Four fun spots to grab a drink on the Vegas Strip

Although we didn't do any gambling in Vegas, my husband and I did enjoy some cocktails. In Vegas, its perfectly legal to purchase a drink and walk down the Strip, sipping it.  At the Halo Bar, inside Planet Hollywood, they have a happy hour from 12-7 pm every day and well drinks are only five bucks.   Its not hard to find small bars around every corner.  You won't have any trouble getting your drink on in Vegas.  Also at Planet Hollywood is Cabo Wabo, owned by the famous rocker Sammy Hager.  We each had a signature cocktail.  I had a Sammy's Toasted Colada and my husband drank a Maui Rocker.  Both drinks were very tasty and well made and it was cool looking around at the guitars and other music memorabilia.   Sugar Factory is a restaurant and a fancy candy store.  I wanted to eat there but it was closed for construction.  But I did pass by a small Sugar Factory store where you can get cocktails and purchase candy and other Sugar Factory merchandise.  The drinks are huge and topped with candy for a garnish.  They are pricy but they did have a deal for half off your second drink.  The restaurant and retail space they're currently working on will be in front of Fashion Square Mall and be 12,500 square feet plus more for retail space on the bottom.   Lastly, the posh Cosmopolitan Hotel has five elegant bars right when you enter.  The one that caught my eye was the Chandelier Bar.  Although we didn't hang out and order anything, we just walked by, it looked like a spectacular place to drink.
