They do frozen yes. Tracy has a Miami Vice, (half piña colada half strawberry margarita) I tend to stick to grand mariner on the rocks or black Russians, my record being 16 in one night. The room was spinning big time when I went to bed.
We tend to follow the CWs around trying to get ahead of them then sit down, bit like musical chairs.

I don't drink booze so will have to think of some fun soft alternatives - any suggestions?

Will they do the frozen cocktails in the casino waitress service do you think?

You can ask for "Virgin" anything really. Piña colada, daiquiri, margarita, all frozen to make them last

the missus has just wet herself when i told her about that one...

Not come across that drink before - is it available in the majority / all casinos, and is it well known with that name? (or do you sometimes have to explain what it is?)

I always liked her site when she was still maintaining it - her insights can be quite amusing.

Some places will not do frozen cocktails - Paris I know from a couple of times trying to order something frozen and being told they don't do them, at least not at the penny slots we've been sat at...but maybe it's changed.

Favorites for us are Bellagio - peach bellini and Bellagio cocktail. Wynn I've had a pineapple mojito a couple of times - first wasn't great, second was very good.

I'm not much of a drinker and I don't like to commit to staying in one place too long as I will just keep playing a machine while waiting and inevitably lose.

They do a smashing one at Bellagio, dressed with pinapple and strawberries as well. Yes it is well known.
Edit to ingredients. It is actually half pina colada half strawberry daiquiri

My first LV visit was in March and the cocktail service was an unknown to me too. Didn't do much gambling at all really but first night in the Bellagio spent about $10 and the waitress wandered past so I asked for a red wine - couldn't think of anything else! Five mins later was mooching aruond with a lovely big glass (real) of tasty vino.

What I didn't realise until I got to LV was that the waitresses don't literally come up to you (my experience anyway) and ask if you want a drink - you need to kind of catch their eye but not in an impolite manner. Was fun to get freebies but then we discovered $1 frozen margatrias and Michelob in Bills bar :beer:
