Where to Find a Cheap Shrimp Cocktail in Vegas - $2!
Cheap shrimp cocktails have been part of the Las Vegas experience for decades.
Unfortunately, affordable options have slowly faded, leaving us with few choices.
With that in mind, I've tracked down every relevant inexpensive option, and you'll be happy to know options exist both on the Strip & Fremont Street.
On Fremont Street
Lanai Express at Fremont
Lanai Express serves a wide range of Asian and American fare, making it quite the jack-of-all-trades.
Among their most popular items is a $3.99 shrimp cocktail.
Lanai's shrimp cocktail was what one would expect at the price point... Tiny shrimp in what I deemed an overwhelming bath of cocktail sauce.
Serving the shrimp cocktail in a plastic solo cup with tin foil on top didn't add to its appeal.
Was it worth $3.99? Sure. Will I buy it again? Probably not.
(Narrator: "He's had like 10 since he wrote that he wouldn't"). But alcohol was involved, FYI.
In all seriousness, it's a solid snack for the price.
Fremont, Main Street Station, and The Cal all offer $5 Modelo & Heineken (bottle or 16oz draft), and this bad boy pairs well with either.
On The Strip
Slots A Fun
Slots A Fun has reinvigorated its casino with cheap food and drink options, including a $2 shrimp cocktail, the cheapest in Las Vegas.
I recently stopped in to try it, and...liked it! It came with 6 decently sized shrimp, and the cocktail sauce was delicious. The lettuce went untouched.
I ordered 2 more.
In addition to a cheap shrimp cocktail, Slots A Fun also slings $2 hot dogs, popcorn, and draft beer.
Off Strip
Palace & Boulder Station
Palace Station's Brass Fork and Game On at Boulder Station serve a $2.99 shrimp cocktail to loyalty members 24/7.
You just need to have the card to score the deal.
I finally made it to Palace Station to try one of these bad boys, and it was piled high on a bed of cocktail sauce and lettuce.
The sauce had a nice kick, and I thought it was great for the price.
Hopefully, I helped point you to a Shrimp Cocktail that doesn't break the bank.
Of the 2 options above, I prefer the cheap cocktail at Slots A Fun, since it's only $2.

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.
