Daniel Parlin (He/Him)

Bartender at Sphere Entertainment Co.

I’m a Boston native and veteran of the Vegas nightlife and craft cocktail scene, but consider myself to be a bartender’s bartender. I’ve participated in several regional and national competitions, but my proudest hallmark was being nominated Best Bartender in Las Vegas 3 years in a row by Seven magazine, and winning People’s Choice.

I’ve been blessed be part of some of the finest cocktail programs Vegas has ever had to offer, as well as taking a turn as the Brand Ambassador for Stolichnaya and a member of the mixology and events team at Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits. These days I’m thrilled to be back in nightlife at WAS and The MSG Sphere.
