CES Show brought long lines and blistered feet. By the end of the day we were ready to chill. On our way to our room in the Spa Tower of Bellagio (request this tower if you stay here) we stopped by the Sensi bar for a Black Crush. This little beauty did the trick every evening. Jesus (our daily bartender) said people flock to this little tucked away restaurant just for THIS drink. “People have brought in a thermos on the day they leave Sin City to be filled with 5 or 6 Black Crush cocktails for their flight homeâ€.
