Oh, do we love our Irish whiskey! If you can't get to Dublin, J.C. Wooloughan's has brought a wee bit o' Ireland here. Smooth triple-distilled single malts, 32 of them, especially the beguiling 36-year old Knoppogue Irish whiskey ($50 a shot) rumored to have been distilled in secret for more than three decades, and Midleton, considered the finest in the world. Built in Dublin and reassembled here, this pub is so authentic you can quaff a pint sitting in the actual winner's circle from the Fairy House racetrack. The ponies are a strong theme here with a replica of Shergar, one of the world's most valuable racehorses stolen in 1983 and never seen again, atop the bar. Off the Strip, cab or limo here for drink, food, music and hospitality you'd find in any neighborhood pub in Eire. An outdoor summer beer garden complements the traditional nooks, crannies, and "snugs" inside. Ask the publican Declan McGettigan for a nip from his secret stash and tell him you heard it here. Cead Mile Failte! (a hundred thousand welcomes) J.C. Wooloughan's Irish Pub in the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa, 221 N. Rampart Blvd., (702) 869-7725.
