This attraction is located in the Showcase Mall,
just north of the MGM Grand on the Strip. You can't miss the place because it is fronted
by a three story bottle of coke. There are interactive displays, live events and
attractions and over fifty varieties of coke from which to sample.
After paying your $2 admission, you enter an
elevator that is housed inside the coke bottle that faces the Strip. As the
elevator rises, you hear the sounds of a coke being opened and poured. It's perky
sibilance makes you feel like a bubble rising in the bottle too. You're greeted on the
third floor by an old-style barker who points out the attractions. There are displays,
interactive exhibits manned by live performers, video clips of old commercials and other
attractions. As you take the self guided tour through the events, you will learn
everything you ever wanted to know about coke, except the sacred secret formula.
Stations are manned by live performers who give
you some coke insight. There's even a soda jerk who teaches you how to mix a perfect coke
and gives you a free souvenir soda jerk's hat. Eventually you'll make your way to the
tasting room where over fifty versions of coke can be sampled. There's orange soda, ginger
beer, apple soda, etc., in addition to strange international concoctions.
Your last stop is the gift shop where you can Coca
Cola clothing and merchandise. It's a great distraction and is definitely worth the $2.
