October 12, 2026Bartender steals the show!
Bartender Danny did an excellent job preparing for our event and providing exactly the service that we had asked for. He curated a one off cocktail menu exactly as I had requested. He showed up early prepared thoroughly and was very engaging with our guests. Good job, Danny.

December 25, 2024Great choice
Dan was awesome. Showed up on time. Brought lots of his own gear, ice, napkins, mixers, etc… just in case it was needed. Made sure everyone was happy. Stayed later than expected. Super nice gentleman. We will ask him to help us again in the future.

March 27, 2024Vegas Shakers For The Win
Our catering company teams up with Danny and Vegas Shakers for small and medium-size events and always receives compliments on how fast, professional, and fun they are. Cocktail batching and customized menus create liquid memories that clients appreciate. I can’t imagine using any other bartenders for special events. If you need a bartending service for your special occasion, the clear choice is Vegas Shakers.

March 14, 2024Exceptional, professional services
I consider myself to be a seasoned event planner, and was lucky enough to be introduced to Daniel Parlin bartending aka Vegas Shakers some years back. The relationship has blossomed into an absolute win-win scenario. Daniel’s attention to detail and a bubbling personality assures he is offered plenty of private work via word-of-mouth. I offer this rave review with the understanding that he continues makes himself available to my clients.

About
A Boston native with deep roots in the Las Vegas nightlife and craft cocktail scene, I consider myself a true bartender’s bartender. Over the years, I’ve competed in both regional and national competitions, but one of my proudest achievements was being nominated Best Bartender in Las Vegas three years in a row by Vegas Seven magazine—taking home the coveted People’s Choice award.
I’ve had the privilege of contributing to some of Las Vegas’ most iconic cocktail programs, while also serving as Brand Ambassador for Stolichnaya and as a member of the mixology and events team at Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. Today, I’m excited to bring that same passion and energy back to nightlife, shaking things up at We All Scream, The MSG Sphere, and special events across the city.
Additional booking notes
Contact me for specifics. In most cases a simple contract is required. Liquor liability insurance up to $1M available for corporate bookings. Coverage is secured when you're booked, the cost is built into your proposal, and your certificate is delivered upon deposit.

Influences and inspiration
My approach behind the bar is influenced by a mix of classic cocktail traditions, modern mixology, and a love of hospitality. I draw inspiration from mentors I’ve worked with, competitions I’ve competed in, and the creativity of chefs and bartenders I admire. Local culture and guest preferences also shape my style, pushing me to constantly evolve while keeping the balance between artistry, flavor, and genuine connection.
Setup requirements
To provide bartending services, I'll need a functional bar area with a back bar, a receptacle for service ice, a dump sink (or similar), and a trash bin. If these items aren't available, I can supply the necessary equipment. Please reach out to discuss se
