Free Poker Slot

What kinds of free drinks can I order while playing video poker in Vegas?

For example, can I order frozen drinks, like margueritas and daquiries, or just simple drinks, like a rum and coke? How "fancy" can my request be (like a pomegranite marguerita)? I'll be playing at a relativley inexpensive video poker machine (probably a quarter machine), but I'm certainly willing to tip a couple of bucks and I'm not picky about the quality of the liquor (house level is fine). I've never done this before and I don't want to be asking for anything unreasonable or look stupid!

1. you can order just about anything your heart desires. but remember you'll be limited by whatever the bar stocks. in the fancier hotels you may be able to order more complicated drinks (specialty liquors) as they simply stock more variety at the bar. but smaller hotels may have limited selection. it's not really an issue of whether or not they'll make it for you. it's more 'do they carry it or not'. the worse thing your server can say is they don't carry drink x. be flexible and tip generously. that way your server will be more inclined to come back and/or hurry with your drink. just remember you're not her only customer and she usually has a lot of ground to cover. also, in my experience slot players get the least amount of service. the servers have much more territory to cover when they're assigned to slots than the poker or other gaming tables. so don't be surprised if she takes awhile. also the bar may be very far from where you may be sitting. be friendly and ask questions. most servers will return in kind. i've come across very few unfriendly servers in my time here.
2. I am a bar manager at a casino in las vegas. As long as you play, at most casinos, you can order anything you want as long as it is not a double, and it is stocked at the bar. Most casinos do not have pomagranite margaritas as a regular drink, so most likely you wont be able to get that. If you tip $1-$2 per round, your waitress and/or bartender will make sure your drink is always full! ( I was a cocktail waitress for 8 years) Always ask for their brands of liquor you want to order so you can order the best! If you are staying downtown, the rules are different, no bottles of beer, and no top shelf liquors. I always like going to The Gold Coast and The Orleans, they seem to have the best bar employees!
3. I know that at the places I was at, I ordered Pina coladas and at the Flamingo the waitress even suggested I try a pina mixed with strawberry dacquiri and it was awesome, it tasted just like strawberry shortcake. I tipped like 3 bucks the first time she came by and she was always back asking if I would like anything before I was finished. I had quite the buzz on by the time I left there. I tipped a buck a drink after the 1st one....and no I wasn't staying there just gambling there. I just got home last night from Vegas.
