"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 the 1970s, 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 (really, don’t skip the pizza) still draws in crowds. If you can visit during its elaborately themed takeovers around Halloween and Christmas, even better." - Janna Karel
"Travel off the Strip for a caffeine treat at the well-loved Las Vegas dive on Spring Mountain Road. For a dialed-up take on the usually vodka-forward recipe, two servings of espresso martini made with vanilla vodka, Mr. Black coffee liqueur, and espresso concentrate are poured into a full-sized pint glass. Come for the cocktail and stay for the live music that has rocked Las Vegas for nearly five decades." - Jennifer Smith
"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." - Jennifer Smith
"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
