1. Greet your guest by welcoming them to your venue, introducing yourself and ask them if they’ve ever been to your bar before. Ex. “Welcome to the Venetian my name is (your name), have you ever been to (you venue) before?”

2. Offer them your specialty cocktail menu or suggest a few of your most popular concoctions. The sale is in the detail! Always be up selling and smile.

3. After you make their drinks and present them, try to quickly build a rapport with your new guests by finding out a little bit about them. You can ask them the reason for there visit – Business or Pleasure? What they’ve got planned on there trip to Vegas – Shows? Dinner Plans? Night Clubs? These types of questions should help you break the ice with your guests and help you learn a bit about who they are.

Why is this important?

Vegas can be intimidating and most people who come to visit don’t know anyone in town. By building a quick rapport or friendship with your guest – you increases the chance that they’ll return again on the same visit or even the next time they’re in town bringing in more business to you and you’re venue.

Look out for part 2 of this article in the very near future!

Fernet is usually served as a digestif after a meal but may also be served with coffee and espresso or mixed into coffee and espresso drinks. In Argentina it is commonly mixed with Coca Cola. It typically contains 45% alcohol by volume. It may be served at room temperature or on the rocks (with ice). A mint-flavoured version of fernet is also available.

Because of its list of ingredients, a number of home remedies call for fernet, including for the treatment of menstrual and gastrointestinal discomfort, hangovers, baby colic, and (formerly) cholera.

Its smell has been described as “like black licorice-flavored Listerine.”

Last year we had covered the Dalmore whiskey tasting session, which was about the experience of tasting the brand finest and rarest offerings. Such as event goes on to prove that fine whiskey tasting does indeed have takers, and that the coveted beverage is now becoming an investment tool. With high returns on rare blends in the market, the demand and the prices are going up by steep margins, thus making whisky collectors the new age investor gurus, and tasting sessions have indeed become rather sought after. Atlanta based real estate boss, Mahesh Patel is one such entrepreneur whose creations Ultimate whiskey Experience is the talk of the town in Las Vegas. The annual event, stated to be held over March 2-3 this year, will be a true connoisseurs delight, as some of the rarest and finest whiskeys will be offer for an elaborate tasting session.

What is being stated as the ‘Rolls Royce of tasting sessions’, The Ultimate Whisky Experience (also called the Nth 2012) will be a platform for those who have developed, and are looking to further enhance their understanding of rare whiskeys along with novice counterparts. With a whole range beginning from the traditional Scotches, there will be a few from Japan as well, which will give the visitors something to cherish for a long time, and if the wallet permits, even buy some of it. The entry to the event will be allowed through different packages on offer which are as follows:
·High roller package
Ticket Price: $1995 per person
This package is targeted to virtually all categories of tasters which include the novices and even the expert connoisseur. It would entail the visitor to early admission to the event, all ‘super pour’ whiskies for tasting, participation in the Whiskey speed dating event, lite bites (hi-tea) event in the exhibit hall, post event gourmet dinner, Glencairn cut crystal tasting glass, free cigar sample, high-roller gift bag, and an automatic entry to prize draw amongst others. There is also the added benefit of participating in a group as 4+ members would get the tickets at $1,795.50 and 8+ groups would get the tickets at $1695.75. ($200 Off the High Roller Ticket – find below)
