Forget the Strip. Hang Out at Las Vegas Dive Bars
There's no better place to get drunk than a Vegas dive bar. There are luxury bars and speakeasies on the Strip if you need class and $17 cocktails. If you need pocket-friendly alcohol and fun, here are a few Las Vegas dive bars :
Four Kegs Sports Pub is a community gathering spot that has served patrons food and drinks for over 43 years. It's trendy for the Stromboli and pizza selections. Additionally, they welcome families and children in the backroom and sponsor two local softball and soccer teams, making them unique among dive bars.

Dino’s Lounge is a perfect dive bar that has been open since 1962, a testament to the service.
It's popular among neighborhood regulars and downtown hipsters. Its doors are always open, so you can meet your drinking needs anytime. Karaoke nights are jam-packed, with every guest trying to show off. There are also pool tables to keep you entertained - a must at any good Vegas dive bar.

at Champagnes Cafe[/caption]
Jon Taffer, the host of Bar Rescue, entered Champagne Cafe nine years ago and remarked that it was frozen in time. He tried to modernize it, but almost a decade later, the place still retains its old look with a frame of Marilyn Monroe and a velvet wall welcoming patrons. The bar boasts a rich history, including hosting celebrity patron Rat Pack and former Mobster Frank Cullota. Its nightly drink special remains the biggest attraction, though.

The Dive Bar[/caption]
Decorated with plenty of stickers and graffiti on its walls, the dark, dingy, 24/7 Dive Bar Las Vegas illustrates true dive bar culture. It's the perfect spot if you want to grab a beer and jam out to live punk, grunge, and metal music. Note that live music is available every night except Mondays, which are dedicated to comedy performances.
