Cheap Drinks & Happy Hours on the Strip

It’s not a well-kept secret that prices in Vegas, especially on the Strip, have been on an upward trajectory. A bottle of domestic beer at a casino bar can set you back upwards of $10… That’s what a 12-pack should cost!

Luckily, there are still places to grab a cheap beer or cocktail on, or within walking distance of the Strip.

Bear in mind that happy hour deals can change frequently and without notice. I’ll do my best to stay on top of changes, but I recommend clicking through to the linked menu where applicable to confirm the offer is current before making the trip!
