Resorts World Las Vegas Happy Hour Guide: Where to Drink for Less

Resorts World opened in June 2021 as the first brand-new resort on the Strip since the Cosmopolitan in 2010, and it shows. The whole place was built recently, which means the restaurants are current, the bars are designed for actual drinking, and a surprising number of them run real happy hours. That last part matters. A lot of newer luxury properties skip happy hour entirely, so a resort this size with this many deals is genuinely unusual.

The property sits on the north end of the Strip, on the old Stardust site, directly across from Fontainebleau. Inside you get three hotels under one roof, a huge casino, and more than forty places to eat and drink. The catch with almost every happy hour here is the same: the deal runs at the bar or lounge, not in the main dining room. Sit at the bar, order off the happy hour menu, and you can eat at a celebrity-chef restaurant for a fraction of the dinner price.

One honest note before the list. Happy hour times and prices at a property this big shift around, and a few of the venues below publish slightly different windows in different places. I have used the times from each venue's own page where I could and flagged the ones worth a quick call. Always confirm same-day, especially around holidays and big convention weeks.

The Best Happy Hours at Resorts World

Brezza

Brezza runs what it calls a Cicchetti Hour, and it is one of the better deals in the building. Daily from 3 to 6pm you get 40 percent off cocktails, wine, and beer, plus discounted Italian small plates at the bar. Think olives, a margherita pizza, rigatoni, and a burger in the low-to-mid twenties. Coastal Italian food at 40 percent off is a strong way to start a night on the north Strip.

Aqua Seafood & Caviar

Aqua is the move when you want oysters without the full seafood-tower bill. The bar happy hour runs in the late afternoon with oysters around five dollars each, wagyu sliders, a mini lobster roll, house wine, and cocktails. Sit at the bar, order a half dozen oysters and a glass of wine, and you are in good shape. Times have been listed as daily and also as weekday-only depending on the source, so confirm the day you go.

Crossroads Kitchen

Crossroads is the rare upscale vegan happy hour, and the gimmick is fun: a tight window in the late afternoon, Monday through Saturday, where everything on the bar menu is ten dollars. Caviar and chips, Impossible cigars, signature cocktails, select wine and beer, all a flat ten. The window is short, so get there early and grab a bar seat.

Viva by Ray Garcia

Viva is modern Mexican from chef Ray Garcia, and the happy hour is one of the most generous on price. House wine and draft beer around six dollars, a house margarita around twelve, and discounted plates like ceviche and steak tacos. It runs in the afternoon daily. This is a great low-key option if you want real food and a margarita without committing to a full dinner.

Stubborn Seed

Stubborn Seed is chef Jeremy Ford's New American spot, and the bar happy hour leans a little more upscale: cocktails around sixteen, house spirits around ten, wine and beer discounted, and a well-regarded burger around nineteen. Good for a more refined drink before dinner rather than a budget crawl stop.

Kusa Nori

Kusa Nori does Japanese hand rolls, and the happy hour window here is unusually long earlier in the week. Expect discounted cocktails, oysters, hand rolls, and sake bombs. The hours are generous Sunday through Thursday and shorter on weekends, so this is a great weeknight option when other happy hours have already ended.

Gatsby's Cocktail Lounge

Gatsby's is a proper cocktail lounge with a daily late-afternoon happy hour, roughly 4 to 6pm. Rotating cocktails, discounted wine and champagne, beer, and bar bites like truffle fries and wagyu sliders. Prices vary depending on where you look, so treat the menu numbers as approximate and check the board when you sit down. The room itself is worth the stop.

REDTAIL

REDTAIL is the sports-bar-meets-arcade-and-karaoke spot, and it runs a straightforward happy hour in the early evening: a few dollars off sixteen-ounce drafts, cheap wings with a small minimum, and a couple dollars off appetizers. This is your casual, no-fuss option when you want a beer and a game on, not a tasting menu.

FUHU

FUHU is contemporary Asian, and the bar happy hour later in the week brings 50 percent off small plates and signature rolls, plus cheap beers and cocktails. The times are confirmed Wednesday through Sunday in the early evening, though the exact menu shifts, so consider the specials approximate.

Wally's Wine & Spirits

Wally's is a wine bar and market with an afternoon wine-flight special daily. The exact pours rotate and are not always itemized publicly, so this one is best treated as a "go in, ask what the afternoon flight is" stop. For wine people it is a relaxed, civilized way to spend the late afternoon.

One to Confirm First

Genting Palace, the Cantonese and dim sum restaurant, appears to run a happy hour, but the time is genuinely unclear. One source points to a mid-afternoon window and another to early evening, and the official menu PDF looks a few years old. If Genting Palace is your target, call ahead before you build your plan around it.

How to Play Resorts World

Because nearly every deal here is bar-only and the windows overlap in the 3 to 6pm range, the smart move is to pick two spots close in the property and bar-hop between them. Start at Brezza or Viva when they open at 3, then slide into a 4 to 6 spot like Aqua, Gatsby's, or Stubborn Seed. If you are running late, Kusa Nori and REDTAIL stretch into the evening and save the night.

Deals at a resort this new still change often, so confirm the current happy hour before you go, especially on holidays and convention nights.
