The nearest places for hard booze(it's not fkn diluted, the grey goose and Crown are 80 proof, 40% alcohol.), are the ABC store in the Miracle Mile shops, the place in behind Bill's across from Bally's on Flamingo, and the ABC store in side the Fashion show mall across from the Wynn. The CVS by City Center does not have hard booze.

I called BS on the diluted liquor story it sounded ******ed. I started googling and have found several threads talking about diluted bottles of liquor in Ohio and Vegas. I looked around trying to find a pic but no luck. It seems there is something to this story. People kept referencing ohio and their 21% liquors.
So I went to wiki to check the laws for Ohio.
Normal proof spirits (>21% ABV) are sold only in a limited number of agent stores. Many retail outlets sell diluted spirits (diluted by water to 21% ABV) under a more readily obtained permit.

I don't know I have never lived in a state with weird liquor laws. I would like to see a pic also from anyone in Vegas.

If it was diluted to 21% with water, it would have been MUCH lighter than regular Jack.

I guess I'm getting that there are ****ty brands of paint thinner out there that are bottling at 42 proof, but continue to call BS on any name-brand liquors selling the same until someone proves otherwise. I'm also positing that the diluted 42 proof liquor is not sold in Vegas.

do you know if you can get booze at the airport before cabbing to the strip?

I feel like airport booze prices would be worse than strip prices. Not 100% sure tho

But at least you don't have to worry that they are putting water in half the bottle lol

such a terrible thread. how about for anybody who needs a ride, just pm me and i'll pick you up from aria, take you to albertsons (or lee's liquor), and take you back.

hell, i'll pick you up from the airport, hit up the store, and take you to aria. I get decent gas mileage and i'm desperate for some serial rapings, i mean... friends.

only the latter is a joke. I'm at aria all the time, and cabbing to/from will be like the seinfeld episode about recycling bottles. If stuff like this is such a huge issue, why dont you people just bribe (read: "be nice to") poker playing locals and get a free(ish) ride.

bang, problem solved.
