Social House Now Affordable with Daily 'Social Hour'

July 12, 2010 at 7:46 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

While we're happy that Social House is once again open on the Strip inside The Crystals, our wallets are not so happy about the restaurant's hefty prices with specialty rolls ranging from $10 to $20. However, there's a way around that.

From 5 to 7pm, Social House serves up $8 cocktails and specials and $4 domestic beer. Another way to go cheap at Social House? Bring a local with you as they get 20 percent off the bill Sundays-Thursdays so long as they show their Nevada ID.

Poor locals, they must always be getting strung along by visitors just for the deals. Treat 'em nice will ya?

Mermaids and Happy Hour at Mickkie Finz Fish House & Bar

Where: 425 Fremont Street [map], 89101
February 26, 2010 at 7:58 PM | by globetrotting gourmet | 0 Comments

Ever since Sharkeez in Santa Barbara decided to empty its behind-the-bar mermaid tanks for dubious health code reasons (don’t even go there), we’ve been kinda jonesing for a new mermaid bar fix. Maybe we’re letting our true colors of being a product of the 80’s show, after all we did think Daryl Hannah was something special back in 1984.

The good news is that we found mermaids – in the desert, no less – at Mickie Finz Fish House & Bar. The even better news is that Mickkie Finz has a great daily happy hour and some unbeatable dining deals.

Where: 3327 Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 2812 [map], 89109
February 19, 2010 at 3:44 PM | by globetrotting gourmet | 0 Comments

President Obama isn’t the boss of how your spend your college funds. In homage to Obama’s visit this week to Vegas and his opinion that people shouldn’t "blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college," First Food & Bar inside The Shoppes at the The Palazzo is hosting “Sammy D’s First College Fund Happy Hour” tonight (which we name-checked yesterday.)

The night hosted by Chef Sammy D will feature drink specials, including the O’bama Slammer. Other specials will run from 4 to 7 p.m., including Philly Cheesesteak Dumplings, Mini Burgers and Lollipop Wings, plus Dorm Room Mac ‘n’ Cheese and, of course, the college key to getting shitfaced fast - Jell-o shots.

A portion of the proceeds from the night will go to a local culinary charity.

You Can't Beat the $2 Beers at Triple 7's Happy Hour

Where: 200 N. Main St. [map], 89101
February 5, 2010 at 3:51 PM | by globetrotting gourmet | 0 Comments

We snicker at the Triple 7 Brewpubs’ gambling-inspired names for its microbrews – royal this, chip that, high roller this, jackpot that – but can’t scoff at its dirt cheap happy hour prices for its made-with-love microbrews and tasty pub grub. Here’s how far you can stretch your post-work buzz bucks at Main Street Casino Brewery Hotel's most redeeming venue:

Get Beer and Oysters on the Cheap at Seablue

Where: 3799 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], 89109
January 21, 2010 at 4:58 PM | by globetrotting gourmet | 2 Comments

Michael Mina may have expanded his Vegas empire with AMERICAN FISH, his new restaurant at Aria (which we sampled yesterday and could sum up in three words: oh. my. goodness) but he's still finding new ways to please at his other properties, like Seablue at MGM Grand.

Seablue has an incredibly affordable happy hour in the bar area from Sunday through Friday. Starting at 5:30pm and lasting through 7:30pm you can get $2 draft Stella Artois, $1 oysters and gulf shrimp from the raw bar, half price Lobster Corndogs ($7.50) and Salt And Pepper Calamari ($5).

It’s a fairly limited deal, but you want to gorge on beer and shellfish, it’s one of our favorite deals on the strip. Plus, who can resist the crusty, fried cornmealy goodness of Lobster Corndogs?

Unwind and Upload at Terrace Pointe Cafe's CES Happy Hour

Where: 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109
January 7, 2010 at 5:56 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Terrace Pointe Cafe at The Wynn made our list yesterday for places with free WiFi in Vegas so it makes perfect sense that the bar is doing a Happy Hour every day of CES.

From 3 to 6pm, beer and specialty cocktails like margaritas and sangrias are $7 while tapas range from $4 (guac and chips) to $10 (triple play angus beef sliders). Plus you can take out your laptops and not converse with anyone IRL because this time of the year, everyone's doing that!

Welcome to SushiSamba's Happy Hour: $5 Mojitos and $4 Aperitivos

Where: 3325 Las Vegas Blvd [map], 89109
January 5, 2010 at 1:30 PM | by juliab | 1 Comment

Food porn alert: we’re slightly obsessed with SushiSamba. We've eaten our way through the locations in New York, Miami and of course, here in Vegas at The Palazzo.

But we have to remind ourselves that the next time we pop in, to do it between the hours of 4 and 7pm, Sundays through Thursdays for Happy Hour. $5 mojitos. $5 caipirinhas. $4, $5 and $6 aperitivos, priced according to the hour you visit (so your salt and pepper squid costs a miniscule $4 if you get there first thing). Could it get any better?

Er, yes it could. From 11pm to 1am, they drop those cocktail prices down again. This could easily be our new obsession. Is rehab in our future for 2010? Quite possibly.

Every Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo at Tacos and Tequila

Where: 3900 S. Las Vegas Blvd. [map], 89119
September 23, 2009 at 5:07 PM | by globetrotting gourmet | 0 Comments

We have no problem pretending it’s Cinco de Mayo every Wednesday night. Heck, if the world was fueled with weekly doses of tequila and deep-fried tortillas, it would probably be a better place. Just saying.

So, we’re more than happy to play along with Mischeive Wednesdays at Tacos and Tequila in the Luxor.

Every Wednesday night from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. resident DJ Ernan will be spinning an eclectic mix of rock-n-roll, Latin and house beats, while bar-hoppers suck down drink specials like $5 house margaritas, $5 Hornitos shots and $5 Tecaté.

Get an Epicurean’s Buzz at Town Square’s The Grape

Where: 6599 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], 89119
August 20, 2009 at 12:22 PM | by Erika Pope | 0 Comments

Across from the mammoth movie theater at the south-south-Strip Town Square open-air shopping mall, you’ll find The Grape, one of Las Vegas’ most sophisticated and, dare we say, reliably good wine bars. Because we’ve found Town Square a confusing place to get around, look for the big Rave Motion Pictures sign on the west side of the building (towards I-15) and park there.

The Grape offers numerous great ways to sample its lengthy wine list, which is helpfully organized for the wine-wary into eight, easy-to-navigate categories. Numbers 1 through 6 take you from light-bodied, fruity whites all the way through to the full-bodied reds with “intense, berry taste.” Category 7 includes sweet wines while Number 8 features sparkling wines and champagne.

All wines by the glass are available in either tasting-size portions, ranging from $5 to $9 or full-pour glasses starting at $9 and going all the way up to $18. Cheeses, charcuterie small plates and desserts are featured on a concise but diverse menu, and prices there range from $6 to $25.

Happy hour is offered from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and features $5 glasses of wine and $2 sliders. On Thursdays, free wine tastings are held from 6 to 8 p.m.

Add Some Spice to Your Life at Origin India

Where: 4480 Paradise Rd. [map], 89169
August 14, 2009 at 5:07 PM | by globetrotting gourmet | 0 Comments

We have a steady roster of restaurants we like to frequent in Vegas, but have a shining new contender for the mix. Shuffle across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to experience the innovative Indian cuisine of Executive Chef Kuldeep Singh of Origin India Restaurant & Bar.

Singh graduated with top culinary honors at India’s finest – The Institute Of Hotel Management in his hometown of Meerut (about 40 miles northeast of New Delhi) and has kitchen-hopped everywhere from Ireland to London to India.

Singh doesn’t take your standard greasy gut bomb, all-you-can-eat Indian buffet approach to cuisine. Far from it, instead creating complex dishes that layer spices, herbs and flavors like filo-wrapped fresh Atlantic ‘black pearl’ sea scallops in lime and chili, crisp fried with beetroot and olive chutney and corn-fed chicken thigh tikka, marinated overnight in roasted cumin and chili yogurt served with coriander and basil sauce that reflect his world experiences.

Stay Cool and Save Money With These Five Happy Hours

July 30, 2009 at 6:56 PM | by globetrotting gourmet | 0 Comments

Hot summer weather tends to bring out our inner Betty Ford. Give us a cold beer or cocktail and a kicking air-conditioning system, and we can struggle through the way-too-hot season. That’s why we’re always on the prowl for decent Happy Hour deals to enable our stay cool and sedated efforts while saving money. (Don’t’ blame us – we can’t help but multi-task.)

Here are five happy hours that will help you get liquid locked and loaded and survive the summer heat:

Happy Hour at (An Almost) Hidden Gem, The West Wing Bar

Where: 3799 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], 89109
July 23, 2009 at 7:52 PM | by Erika Pope | 1 Comment

If you’re looking for a bar that’s chic but subdued, sophisticated yet welcoming and – most importantly – has a great happy hour deal, West Wing Bar at the MGM Grand is worth a visit.

Despite its somewhat unconventional location on the walkway for guests staying at the MGM’s West Wing, it’s won rave reviews by Yelp reviewers, among others. Meanwhile, it’s struck what seems to be the perfect balance between that all-important, aspirational air of exclusivity and actual everyman accessibility.
