Stage Door Casino

Despite the proliferation of swanky hotel lounges, there are many gemlike dives throughout the city. But the Stage Door is the only one within spitting distance of the Strip—and it serves $3 beers or $2 shots. Sitting on a prime piece of real estate, Stage Door often uses its marquee to advertise how many years it has left on its lease—a one-finger salute to the surrounding resorts.
