The X Pot Happy Hour. The Strip

The X Pot turns hot pot into a full sensory show, with LED walls, dry-ice presentations, and a robot that runs food to the table. The happy hour lives in the bar and lounge, daily from 5 to 8pm, with 50% off well cocktails and beer plus bar food specials.

That three-hour evening window is wide and runs all week, which gives you room to wander in after a late lunch or before dinner rather than racing a tight clock. The half-off well cocktails and beer are the value play, and the bar food specials keep you from drinking on an empty stomach. If you want the full table experience, that is the build-your-own hot pot: pick a broth, add proteins and vegetables, and cook at the table while the room puts on its display, though that part runs at regular pricing.

This suits a group that is up for spectacle and does not mind a loud, busy room. It is less of a quiet date spot and more of a shared experience you will talk about after.

The X Pot is at the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Palazzo, 3327 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 2884, walkable from the casino floor. There is also a separate lunch special Friday through Monday from 11:30am to 4pm if you would rather come earlier in the day.
