The Vegas Bomb
Sweet, fizzy, caffeinated, and just reckless enough to make you shout “one more!”, this shot-dropper is trending again — surging on Google Trends and reappearing on bar menus from Fremont to the Strip.
The Vegas Bomb isn’t subtle: a shot glass of Crown Royal whisky, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice gets dropped — literally bombed — into a glass of Red Bull. The result? A rush of bubbles, energy, and bad ideas that taste surprisingly good.
It’s not just a drink. It’s an event.
Here’s where the Vegas Bomb is going off big right now in Vegas.

Atomic Liquors — Old Vegas, New Energy
Location: Fremont East, Downtown Las Vegas
Vegas’ oldest freestanding bar still throws the wildest party. Born during the Atomic Age, when locals watched nuclear tests from rooftops with cocktails in hand, Atomic Liquors now turns that same explosive energy toward the Vegas Bomb.
Pull up to the bar on a Friday night and you’ll see it happen in unison: five shot glasses dropped, five splashes, the whole bar cheering. The ritual fits the name — a literal atomic blast in a glass.
Vibe: Nostalgic, loud, full of locals and nightlife pros.
Tip: Go early; by midnight, you’ll need elbow room to drop your shot.

O’Sheas at The LINQ — The Strip’s Party Pit
Location: The LINQ Promenade, Center Strip
If Fremont is gritty fun, O’Sheas is chaos with glitter. This open-air Irish-style bar has beer pong, live DJs, and bartenders who practically dare you to order something messy.
The Vegas Bomb is a crowd favorite here — served with a grin and a “you ready for this?” from the bartender. The bar staff usually drops the shots in rhythm to whatever track is blasting. The scene is pure Strip theater: neon, cheers, and Red Bull flying.
Vibe: College-spring-break meets casino row.
Tip: Bring friends — the group shots come discounted, and your video will get views.

The Sand Dollar Lounge — Off-Strip Sophistication (Kinda)
Location: Spring Mountain Rd. & inside The Plaza Hotel**
The Sand Dollar is what happens when musicians and mixologists meet halfway between rock-n-roll and dive-bar soul. While known for craft cocktails, the bartenders still nod to Vegas’ fun side — and yes, they’ll serve you a Vegas Bomb, done with top-shelf whisky and chilled energy drink.
The crowd? Musicians, locals, late-night service industry folks.
The drop? Controlled chaos — a stylish version of a bad decision.
Vibe: Cool, dimly lit, musically alive.
Tip: Pair your bomb with live blues; it’s the most Vegas juxtaposition possible.
