Making Memorial Day Weekend in Vegas Memorable
Every year we celebrate Memorial Day, commemorating the fallen soldiers of the Civil War with a 3-day weekend. If you choose to spend this weekend in Las Vegas, you will not be alone. This is the official start of the summer vacation season, so from now until Labor Day there are going to be more debaucheries in Vegas than ever.
Here's what we think you should do to celebrate the start to your summer this Memorial Day Weekend in Vegas. It's going to be hot. It's going to be crowded, and there will be plenty of scantily clad women for you to pretend to gaze over... America, am I right?!
Specials on Memorial Day Weekend in Vegas:
- Cabo Wabo Cantina: A Memorial Day patio party featuring drink specials and giveaways beginning Friday. Grab your own $15 pitchers, $25 buckets of Dos Equis and shovel down some Tex-Mex on special. The Cazadores Tequila girls will be giving away free merchandise and tequila samples. You think they're going to be doing belly-shots? Doesn't hurt to ask. What better way to celebrate a day commemorating the Civil War than with Tex-Mex and tequila?
- Tacos and Tequila: From Saturday to Monday, there's 2-for-1 Bloody Maria’s and top shelf margaritas, 1/2 price daiquiri refills, $10 Dos Equis beer mugs and Patrón shot specials. Plus, "Funny Hour" half-priced drinks always just end up you getting double-drunk. Or quadruple drunk usually in Casino Boy's case.
- Lynard Skynard BBQ & Beer: Thursday to Monday they're having "Lyve" entertainment from local artists, and then become your own local legends at “Klassic Karaoke” on Sunday and Monday at 9 pm. All weekend, $5 appetizers from noon to 6pm and $4 draft beers (Lynyrd Skynyrd Lager, Coors Light, PBR and Shinerbock), and $5 well drinks/house wine.
- PBR Rock Bar & Grill: BBQ and beer, that's what summer is all about! And besides, May is National Barbeque Month, so celebrate before the month comes to an end. You can get a 15% discount on BBQ Beef Ribs, Texas Style Beef Brisket, Smoked BBQ Chicken and more from 3- 6pm all weekend! Budweiser beer buckets are $19 and a live DJ will be spinning tunes.
