The Original Margarita Festival Is Coming Up At The Cosmopolitan

Continuing the tradition of celebrating Mexican Independence Day, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas hosts a series of cultural events including The Original Margarita Festival at Boulevard Pool, the patriotic “Grito Mexicano” at The Chandelier, Mariachi El Bronx at Book & Stage and roaming mariachi bands throughout the resort.

On Monday, Sept. 15, spend a night mixing and mingling amidst Mariachi serenades while enjoying unlimited margarita tastings at The Cosmopolitan’s inaugural Original Margarita Festival from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., showcasing Las Vegas’ most celebrated mixologists and their own signature Margarita recipe, including award-winning venues such as Vesper Bar, Velveteen Rabbit, Herbs and Rye and more. The competition gets even more interesting when the top three mixologists are handed secret ingredients that must be incorporated into their beverages.  At the end of the event, these specially-curated concoctions will be judged by Las Vegas influencers and experts who will name a winner and award them with an educational trip to Tequila, Mexico. Guests attending the event will also be able to vote for their favorite mixology creation helping judges determine the finalists. Additionally, guests will enjoy Mexican-inspired culinary offerings for purchase. A portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to the Las Vegas chapter of the United States Bartenders Guild.

Tickets for the Margarita Festival are $40 and on sale now. Each ticket includes entry from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and unlimited margarita tastings. Tickets are available at www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or through Ticketmaster at 800.745.3000.

Also happening at the resort, the high-energy group formed by eight mariachi performers and six folkloric dancers will roam each day from Friday, Sept. 12 through Monday, Sept. 15, until the midnight hour, entertaining guests and commencing the festivities.

Starting at 10:30 p.m. each night also from Friday, Sept. 12 through Monday, Sept. 15, Mariachi El Bronx, the alter ego of acclaimed punk outfit The Bronx, will perform live at Book & Stage.

To culminate the celebration, The Cosmopolitan will ring in the official Grito Mexicano – a cry of patriotism – through a ceremonial ringing of the bell at midnight on Monday, Sept. 15, set to a Mexican flag backdrop on stage at The Chandelier. As guests raise their glasses, Mariachis and dancers will surround The Chandelier and take the stage for an official performance to ensure the festivities continue with enthusiastic merriment.
