Green Beer and Carmen Electra

St. Paddy’s Day’s forecast: mayhem on the Strip. That’s why you’ll be ringing in the festivities above all that, from a garden terrace overlooking the Bellagio Fountains—starting at 9am sharp. Rounding out a full day’s worth of refinement: green beer and Carmen Electra.

Hard to tell out here, but spring is coming. To fill your wardrobe: TopMan’s new 20,000-square-foot outpost. You’ll find the type of slender-fitting desert garb favored by Hunter Thompson: loud, floral button-ups, cable-striped, cable-knit tees and straw Panama hats. Sadly, no visors, though.

A Massive Ode to Comfort Food

Nothing like a helping of all-American comfort food to mitigate the effects of too much Irish pride. So you’ll hit up this nearly 4,000-foot indoor-outdoor dining room, filled with the familiar scent of bacon-wrapped, apricot-stuffed dates. (Okay, maybe not that familiar.)
