After months of anticipation, the Barbie movie is almost here. Debuting on Friday, July 21, the Greta Gerwig movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is positioned to be a hot pink shiny plastic pop culture phenomenon. And Las Vegas is getting in on the action. Bars and restaurants are breaking out the pink edible glitter, bubbly rosé, and cotton candy for Barbie-centric brunch, parties, and pop-ups. Here are Las Vegas bars and restaurants that are celebrating the iconic girl on premiere weekend.
