Good deal in Vegas at a bar

[gburger]

Last month I was in Vegas for CES.  One night a group of us went out for a nice dinner.  I got there early so I went to the bar for a drink.

I saw some really nice bottles on the top of the bar. Up there I saw a bottle of William Larue Weller.  I said "how much is the Weller way up at the top.?"

The bartender grabbed a stool and pulled down the bottle.  He typed in Weller into his computer register and said, "$13".

I said are you sure, you might be confusing that with the W.L. Weller.  He said no, that is the only Weller in the system.  I said, pour me a double then.

I asked him what proof it was, and he told me over 124.  Perfect I said.  After that pour I saw a Thomas H. Handy up there, he said that one was $14.  Crap, they messed up on that price also.

Least to say, I had a real fine night at dinner. 

 

The next night at a casino bar, I bought a shot of Maker's, $12.

Ha ha.  Win some, lose some.  Great story.

The closest I've come to that is the few times the bartender didn't know that when I ordered my bourbon neat they didn't have to fill the rocks glass to the top.
