Best of Las Vegas tip: Cocktail?

Cocktail waitresses are perhaps the next best thing to lounge singers when it comes to Classic Vegas. So even if it feels a little creepy, our 2011 Best of Las Vegas readers' poll asks: Who's at the top of the heap with the hired help?

If you've ever waited out that $40 bottle of beer as the blackjack gods turned their backs on you, we'll count you as a slave to cocktail waitresses everywhere. They bring the free drinks while you play the night away. We hope you're not stingy with those tips.

Whether it's the outfits, the service or just the booze talking, Red Rock Resort got a big thumbs-up from our readers. The waitresses must be doing something right, because they knocked the Rio's servers right off of their high heels after a five-year streak in this category.

Our editors' choice in this category was the Playboy Club.
