Beyond the Casinos: Unexpected Hidden Gems in Las Vegas

24. Atomic Liquors

Step back in time at Atomic Liquors, holding the title of Las Vegas's oldest freestanding bar (Liquor License #00001!). Located downtown, this iconic spot opened in 1952 and famously hosted patrons watching atomic bomb tests from the roof in its early days. Featured in films like Casino and The Hangover, it retains a cool, retro vibe with vintage decor, a great selection of craft beers, and classic cocktails. It’s a piece of living Vegas history offering a genuine, unpretentious local bar experience.
