History

The Vegas Bomb is a popular cocktail that originated in Las Vegas, Nevada. While its exact origin is unclear, it is believed to have first gained popularity in the early 2000s. The drink is commonly found in casinos and bars throughout Las Vegas, and is a favorite among high rollers. 

The drink is a unique combination of different alcohols and mixers, creating a vibrant and tasty drink that has become a staple in the Las Vegas nightlife scene. The name and composition of the Vegas Bomb cocktail probably comes from the Royal Flush Shot, which is a mix of all the same ingredients plus raspberry liqueur and cranberry juice, without the Red Bull. 

It is believed that a Vegas partier needed a boost in energy and his bartender used some creativity to make this fun party drink.
