The Sand Dollar Lounge

"Since the ‘70s, the Sand Dollar has been hosting local bands on its stage — as well as appearances from the likes of Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Mick Jagger. An appearance on Bar Rescue and a short closure in the early 2000s threatened the bar’s legacy — but it couldn’t stay down. Today the expansive bar still pours classic cocktails and some signature music-themed ones. There’s live music most nights. And the pizza — don’t skip out on the pizza. If you can visit during its elaborately themed takeovers around Halloween and Christmas, even better." - Janna Karel

"Miracle on Spring Mountain is back with a stacked holiday cocktail list served in custom glassware. After 10 years in Las Vegas, spirited specialties both old and new will take over the bar at the Sand Dollar. Join other holiday enjoyers to delight in new cocktails like the brandy-based Crooked Antler and Stocking Stuffer made with bourbon, Pedro Ximénez sherry, and rich mix-ins like iced “hot” chocolate. The regular lineup including classics like Christmapolitan will also make its comeback." - Jen Avison Smith

"Rocking since 1976, this iconic blues bar has seen Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Mick Jagger hop on its tiny stage for impromptu appearances. On the daily now, it’s booze, blues, and really good pizza. A reliable hang for Vegas industry worked, pop in for late-night tunes, a slice for Free Bird Pizza and a Redemption Song cocktail." - Ryan Slattery

"Since 1976, the Sand Dollar Lounge has been one of the most iconic bars in town. It got its start as an industry bar — located just off-Strip and open late for hospitality professionals just clocking out. And in the years since, it has made a name for itself for its killer cocktail menu, packed roster of live music, and — in recent years — as the site of really good pizza." - Janna Karel

"Hidden away on the west side of the Strip is The Sand Dollar Lounge, which is one of our favorite spots to unwind at after a long day of work meetings. There are pool tables, shuffleboard, and occasional live music, along with surprisingly good pizza. Their whiskey selection and cocktail menu are great, but it’s a lot of fun to make your way through the shot and beer combos named after cities, like the Chicago (Jameson and a Miller High Life) and the Austin (Cimarrón Blanco and a Shiner Bock)" - milena difiore
