Lilly Bollinger, one of the producers of Bollinger Champagnes, once said, “I only drink Champagne when I'm happy, and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone.

We feel there’s no time when Champagne isn’t appropriate. So whether you’re celebrating, with friends or alone, try out one of these places to sup Champagne in Las Vegas.
