5 starts no doubt about it!!! May I just say freaking FABOULOUS place!! Very convenient location too! $1 Jell-O shots are by far the best I have tried while my visit to Vegas, just had to have them everytime we passed by and that was basically all the time we were there since our hotel was right inside the mall a few steps away from it! Staff was just fab! Love it and cant wait to go back to pay them a visit!
Review Source:What's a Vegas trip without a classic Fat Tuesday.. right?!
My friend actually had a leftover cup from the day before so I just rinsed it out and got a refill for $14 (highly recommend saving the cups). According to my group the only flavor worth getting is the Strawberry-Mango and I can vouch that it was pretty delicious!
The girl at the counter confused me and asked if I wanted an extra shot after she had already decided she was going to put one in.. so I ended up with two extra shots of 151 in my Fat Tuesday. Don't wait til the end to release them!!! The capsules aren't only really hard to pull out but your drink will be ruined if you wait...
It's fun carrying it around and getting a buzz while walking the strip, definitely check it out!
I'm 22 and have been to vegas about 30 times. I have NOT tried the typical fat tuesdays yard. So we finally did. When it was our turn in front of the line, I asked if we could mix flavors. The guy said no. I was SO high that I believed him. He said he was joking. WELL VERRRRY FUNNY lol. I mixed the strawberry and the coconut. Delish. I also got the extra shot for $1. The hubs got the fatter yard, altogether it was almost $40. Refills are $10 I think. There's a guy/bouncer who's job is to check id's before you place your order. Try asking for a lid. We didn't.... but we realized that any sized lid cap will do. I mean, not small or large... but, you know, the regular sized lid cap.
Review Source:There are several Fat Tuesday locations on the Strip, however my review is on the MGM Grand Fat Tuesday's in particular :) ... which I obviously love! In relation to their self parking garage, as soon as you enter the hotel through the Underground, Fat Tuesday's is there to greet you before heading up to the main hotel lobby and casino floor. They just expanded the bar area so there is more seating room on both sides of the cashiers. You can't go wrong with their drinks. Whether you've heard of their enormous yard size cups and made a mission to try one of those, or if you're just looking for cheap & delicious shots to start your night, they have them both. In previous visits, I would always just get a $1 Jello shot and maybe a mix drink. The jello shots aren't that strong (in my opinion) but for only a dollar, you still can't beat the price. The bartenders are good with suggesting which flavors are the best depending on the type of  taste you're looking for, and you can add an extra shot (or 2) to your mix drink as well. I recently discovered their $1 mother puckers, which is basically Everclear in a long, skinny, tube-like glass. Ha! What I like though, besides the ridiculous low price, is that instead of just offering either a lemon or lime to chase it with, you can get a small sample of one of their flavored slushes to use as a chaser as well. Definitely a must do during your Vegas stay and for locals as well. If this location doesn't work for you, there are other locations at Planet Hollywood, Mandalay Bay, Caesars Palace, and Stratosphere. Drink up and enjoy!
Review Source:Fat Tuesday is located in Planet Hollywood and you will know you are around when you see people carrying these colorful tall slender cups filled with alcoholic drink/smoothie. I am not a huge fan of alcohol so I was hoping that these fruity drinks would taste more fruity than usual. Nope you will still taste the alcohol so it sucked on my part. My friends loved it though because it was super fruity and it them buzzed. My friend and I split the strawberry daiquiri and she ended up drinking most of it. If I liked alcohol, then I would loveeee this place.
My friend and I also wanted to get jello shots because never had any and it seemed like Vegas would be the best place to pop our jello shot cherry haha. They are a dollar each and have whip cream on top. We also hoped that the jello shots wouldnt taste like alcohol but would go right through us, but we were wrong. The shot was pretty big and it took two gulps to finish. I didnt know such a jello shot could have that much alcohol and be that strong. The whip cream isnt necessary so I wouldnt get it.
**TIPS**
1) Get the tall skinny cup. They are always so fun to slirp.
2) Save your cup for the rest of your trip because it makes refills $4 cheaper!
3) Enjoy!
For my last Vegas trip (two weeks ago), I got into town really early. Like at 8am haha. I was sad that Fat Tuesday doesn't open until 10am. So I decided to get other drinks before it and waited for 10am to come so I can get a Fat Tuesday. I'm a small girl and usually only get the yard size with an extra shot for $14. Super cheap :). Yum yum yum! My favorite favor is the blue one! I can't remember the name right now but it's so good! Highly recommended! If you are not sure what flavors to get, ask them for some samples :). I love the superman combination!! The hurricane flavor is also good too!
I usually get about two fat Tuesdays a day because it's so good and I love just being able to walk the strip and drinking it.
This is the number one place you must go to before you leave Vegas! For anyone that leaves Vegas without trying a Fat Tuesday, OMG.. You're really lame! :)
Oh also! My favorite location is inside planet Hollywood. :)
Now! Go to Vegas and buy one! :)
There are several Fat Tuesday's locations on the strip, I always try to map out the closest for "emergency margarita situations." Just in case
.
I really only drink when I am in Vegas, so when I am there, I want a good, fun drink that will give me a decent buzz. Fat Tuesday's does the trick!
I usually order the 20oz (I am a lightweight) with an extra shot. I love the high octane, although the bar tender talked me into the fruit punch last time and it was pretty good.
Fun, affordable, and tasty. You CAN'T go wrong.
Saying I love this place is an understatement. Their slushies are ridiculously alcoholic in the best way possible. I get one of these a day during every Vegas trip!
Get the Big Stick mix (it tastes JUST like you remember it when you were in elementary school...plus booze) and make sure to get an extra shot or two or four. And save your yardstick for a little discount when you're back in town!
I always have an adventure when I am drinking during the day-time (refer to: mimosas and BTC)
Fat Tuesdays-- I never asked the bartenders why the bar is called Fat Tuesdays.. so I googled it!
Apparently Fat Tuesdays is English for Mardi-Gras, which is a total party-go-hardy event in New Orleans before Ash Wednesday. Anyway it is basically a huge pipe, funnel shaped bottle of margaritas. There are a variety of flavors which you can mix. My favorite was Pina-Colada mixed with Peach Bellini (some champagne). I had a 32 oz. And I don't like my drinks getting water-y or holding onto a drink. My friends and I finished ours pretty fast. After you drink it you feel fine, but this shizz doesn't hit you until later. When I was getting ready to go out. It took me like 30 minutes to draw on my eyebrows--not cute at all. I was struggling like no other! Delicious but deadly, drink with caution. But you are in Vegas--Do as you please!
If you are a fan of Fat Tuesday like me not only do you get the yard but you defintely keep them from every city you visit for the REFILLS!!! I like the strawberry mango margarita mix, the OCTANE for my partying times and the regular margarita. Next time I go i might try something new!!!
EITHER WAY it does the body right!! Next thing you know you are smiling, walking around the Strip or even the Mall with your drink in your hand enjoying Viva Las Vegas. I love it. And since I only go to vegas in the summers it almost seems even more sinful to Not stop at a Fat Tuesday.
Came here with three others around midnight on Friday after watching Blue Man Group. The bartender/server was really friendly and gave us tips on mixing the flavors and let us all try everything without getting impatient. We decided on getting the Mangoberry (Mango + Strawberry) in the giant literally yard-long cup in the back. It was $36 full, $25 for refills - 100 oz!
Super tasty; shared between the four of us we could barely taste/feel the booze, so probably next time we'd add a couple extra shots. Heads up that it's super inconvenient to carry, but entertaining at the same time :)
Location
On the ground floor, called "The Underground", of the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. Â It's kind of secluded unless you know to go downstairs or you're walking to the parking garage. Â Other than a generic Las Vegas-themed gift shop and some of other knick-knack stores, there's nothing else downstairs (in my opinion).
Atmosphere
It's a walk-up bar. Â No atmosphere to behold. Â It's a little dark in The Underground. Â There are stools to sit down in if you don't want to take your drink to go.
Service
It's a walk-up bar, so service is very quick.
Food/Drink
Food is N/A. Â But, the drinks are the bomb! Â Whenever I go to Las Vegas, the FIRST thing I do is go to Fat Tuesday, preferably the one in The Underground at MGM, and order a Octane 190 yardstick frozen margarita with an extra shot. Â This drink definitely starts the trip off on a great note!
I went here expecting the same drinks that they have in the BIG EASY ....NOT! I guess if you are already hammered everything taste good to you. I was disappointed. I ask if they could make the famous SOLIDER SLIM Â that is a hit in New Orleans the guy was like"what's that"?? Really are you kidding me?? Â I explained that it is
1. Jungle Juice
2. Octane 190
3. Â hipnotic
Oh Yeah that will set you up for the night. They were like we are better but they failed to come up with something thing that would shake me up for the night, so I just walked into the MGM and order a couple of Rounds of Grey goose with sprit on the side and that did it for me.
You guys should spice of your drinks a little, a little change is always good!!!
Man why can't we have one in SoCal!!!!
Â
  Ok if we did I'd be a hardcore alcoholic. Yes I could make slushy alchi drinks myself BUT im lazy and I wouldn't make them as good :p
 I went to this spot about 6 times I think LOL. Dean (I think that was his name) was the nicest bartender we had. He had personality plus! I just love the different combos of drinks you can do and only a DOLLAR for a SHOT!!!! SCOOOOOOORE!
I wish they had this in Cali!
Great way to start off our epic 24 hour Vegas trip. After being in the car for over 3 hours, it was a no brainer but to go for the Yard Dog! In the past, I've always ordered the 190 Octane, but after tasting my friend's delicious concoction of Bellini & Strawberry, I decided to change it up. So delicious and refreshing. We added the extra shot because honestly, for just an extra $1, why wouldn't you?!
The bartender "P-Nut" was awesome and "Mrs. Nice Guy" was hilarious.
Daiquiris. Â Yah. Â Uhh...
I don't think you could really go wrong here if you want your girly drink. Â I mean, I suppose you could go completely crazy and ask for four shots of 151 and get completely schnockered out of your mind, but who would want to do that???
At $9 a cup and upwards for bigger sizes, with $1 an extra shot, it's actually a pretty quick way to get completely hammered and have a raging brain freeze.
Disappointed here? Â well, I was actually hoping to be at the Fat Tuesday "bar" instead of this place when I heard about it. Â But heck... make do with what ya got, eh?
fat FREAKING tuesday. YUP one of the places that Vegas is known for. Perfect place for day drinking.
It's so goooood you won't even know you're getting buzzed off it until you finish the whole thing! It's addicting. It's like going to 7-11 and getting an awesome slurpee with 10x more flavors to choose from. There are so many uniquely shaped cups to choose from! Share with your friends because it is so humungo! Even if you're getting drunk off Fat Tuesdays, at least you're doing it in a cool matter. Vegas is so HOT this drink is a perfect refreshment!
Pina Colada is always my fave drink to get! My friend mixed that with I think Strawberry? and it tasted like Strawberry Jelly! really good!
I wish I could go back and try ALL their flavors! Just a tip: If you save the cup you save on the drink! So REUSE!
SAVE THOSE FAT TUESDAY CUPS FROM YOUR PREVIOUS VISITS! You can save yourself a few bucks!
ah... samples. You are allow to try before getting it, aw yeah! Looking for the strongest one of all? 190 Octane ! You don't even need to add another shot into it and it will get you happy throughout the day! If you can hang, go ahead and add an extra shot. Don't say I didn't warn you the next morning. :)
There's $1 dollar jello shots, $1 dollar jello shots... man, no wonder this line is long! It is a must to get a Fat Tuesday during the summer, so I hope you are holding onto the cup right now, because there is no stopping you all in Vegas!
I'm not against drinking in the morning, in fact, I prefer it, BUT I am just okay with Fat Tuesday. You would think I have great relationships with this institution since they stand for everything I want but sadly no.
The taste and price is pretty good for what you get, especially considering you can buy shots and just make your slushee even more potent. I had a half yard with and a couple shots but MAN walking around the strip in 100+weather, plus no water but sugary slushee alcohol is NOT smart. In fact, I was probably drinking a yard and a half when around 4pm I was REALLY dizzy and just so sick from dehydration. It's a good idea and I think something everyone should definitely try at least once, but it gets old.
Tip: Drink lots of water with this stuff.
What's a Vegas trip without a visit to Fat Tuesdays??? Â This location used to be slightly cheaper than the other location in Planet Hollywood, but this isn't the case anymore. O well....
Of course, they are known for those huge slushy drinks. They're fruity and delicious. I especially like the Bellini and the Magnum. I also liked the Amaretto....but it seems like they've gotten rid of that that one. Add a shot of everclear or 151 and these drinks can be pretty dangerous (but in a good way!). Â Hang on to your cups so you can get a discount on your drink next time!
Don't forget to try out the jello shots too. They're pretty good, really cheap, and huge! They're a steal!
This place is tucked away by the Cheesecake factory in the Forum shops. It's a bit of a walk to get there, but it's worth it. The service is always really friendly, and they always offer sample to the indecisive folks. Keep a look out for the $1 off coupons. They're pretty easy to come by :)
Always my first stop when i land in Vegas.
I like soury sweet drinks, so I always get an Amaretto and Pineapple with an extra shot of 151. That extra shot of 151 and trust me, you'll be good for most of the day. Dont forget to save your cups, refills are discounted when you bring them!
Okay..I can't seem to find the one that's located in Imperial Palace..so I'll settle for this.
An adult slushy..that's actually quite strong..if gotten that one.
I think it's called the Hurricane that has shots of 151..and it was delicious!!
I got the mango and strawberry ones mixed together. Quite good! I'm not a fan of mango..but it was pretty sweet and fruity.
You're allowed one sample per person.
Bring back your cup and you get I think $5 off your next Fat Tuesday!
And it's generally CHEAP!
You can't go to Vegas & not pass by Fat Tuesday!
As I was walking throughout Caesars Palace I knew I had to pass by this spot & get a refill. They let you try a flavor, I believe, so it's good to go with friends if you are hesitant about ordering a certain flavor.
The staff is very friendly.
What stood out to me about this location was that they offered cherries that had been drenched in Everclear for about $1 or so.
I ended up ordering a mix of the Bellini, Pina Colada, & Mango to fill up my Yard Stick for $10. I also had an extra shot of Everclear for $1.
When I go back to Vegas I will definitely go to Fat Tuesday, wherever that may be!
Whenever I am in Vegas it just seems natural to be carrying around a Yard full of frozen margaritas, especially on those hot summer days and nights! Â There are a lot of Fat Tuesdays around the strip, and this one is located in the MGM Grand. Â The prices are great, at $18 for a Yard Dog and $13 refills. Â (Compare that to the bar upstairs in the same casino where they charge $23 for the same size!)
Feel free to sample the different types, but one of their newest and strongest is the 190 Octane, which is awesome. Â Spend a buck for an extra shot of tequila, which is well worth it, and this one drink will seriously kick start your morning! Â
To find this one, once you are inside the casino head towards the lobby. Â Follow the signs to the self parking where you go down an escalator and then you will find Fat Tuesdays on the right hand side. Â It is very easy to get to, so do yourself, and your Vegas vacation, a favor and stop by!
This is where I bought my cup many moons ago. Why'd they tell me that "yah only Caesars Palace sells that cup" Â WHATEVER. Mind you in the meantime I've created my own top with a large top from Mickey D's and some tape!
Fill me up.... 44Magnum (190 octane and Hurricane) w/2shots of Everclear.
I'm no longer bummed that I never made it to CP to get that top. Next trip....
These frozen concoctions are delicious and horrendously deceiving. Don't underestimate the power of a Fat Tuesday.
If one "skinny" cocktail can average 150 calories, and the average fruity cocktail is around 250 calories, think about the caloric content in a YARD STICK. Yes, Fat Tuesday lives up to its name.
I fave mixing the strawberry daiquiri and pina colada together.
Fat Tuesday is a must for any and every Vegas visit. Â I usually go with a combination of the Cat5 hurricane, 190 octane, and the mango. Â There are many favors and the staff is friendly enough to let you try out some samples. So don't be shy! Â I'd say go with the extra shot for $1 to get a little more buzz out of your drink.
Notes: In the past, I've gotten free shots for my birthday, but this location didn't offer that. Oh well. It's still a winner.
After three trips to Vegas, I finally had my first Fat Tuesday, and it was the stupidest thing I've done in years.
I got what was called a 44 Magnum -- which is a blend of the 190 Octane (their most popular flavor... a sick blend of grain alcohol with their famous orange punch) and the Hurricane (which has 151 and other random punches).
I asked for a monster yard (pretty much what all the guys in my group had... I don't know how many ounces but they said they were gone after finishing them), and instead the cashier gave me a size that was like two thirds of my height (I stand at 5'4").
I didn't stop him because I don't usually do that. Â And hell, it's Vegas.
And then my friends bought five extra shots ($1 each) of Everclear Vodka and dropped it in there. Â It's funny because they pour the shots in vials and just drop them into the container, so it sinks to the bottom... causing the top and bottom to be especially strong of alcohol.
Bill rung up $45.
We walked from Caesars Palace to the MGM Grand, and I was already dragging the container a little less than half of the way there.
To put it plainly, "I was fucked up." Â A lot of feelings and emotions were happening. Â I was happy and energetic, and then I started hating life.
But not only did I not yack, I still made it to the club later that night.
Fuck the haters. Â Minus one star because the server gave me the wrong size.
(+) mix piña colada, mango, and amaretto + pineapple together if you enjoy piña coladas like me :D
(+) you are not limited to just ONE extra shot, you can ask for multiple extra shots (it's $1 per extra shot)
(+) you can sample different flavors and/or mixtures before ordering your drink
(+) refill price is cheaper when you bring your fat tuesday cup with you!
(+) can vary between fruity slushies to ones w/ a kick
(-) can't see the menu/flavors until you're near the cash register
I'm curious as to why it's called Fat Tuesday aha
The line can be ridiculous and the headache from all that sugar is not fun BUT when in Vegas, it's a must! Many sizes to chose from, a good selection of drinks, and extra shots are only $1. Jello shots topped with whipped cream are only a $1 too and they are a pretty nice size. Make sure to save your yard or cup because the refill is about $4 cheaper. You want the most bang for your buck? Go with the 190 Octane...beware, you might be crawling on the strip later.
There are various location on the strip, I've been to the Miracle Mile and Imperial Palace. The Miracle Mile one is big and the line moves fast. Happy drinking!
How can you go to Vegas and NOT have one of these delicious Fat Tuesday margaritas? Â These drinks are freakin tasty...just imagine a high quality icee with alcohol..that makes you buzzed. Â Prices aren't bad at all for. what you get. Â You can even add one extra shot of alcohol for only $1! Â
Fat Tuesdays=Must when in Vegas
If you get your ass all the way to Vegas and DON'T get at least one Fat Tuesday, you're a fool.
Being the alcoholic that I am, one of the best parts of Vegas for me is the open container rule. I can do everything I usually do on vacation, but drunk! And I don't even have to be sneaky about it! This slushy-from-heaven is, in my humble opinion, the best way to achieve inebriated nirvana whilst doing whatever you do in Sin City.
I must recommend the "Pimp Juice" flavor (Hurricane and...Strawberry?), with the extra shot of course. I asked the very nice lady how many shots the yard was equivalent to and she said 6.5 (including the extra shot). For $11 (if you already have the cup and are just refilling). Cheaptastic.
Fat Tuesday, never change, I love you just the way you are.
