Most weekday happy hours in town take Saturday off, and that includes Halloween night. The smart move is to start Friday, October 30, when the regular after-work deals are still running, and then lean on the event specials below for Saturday and the Día de los Muertos days that follow.
Costume parties & Halloween night
Ghostbar at Palms
This is the big costume night with a view. Entry is free, and the drink deal keeps a skyline party affordable.
- $10 Ketel One cocktails until 11pm
- Free entry
- $1,000 costume contest
The Griffin
The medieval-themed dive with the fire pits is the starting point for a Halloween bar crawl through the Fremont East district. It's the best way to see downtown in costume.
- Bar crawl kicks off here, 3–10pm
- Regular happy hour returns Sun–Thu, 5–6pm and 10–11pm
Sand Dollar Lounge
This locals' blues bar never charges a cover. It's running Halloween specials alongside its live music, and its regular happy hour runs on Saturday too.
- Halloween specials and live music through Nov 2
- Happy hour Mon–Sat, 5–7pm: $3–$5 beer and wells
- No cover
Día de los Muertos
¡VIVA! at Resorts World

- Día de los Muertos celebration Oct 31–Nov 2
- Happy hour daily, 3–5pm: $6 wine and beer, $12 house margarita
Mijo Modern Mexican
A Día de Muertos brunch is the gentlest way to recover from Saturday. Come back on a weeknight for Mijo Hour.

- Mijo Hour Mon–Thu, 4–6pm: $10 margaritas, $10 bites, $6 beers
Costume perk
Omakase Kyara
If you show up to dinner in costume, you get a free drink or dessert. It's a fun excuse to wear the costume twice.
