SAND DOLLAR DOWNTOWN
Explore
La Vida Local
You’ve fallen prey to
the Piña Colada yard
drink, your luck on
the tables lapsed,
and the boulevard’s
bright lights are
suddenly lacking
luster. The ultimate
reset? A quick
off-Strip trip for
some local color.
From recommended
watering holes to
funky culture clubs,
natives know a night
off from the big city
begins downtown,
and we’ve rounded
up residents’ top
three recs.
DRINK:
While the city may be
transient, The Sand
Dollar remains a
staple. Since 1976 this
beloved dive bar has

received plenty of local
love, and its second
location downtown
features all the
original perks:
live music, artisan
pizza, and a fearlessly
exploratory cocktail
program including
highballs and
tiki drinks.
