Coyote Ugly Saloon Happy Hour. The Strip

The $12 draft beer and shot is the order that fits this place. You're here to drink fast while the bartenders run their routines, and that combo gets you a beer and a shot for less than two separate pours would cost. Solo drinkers can stick with the $7 draft over the $8 wells.

Coyote Ugly Saloon at New York-New York is exactly what the name promises: bartenders dancing on the bar, leading chants, and spraying the crowd with water bottles. Happy hour runs daily, 6 to 9pm, which lines up perfectly with the energy climbing through the evening. There are happy hour food specials if you need to eat something between rounds.

By 7pm it's already a party. The crowd skews young and loud, heavy on bachelorette and bachelor groups looking to let loose. If you hate being pulled into the action, this is not your bar. If you came to embrace the spectacle, the 6pm start gets you in before the real crush.

Use it as a pre-club warmup. The discounted pricing keeps the cost well under nightclub territory while the show carries the entertainment. It's inside the New York-New York casino with resort parking and valet, an easy walk from the Strip sidewalk. Set expectations for chaos, not craft cocktails, and it delivers.
