffet at Ceasars... prices are absolutely ridiculous! $25 for a single Kuba Kuba? Yikes!

havanabound · 11-09-2012, 03:01 PM

Isn't the "Big Smoke" convention going on at the Mirage starting this evening. Hell, I'd go to that.

havanabound · 11-09-2012, 03:03 PM

Hell yeah! Love that place. Went there with my wife and she bought me a lap dance. UN-BUH-LIEVABLE.

All true.
Pheasant is a must.
From the Venetian, it's like a $12 cab ride.
2800 West Sahara. About two blocks West of 15 behind In and Out Burger.

Casa Fuente is a must from the novelty standpoint. I always visit both.

Digs · 11-13-2012, 08:54 PM

There was place called Napoleon cigar lounge located behind the Paris.

hammondc · 12-31-2012, 12:15 AM

Bumparoo....I'll be in LV this saturday through Wednesday. I would like to try Pheasant Cigars, but it is not open late. I'l be there for work and will likely not be available until after 6. We are staying at the M Resort. Hella nice, but a good ways south of the strip. However, the shuttle will take you anywhere for free until midnight. I may hit Casa Fuente since I have never been. Are there any other cigar shops open later other than CF and Davidoff?
