Fodor's Expert Review Hit Bar & Lounge

Located next to the high-limit area on Monte Carlo's main casino floor, the swanky and intimate Hit Lounge doubles as the classroom where members of MGM's M Life Rewards Club can experience a hands-on mixology class. The two-hour tutorial, available for the member and up to nine friends, is essentially a private session with the director of beverage, who'll teach the secrets behind mastering the perfect cocktail. Students don't only learn how to make cocktails; they also drink them. Otherwise grab one of the leather-bound menus and peruse cocktails of yore complete with stories about the inspirations behind them. This lounge is probably one of the best-kept secrets on the Strip.
