Henderson. Summerlin. Planet Hollywood. Three different neighborhoods, three different menus, one consistent idea: serious food and real drinks at prices that let you actually try the place. Happy Hour Vegas verified all three. Here’s what to order and why each one is worth the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49\u00a0See all verified Las Vegas happy hours at Happy Hour Vegas \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mon\u2013Sat 4\u20136 PM \u00b7 322 South Water Street<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Azzurra Cucina is a 30-seat Italian restaurant on Henderson’s Water Street \u2014 owned by local architect Windom Kimsey and run by Chef Alessandra Maderia, whose kitchen is unambiguously serious. The room is modern and intimate, the patio does most of the work on a good evening, and the food is the kind that makes you wonder how you went this long without knowing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The happy hour menu is built around Italian classics done correctly. Chef Alessandra’s Meatballs are $10.<\/strong> The Gnocchi Bolognese is $12.<\/strong> The Penne alla Vodka is $12.<\/strong> The Hanger Steak is $20<\/strong> \u2014 a full entree portion at a fine dining price that makes no financial sense and every culinary sense. Pair it with a $8 glass of house red<\/strong> and you’re done. Well fed, well spent, no reservations required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The full happy hour menu:<\/strong> Order this:<\/strong> Hanger Steak + a glass of house red. That’s a full dinner for under $30 at a chef-driven Italian restaurant. The Water Street District is worth the drive on its own \u2014 Azzurra is the reason to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where:<\/strong> 322 South Water Street, Henderson \u00b7 702-268-7867<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc49\u00a0Full menu & hours at Happy Hour Vegas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mon\u2013Thu 3\u20137 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the regular menu is half-price at happy hour, including the margaritas and pitchers of draft beer. That alone makes Hot N Juicy worth knowing. But the detail that sets this happy hour apart is the green mussels<\/strong> \u2014 which, as far as Happy Hour Vegas can confirm, don’t appear on any other happy hour menu in Las Vegas. If you’ve seen them elsewhere, let us know. Until then, this is the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hot N Juicy is a Cajun seafood concept with five Las Vegas locations. The Planet Hollywood location has the Strip energy to match the menu. It’s loud, it’s messy, and the food is built to punch back. The Cajun mozzarella sticks, no-head shrimp, green mussels, and a margarita runs approximately $35 total \u2014 a full table of food on the Strip for the price of two cocktails at a resort bar next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Order this:<\/strong> Green mussels + Cajun mozzarella sticks + no-head shrimp + margarita. ~$35 total. The mussels are the reason you’re here \u2014 order them first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where:<\/strong> Planet Hollywood Resort, Las Vegas Strip<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc49\u00a0Full menu & hours at Happy Hour Vegas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udf77\u00a0Two Italians and a Cajun seafood spot \u2014 and there are 500+ more where these came from.

Ai Pazzi is his first Las Vegas location \u2014 and he opened it in Summerlin, inside the JW Marriott, where it debuted to a 4.4-star rating before most people knew it existed. The happy hour is how you try a celebrity chef’s restaurant without committing to the full dinner tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ten items on the menu. Nothing over $13. At a 5-star resort. The Pesce Fritto \u2014 rockfish and shoestring fries \u2014 is $13<\/strong> and is the most complete dish on the list. The Sausage & Peppers Panini is $10<\/strong>. The Truffle Mushroom pizza with parmesan cream and mozzarella is $10<\/strong>. Add an Italian Spritz at $12<\/strong> and you have a proper afternoon for well under $30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Resort at Summerlin runs a “Happy Hour Hopping” program across multiple restaurants in the building \u2014 Ai Pazzi is the newest addition and the one with the most immediate name recognition for anyone who watches food television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The full happy hour menu:<\/strong> Order this:<\/strong> Pesce Fritto + Italian Spritz. Rockfish and fries with a proper Aperol drink at a Top Chef alum’s restaurant in Summerlin for $25. That’s the play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where:<\/strong> JW Marriott Resort, 221 N Rampart Blvd, Summerlin<\/p>\n\n\n\n\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 Azzurra Cucina Italiana \u2014 Water Street District, Henderson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
