Standing 8 feet tall and containing 20 gallons of gin, the ice sculpture created by Ice Occasions went into the record books as the largest martini ever made in Las Vegas. Who better than our Merry Mayor of Mirth Oscar Goodman to top it off and enjoy the first drink?

The new drink is titled the Opportunitini as the promotion is to benefit our beloved Opportunity Village charity all summer long. The festivities were held at the Hard Rock Café, and the drink will be on its menu at $8 this summer, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to Opportunity Village.
