THIS PLACE IS DECEIVING
Yelp had great reviews and I expected more. What Yelp should have told you that it's just a slushy stand in MGM, but it's an amazing slushy stand in the MGM. They only have 8 chairs and plenty of alcoholic drink specials.
THIS IS NOT A BAR, JUST A PLACE TO GET DRINKS and then go somewhere else and PARTY.
GREAT DRINKS!
1. Almost no lines
2. $11 dollars for a half yard
3. Awesome flavors
4. Free samples for the indecisive
5. An extra shot for only a dollar
TIP#1: For The Flavor-Lovers
If you're the type who wants to get the drink to enjoy the flavor, get the Bellini (peach) or Eye Candy. They're super sweet and very reminiscent of jamba juice.
TIP#2: For the Alkies
If you want to get smashed or at least a little tipsy, get the High Octane or Hurricane with an extra shot to get the job done. Don't worry, it tastes a lot better the further down you get.
TIP#3: If You Get the Extra Shot...
...I advise that you lift it up a little and empty some out while mixing. If you don't, the alcohol (in my case it was 151) will all settle at the bottom and you won't want to go on any further.
TIP#4: For the SUPER Alkies, Such as Myself
Try it when it's hot in the day, they're amazing in the 101 degree heat...until the alcohol makes you all warm. Then go inside.
HAPPY MARGARITA CONSUMING!
A night out on the town is not complete until you go to Fat Tuesday!
Saw the reviews for this place and decided I had to see what all the 4 and 5 start fuss was about... and the review are correct, this place is awesome and makes strong ass drinks!
I was with 3 other of my girls and it was just around 1am, so it was a bit quieter than a club or bar, but we still had a great time. The Bachelorette was dressed up (complete with veil and sash) so the bartender threw in whip cream shots, jello shots, and made her lick whip cream everywhere! It was awesome, and great photos!
I got the Bellini, and it was bomb! I got a half yard ($11) of it, and an extra shot of rum on top... for only $1 more!!! My girl got a Screwdriver, which he used both vodka aaannnnddddd everclear in the mix of OJ.... she got fffuuuccccckkkkeeeeedddd up!
I'm very happy my friend Mel found this place and showed me the reviews! Score one for the Yelpers!!
These drinks will get you FUCCCCCKED up!!!
What better way to be in Vegas?!?
Honestly, how can you go wrong with this place.
Getting buzzed for less than $10, and getting "whoo hooo drunk" for less than $20---all by the powers of the jello shot and octaine drinks.
One of our favorite things to do is to stop by here before we get dressed, get toxi, walk back (to what seems like a 2 mile journey) through the shops, and then back to the hotel to transform ourselves into hot messes. *sigh* the joys of being somewhat young.
What I absolutely love about this place is that you can't taste the alcohol (or barely), but it's so strong. Dangerous! My only advice to you is if you plan on partying that night....either keep the buzz going through the night or do not start too early. Last time, we started a bit too early, napped, and couldn't get an "alcohol erection" if that makes any sense, regardless of how much we tried to drink. We were sober at Excess...not cool.
This is the ultimate mid-day or pre-game spot! I've never had a bad drink from Fat Tuesday. It has become a Las Vegas Staple for me. I prefer the Planet Hollywood and MGM locations. But, it's whatever, I'm not turning down a drink from any location. It will be the best $9 investment you make in Vegas, HANDDDSSS DOWNNNN!!!
I LOVE YOU FAT TUESDAY!
I didn't finish my drink because it was too much but it tasted good. The bartender? suggested I get a mix of mango with the hurricane and I liked that better. I also had a jello shot for a buck which was so damn strongg I ended up regretting it later or maybe I shouldn't have had everything else that followed... urg
Survey says "5 Stars across the boards".
This place was my first stop upon touching down to Sin City. It was frozen alcoholic heaven with about 8 strong drink concoctions going at once. I opted for the "big girl" drink, the 180 Octane with an extra shot. My boyfriend got the Cat. 5 Hurricane with an extra shot. There are several sizes to choose from a huge big glup-type container to a regular 16 oz cup size. We went for the in-betweener the tube-like drink container, which was more than enough to get to the almost drunk level.
If you are staying at the MGM, like we did, then make a quick pit stop to Fat Tuesday. It is located downstairs, just do down the elevator that is located to the right of the front lobby and follow the sweet sound of the frozen alcoholic machines.
Love fat tuesday! Great frozen drinks. Mix and match and they let you try them. I love the blue one. We got some jello shots and they were a little rubbery. Wouldnt get one of those again, but we went back the next day for more drinks with extra shots. Well worth it!
$11 for a hurricane almost half-yard? What a steal! Only $1 for an extra shot of 151? Please sir, can I have some more?
The bartenders were friendly. You get a good amount of alcohol for your money spent. I'm pretty sure my hurricane led to my memory loss Sunday night.
Sorry but Fat Tuesdays is not my favorite anymore...
To come into a Fat Tuesdays and see an unorganized line with a bunch of people paying for drinks that arent icy and slushy at ALL! And the fact is you guys charge us the regular price for it too, just sucked we said okay ordering one because we walked all the way from Mirage. We ordered the Mango one, and lets just say it wasnt that good. Maybe I just went on a bad day but the fact is they flavors are kind of like what you're in college and you mix whatever chaser you have with the nasty ass alcohol your friend brought over.
I'd rather get my drink at Rhumbar. Maybe I'll give you another chance, when I go back to Vegas.

Vegas = Tall margaritas
It's been a tradition ever since I first came to Vegas - Go to Fat Tuesday to grab one of these tall margaritas and walk the strip.
They have tons of yummy flavors (my fav is the strawberry) and you can even add extra shots on top if you really want to get the party started.
One of these days, I will have to get the yard long margaritas so I can take a picture with it.
Hell yes, how can they not have 4.5 stars??
The drinks come from a fucken machine?!
Hurricane with 151.
WE ALWAYS STOP HERE FIRST WHEN THE PLANE LANDS. some people find it really sweet. there are so many different flavors and they do let you try each one. save your cup and you get 3 dollars off. There is one located in MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood, The Stratosphere, and one more place..i cant remember!! surprise surprise. I get the 190 octane and the Hurricane mix. what i know is this. if you want to have a great buzz and have a cool drink in the hot sun visit my Friends at fat tuesday.. They will want to help you with that!!! BEWARE OF IMPOSTORS. IF IT DOESNT SAY FAT TUESDAYS WALK AWAY!
oh yeah and the guy who said he got his credit card stolen here... weird and i dont think it was fat tuesday that did that. maybe after he drank this, he forgot what he did with his card. IT HAPPENS
Forget all the other places with 1/2 yards and tall glasses. Go to FAT TUESDAY!!
I got a $1 off coupon from a friend and so I got a 1/2 yard of mango+rum for $11 (and a free bead necklace to go with it!). It was so delicious and fruity. Get the 190 Octane if you can handle more alcohol than most. Each shot is only an additional $1?!!! Tell me where else gives you such an offer.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that my face turned deep red after my drink. Yes, i'm asian, and this happens quite often, but it was different this time and my friends think I got an allergic reaction to something in there. I got a nice buzz though so who cares!!
You can't come to Vegas without walking around with a tall drink. You just can't.
When in Vegas, you gotta get a big ass margarita. Where at? Fat Tuesday, of course!
I went to Vegas to see Britney at the MGM Garden Arena (which was awesome!) and my friend and I had to stop at Fat Tuesday because well, we wanted to get hammered!! We both ended up getting the second longest tube for $11 each. The bartender said it was the best deal. Refills are only 8 bucks! I filled mine up with Strawberry Daiquiri and 190 Octane, which was probably the strongest tasting blended drink I have ever had in my life! An add shot for $1? Sure, why not?! By the time I was done with my drink, I was stumbling around the strip in my heels..
Drink your calories at Fat Tuesday!
Great place for a cheap drink. With the prices of all of the other places in Vegas charging so much for alcohol, this is a nice haven.
1 shot of Everclear? Why, thank you sir may I have another?
This got me decently buzzed.........I was buzzed enough to get down to the Paris and in my anger of crowds bumping into me and cussing at me.....I threw my left hand up, tucked my right arm in, kicked my right leg back and yelled out "HEISMAN!" I barged forward even though my girlfriend was yelling at me "BRIAN, STOP, DON'T!"
Seconds later I realized I had barged through a newlywed Husband and Wife and their entire entourage. I was informed by my girlfriend they were laughing about it but clearly the g/f was amused and embarassed at the same time.
Thank you Fat Tuesday, you have provided me with a priceless memory!

This is a place to go to to get shitty drunk for real cheap and real quick, I am all about it. I'm not really a fan of the huge ass yard-longs, but I somehow always end up getting one with the extra shot at the end. Fuzzy.
My first stop in Vegas. It's tradition, it's classic, it's a must-do! A sure way to get your buzz going, especially with the extra shot. Also great and conveniently shaped for carrying around and keeping you cool on a hot day.
But I can't help wondering what the landfills serving the strip look like. They must be poking out of the trash piles all over the place. Can't we get some recycling receptacles? Do they not have recycling in NV? Well if you remember to, you can keep your 'yard long' for next time, you even get a couple bucks off!
Vegas ain't Vegas until you've had a FAT-ASS margarita. Where to get drunk cheap and quick without the mile-long wait and the exorbitant prices?!
FAT TUESDAY!
Not only are the drinks strong and delish, the service was fan-freaking-tastic. I literally "sampled" every single margarita on the menu and the bartender kept it coming with suggestions and a smile. That's pretty awesome considering I was with 6 others doing the same =/
I finally settled on the popular yard long strawberry & mango margarita mix + 2 additional vodka shots.

Could be a Fat Wednesday.
Or Thursday.
Or Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
After downing their frozen margaritas, brain freeze sets in and you won't even know what day it is. THAT is just so PHAT.
you cant go wrong with 44 oz's of liquid gold hahaha. Mango is always a winner with 4 shot vials is a must. Price is alot better when you bring in your cup from a previous outing to the FT. Margaritas a sleepers and i love it
I'll just say that it was the BEST $14 I've spend for alcohol in Vegas. It's so worth it. This collection of frozen daiquiri goodness is a most have. The 44oz is the way to go and if you really need an extra boost, each extra shot of rum is only $1. I added two in mine. I really needed it. There is no sharing people!!! Since it's Vegas, you can walk around the strip carrying it all day... if it lasts you that long. Mine was gone in about 2 hours. It was really hot that day ; ).
There's about 8 different flavors and you can mix and match to create your own alcoholic slushy. My favorite is Mango, Bellini, and Strawberry. You're welcome to try samples before you have to choose your flavors.
Fat Tuesday is a most do while in Sin City. There are abour 3 different locations too so it's really easy to find.
Peach Bellini = weak sauce
Octane 191 = drunk as a skunk
Hurricane = skunk as a drunk
You have to go to Fat Tuesdays when you go to Vegas. That's all there is to it. Just take it easy on the drinks; they will creep up on you. Don't drink from 10 am - 5 pm and then spend the entire night praying to the porcelain god. Seriously. Not fun.
I love Fat Tuesdays!!!!!!!!! Dont forget to add at least 3 floaters!
This place is bangin' in bright decorations and an upbeat, party atmosphere.
The service is quick but helpful. It's usually at least semi-busy, and the staff is pouring out daiquiris like there's no tomorrow.
The prices are also really reasonable compared to most even-quality and even-convenience bars in Las Vegas.
I got a fruit-punch tasting slush drink with an extra shot in the one size below a yardstick. It was delicious, and with only a little bit of help, I managed to finish the whole thing. I wasn't falling all over my feet too much after, either, just slurring a lot.
I wanted to go back for more, but my ride with the deuce prevented me from enjoying it during travel.
I wish they had this place in California! I'd be all over it!
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite of all time....190 Octane with 4 shots of Everclear. I was beyond drunk with this one! I got so wasted that I ended up calling my poor husband (who was at home working back in the Bay Area) which I had a conversation with his BOSS before speaking with him. Next, I proceeded to throw up all over what was then the Aladdin. On our way back to my friend's mom's house I threw up in my friends souveniur bag.
Good times...love them drinks!!!!
I used to go to this place often when I lived in Miami, so when I saw it in Vegas it just brought back such sweet memories....although after Fat Tuesday, I tend not to have too many memories.
All I can say is, get the 190 octane. It tastes amazing, is the strongest, and if you want to get buzzed it's the best value for your money. If you're not too wussy, get the extra shot. Oh, and the bigger size the better. After all, you get to keep the glass so why not get a yard???
You won't go wrong with this place. If you want a tasty drink that will get you smashed, you've found your place!
A great place to kickstart your night. Head up to the bar, order a 190 octane (extra shot of everclear on top, of course) and for $10, you're good to ride.
It's a ritual in Vegas for me, I'd suggest you start doing it, too. Watch out for the bran freeze.
Fat Tuesday = Sharon passed out on a bench and a random guy photographing her
Yeah, that's basically what happened. I drank too much Fat Tuesday's yummy Peach blend (forgot the name) and I passed out on a bench. My friend told me when I woke up that she though some guy took a picture of me. Great, now there's a picture of me floating around on some dudes myspace or facebook.
I got the plexiglass for $11. Refills were $8. You can get an extra shot for $1. I was carrying that thing with me everywhere.
This was the best part of Vegas. I love Fat Tuesday.
I got the 190 octane with an extra shot. It tasted PHENOMENAL, and i could barely taste the liquor. I had already tossed back a couple shots doubting the true strength of this bad boy, thinking you are all pussies, but this put me and my buddies completely on our asses. We were doing backflips off of fire hydrants and having sword fights with our left over yard sticks which were then destroyed.
I went to the MGM one, and holy god, at the price you pay, i would have to agree it is the best bang for your buck in Vegas in terms of liquor. The bartender was super friendly as well. Holy shit, when you "unplug" that extra shot, be prepared to go to Shwastyville.
Easily my go-to spot now when I'm in Vegas and wanting to get belligerent.
i cant tell if this is the one inside miracle mile shops but that is the one we went to. basically slurpees with alcohol. they put 151 or grain alcohol in most of their concoctions. you can mix and match. you can also add shots for $1. and refills are a couple bucks less than what you got the drink for.
we got 2 $1 jello shots. and then 190 octane and hurricane. the 190 octane one is pretty good. the mango one is too. they have other lighter ones like peach bellini
I was told Fat Tuesday has the best slushy margaritas, and they were right! i didn't get the yard, but the sports bottle and that was quite enough! I recommend ordering extra shots, but of Grey Goose,,,service is fast and bartenders are friendly :)
The people who started Fat Tuesday must have made it their personal mission to get every last man and woman in Las Vegas absolutely and completely hammered. They got these places set up all over the strip, with their slushie machines all lined up churning out drunkenness by the yard in all different flavors at an affordable price. Then for a dollar more, they'll add a vial of Everclear just for good measure. They do offer refills for $8 for those who are still coherent or can still walk in a straight line after one.
If getting smashed is on your list of things to do in Vegas, you might as well put going to Fat Tuesday right up there with it. You'll be killing two birds with one stone, or one daiquiri, so to speak.
HOORRAAAHH! for FAT TUESDAY!!
Everytime I go to vegas, i must have a Fat-Tuesday.
Not only it's cheap, it's tastes good.
im a beer lover, but i drink fat-tuesday to get wild!
there was one time,at fat-tuesday, this drunk brought my friends and I an 100oz Fat-Tuesday. It was utterly amazing, it literally took us 5 hours to finish it and we shared it with 8ppl!
now that 100oz is our king's cup! haha
warning: brain freeze will occur!!
By far the cheapest drinks for the quanitity that I've seen in Vegas thus far! We ordered two of the super huge strawberry daquieries for only $11 each! I'd definitely recommend the $11 size because you get the most drink for your buck. The smaller insulated cups are $10 and you get much much less to drink.
I tried the strawberry daiqueries and the pina coladas and both are awesome! I saw a bunch of these types of places where similar sizes were $30-ish...so not worth it when you can come here. Plus, you can walk around the malls and streets with them and not get kicked out! And even bigger plus!!
(I'm reviewing the one for the Luxor...and not sure which one it is. I keep reading that Caesar's is more expensive).
I LOVE THIS PLACE!! It's easily accessible from the Luxor and right in the Mandalay Bay shopping mall...LOVES IT!
We always come here for our yardsticks! recommended
remember to keep your yardsticks after your done with them because its cheaper for a refill!
This is me coherent before going to fat tuesdays
"Hello!"
This is me after a drink and the extra shot.
"Sppljdhdoydfsf"
Fat Tuesdays is awesome. And not to bad of a way to get drunk and not spend and arm and leg.
I recommend it if you have the following criteria;
Someone lame is in your group.
You have to see a show you don't like
You have to do a time share
Or you realized gambling isn't all it cracked up to be and you need to strech the rest of the money you have.
You think Pina Coladas should be in the food group
Or you're looking for a good time
Tip Your Bartender! They are good to you!
Also don't drink crazy fast. Those frozen drinks are killer.
:)
It's 3pm. It's too early to start predrinking for a night of debauchery and crazy stories at Tao / XS, followed by finding yourself in the middle of the dessert clutching your wallet as you're somehow ____ with ____ while ___ did ____. Fill in the blanks, for 90% of you it's prob just go club and sleep, but Fat Tuesday can help make those blanks much more climatic and insane. Octane Mango w/1 shot Everclear. That's the combo. The workers are really nice there (tip them ahead of time) and they'll hook it up with sample after sample so you can find your right combo, and I got a free jello shot and an extra cup. Just be careful, these margaritas are creepers. Now have fun walking to the pool buzzed and ready to talk to strangers.
If you are walking the strip and it's hot, Fat Tuesday is strategically placed along the strip! I have found these 3, in the Mandalay Bay shops, in the Aladdin Passage, and the Stratosphere, I know there are others though. Grab one of the yummy treats and start walking, there is nothing better!
