Cabinet of Curiosities Happy Hour. The Strip

Victorian oddities line the walls of this small cocktail room tucked inside Horseshoe, and the theatrical, slightly strange setting is what makes it stand out from the casino's other bars. The drinks lean dramatic to match.

For the daytime window, happy hour runs daily from 2 to 4pm. Happy-hour cocktails are $13, domestic bottles are $6, and house wines are $9. The cocktails are the draw given the room's whole personality, but if you are watching the tab, the $6 domestic bottle is the value play while you take in the décor. There is also a reverse happy hour that kicks off around 9pm, though the end time changes night to night, so the afternoon block is the reliable one to plan around.

The space is compact and detail-heavy, which makes it feel more like a destination than a pass-through spot. It suits people who want a cocktail and an atmosphere worth photographing, not a place to post up for hours of cheap rounds.

Horseshoe sits dead center on the Strip between Paris and the former Bally's footprint, so it is easy to fold into a longer afternoon of wandering. Come early in the 2pm window if you want a seat, since the room is small and fills quickly once people find it. As always, confirm the current pour list at the bar, since seasonal cocktails rotate.
