7 Great Las Vegas Happy Hours (in 7 days)

April 14, 2010 By 2 Comments

Two bucks is always the price for a big beer at four Texas Station bars.

FINDING A LAS Vegas happy hour or drink special is about as difficult as finding a sunburnt tourist on Memorial Day weekend. But what some people call a “drink special” is, well, not so special. (TRUE STORY: I recently bought a 20oz domestic draft at a Strip property for $12. $12!!!)

Here at Station Casinos we think we do drink specials and happy hours at many of our Las Vegas bars and lounges better than anyone in town. The winning formula: The right cocktail at the right price with the right crowd. In that spirit, here’s seven day’s worth of “drinking on the cheap” in Las Vegas…

MONDAY
The Drink: $2 16oz Bud Light drafts, 99¢ frozen Margaritas and $2 Tequila shots
Where/When: Whiskey Bar, Race & Sports Book Bar, Splitz Bar and Garage Bar at Texas Station, 24/7
Vibe: Texas makes it easy with three drink specials (none more than two bucks) at four bars with no time limit. In other words, they aren’t even really drink specials; it’s just way we pour.

TUDAY
The Drink: Half price drinks
Where/When: Havana Lounge at Boulder Station, nightly from 11pm – 4am
Vibe: The Havana Lounge is a cool place to shoot some pool and light up a cigar (they sell premium cigars). This is a late-night drink special so rest up.

WENDESDAY
The Drink: Half price martinis
Where/When: Hank’s at Green Valley Ranch, daily from 5pm – 7pm
Vibe: Hank’s is a first-class steakhouse with the main dining room opening at 5:30pm daily. The half-priced martinis start flowing in the bar at 5pm with an appetizer menu. Live piano music at 6:30 Tuesday – Saturday.

THIRSTYDAY!
The Drink: $2 domestic draft beer, $3 imported drafts, 2-for-1 shots of Jameson and Patron Silver
Where/When: Jack’s at Palace Station, daily from 3pm – 7pm
Vibe: Jack’s is a comfy Irish-pub-type hangout with Guinness and other brews on tap. It’s a friendly place to watch the game or meet up with friends. Live music with Evenflow starts at 7pm on Thursday.

FRYDAE
The Drink: $4.99 Skyy martinis and 4 Bud or Bud Light beers for $9 (4949 Lounge). $1 Jack Daniels shots and $1 domestic draft beer (Revolver)
Where/When: The 4949 Lounge Happy Hour runs daily from (you guessed it) 4pm – 9pm. Friday night is American Badass night at the Revolver Bar & Saloon.
Vibe: Hey, it’s Friday night so here’s two options at Santa Fe Station. 4949 is sexy and ultra-loungy so you can meet up with friends in a cool spot before riding the dance floor (and mechanical bull) at Revolver.

SPATERDEE
The Drink: $3 Margaritas, $2 draft beers and $6 Coronita buckets
Where/When: Camacho’s Cantina at Aliante Station, nightly from 6pm – 8pm
Vibe: This is the Pre-Party Fiesta that foreruns Caliante Noche Latina featuring music from Volume 1 in the Access Showroom at 9pm, so it’s always a festive warm-up for a big Saturday night in North Las Vegas.

S@N%&?
Better take the night off and get some sleep (or your cognitive functions like spelling may become impaired).

Sincerely, please be safe when drinking.
Cheers!

A Good Man to Have in Your Corner

March 22, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Catch Frank's son in action at one of five of Station Casinos' UFC 111 Viewing Parties on Saturday.

AS SECURITY DIRECTOR at Green Valley Ranch, Frank Mir is in charge of ensuring a safe and secure environment for both guests and Team Members. As father of a heavyweight UFC fighter, he has to control that same urge to “keep anyone from hurting my boy.” Frank Mir III, the son and UFC fighter, is headlining (along with St. Pierre vs. Hardy) this weekend’s UFC 111 card versus Shane Carwin (see Viewing Party locations at Station Casinos and UFC 111 fight card). The SC Blog caught up with the senior Mir to talk about work, his lifetime passion for martial arts and what it’s like to watch his son in the ring.

SC BLOG: How long have you worked at Station Casinos?
FM: 15 years this June.

What are your duties as Security Director at Green Valley Ranch?
I oversee the daily operations of the department. I’m responsible for the standards, policies and procedures and ensuring a safe and secure environment of both guests and Team Members, and company assets.

What do you like about your work?
Interaction with the Team Members, and the development of future leaders.

Over here for information about our UFC Viewing Parties for this weekend!

Your son, Frank III, is a UFC heavyweight fighter, what is your history with martial arts?
I’ve been involved in the martial arts since the age of 13. Even though I trained in various styles, I spend the majority of my training in the art of Kenpo, which is a mixture of various arts. There was a time when I owned a commercial martial art school, however, I felt that teaching commercially water-downed the art since not everyone trained from the heart. I felt a greater accomplishment when I taught a few students, who were truly interested in learning and training, from the house garage.

What are some of the benefits of karate for men or women of any age?
Training in the martial arts opens up your mind awareness, anticipation and adaptability to change. You will learn about your physical limitations as well as your strengths.

How much influence did you have on your son’s growing up and learning his trade?
Being his father and his first teacher in life, I did influence my son’s interest in the martial arts, especially when he spent the majority of his early childhood and teen years in a martial art environment. He listened to discussions of concepts, theories and learning how to understand the mental and physical reactions of the human being in combat.

Was he always a tough kid?
Yes, mentally and physically years ahead of his age group but always had happy-go-lucky approach to life. He never let anyone outside his inner circle know of his training. The approach is ‘on the-need-to-know basis’

How involved are you in your son’s career now?
100%

So you watch his fights. Are you nervous when watching?
Being one of the trainers, I’m at each fight working his corner. I’m nervous at every fight but I just need to control the parental urge of jumping in the ring and keep anyone from hurting my boy. However, I know that I have to keep my emotions in check and my mind clear so I can assist him with instructions during the heat of battle.

What does his mother think about all this fighting?
His mother is also a martial artist and understands Frank’s love for the martial arts and supports him every step of the way.

Las Vegas Bars: ‘Sipping’ Tequila in a Margarita? Darn right!

March 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Red Rock's Cabo is one of several Station Casinos restaurants and bars where you can get a great "shaken" margarita. Say Hi to Rick at the bar.

NOT TOO LONG ago, a buddy of mine had a tequila tasting at his birthday party. Ok, I know some of you are making the sign of the cross with your fingers, while backing away from your computer. But fear not, there are some really fine sipping tequilas out there. I’m talking Añejos, meaning tequilas that have been aged in fine oak barrels for 1 to 3 years. Some of the bottles at the tasting were Condé Azul, Gran Centenario, Don Eduardo, Don Julio 1942, and my personal fave Chinaco. And the other night, I wandered over to Cabo, in Red Rock, to see what tequilas they poured. Happily, I found all of those mentioned above — and then some! So I hopped onto a bar stool and ordered, “Don Eduardo Añejo margarita on the rocks. No salt.”  

“What?” you say. “He wasted a ‘sipping’ tequila in a margarita?” Darn right I did! And I wouldn’t call it a waste. In fact, using an añejo tequila in a margarita can take it from merely refreshment to being one of the finest mixed drinks you’ve ever tasted. And let me tell you, the margarita that Rick (the bartender at Cabo, Red Rock) placed before me was one fine sip. I asked Rick about the “mix” he used, and he told me it was made fresh, every day, with hand-squeezed lime juice. Rick also informed me that the harder you shake a margarita (never, never stir), the better the flavor. Well, Rick must have shook mine within an inch of its life because it was near perfection. Now, a word to the wise: a well-made añejo margarita goes down real easy. Maybe a little too easy, if you know what I mean. (And I think you do.) Meaning you could find it a bit more difficult to get up from your seat (read nearly impossible). But upgrading to an añejo can change everything you thought you knew about tequila and margaritas. 

Tequila & Margarita Specials at Station Casinos

If you have a favorite añejo tequila, let me know below what it is. After all, margarita season will be on us before we know it.

Cheers,

Valentine’s Day Hotel Deals, Concerts & Dining at Station Casinos

February 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The Smokey Robinson concert, Saturday night at Green Valley Ranch, is one many romantic events taking place at Station Casinos this weekend.

LOVE IS A Battlefield. Love will keep us together. Love will tear us apart. Love will find a way.

With Valentine’s just a few days away, Station Casinos is in the mood with many romantic musical options, as well as some sweetheart hotel deals and amorous dining specials.

Headlining the list is the Smokey Robinson concert (get tickets here). The Miracle man whose songs titles include That’s What Love Is Made Of, Who’s Loving You and More Love is playing at Green Valley Ranch Saturday night. Should be epic.

Looking for some tough love? Hard-rockin’ Dokken (tickets info here), with “love” songs It’s Not Love, Stop Fighting Love and Heart to Stone, is also playing Saturday night, at Santa Fe Station’s cool Chrome Showroom.

The Smokey and Dokken concerts are just a few of the special Heart Day haps at Station Casinos and Fiestas this weekend. Like a box of chocolates, here are our Las Vegas hotel deals, entertainment events and restaurant menus straight from Cupid.
