"Since 1976 it has been one of the town’s most iconic bars, getting its start as an industry hangout just off the Strip that stayed open late for hospitality professionals. Over the years it has built a reputation for a killer cocktail menu, a packed roster of live music, and — more recently — for really good pizza. The Sand Dollar also turns into a destination for over-the-top holiday takeovers, notably Nightmare on Spring Mountain at Halloween and Miracle on Spring Mountain in December, with ludicrous decorations, themed cocktails poured in novelty dishware, and specialty kitchen takeovers, parties, and entertainment." - Janna Karel
