Head to Sin City’s newest and most luxurious casino, the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, for some prime cocktails, including our latest pick for Cocktail of the Week: The Stranger: This split spirit pisco sour style with ube is loosely based on Albert Camus’ “The Stranger” — an artistic sleight of hand that would make the complexities of a man’s life appear simple. The “simplicity” of the text is merely apparent and everywhere paradoxical. And that is conveyed in this lovely libation, whose base is gin. [As a side bar, Bleau Bar, the gorgeous focal point of the Fontainebleau Las Vegas — one of its 36 F&B concepts — is a great place to meet strangers. So consider this the best kind of double entendre.]

HOW TO MAKE THE STRANGER AT HOME
