For nearly two decades, Blue Martini has drawn tourists and locals alike to its second-story space at Town Square with DJ sets, hookah service, and buzzy happy hours — including open bar nights for women. On Sunday, July 20, the longtime nightlife staple closed its doors, with plans to reopen on the Las Vegas Strip in spring 2026.
Las Vegas locals who turned 21 any time in the past 18 years likely have a story about a night out at Blue Martini — usually involving choking down a first taste of hookah, throwing down sugary shots from the banging happy hour, or running into years-forgotten friends while navigating the packed rooms. The bar was also known for its Noche Azules Thursdays, neo-soul Sundays, and various after-parties.
The bar announced the closure in a farewell statement on Instagram, which reads, “But this isn’t goodbye. It’s simply a thank you. For 18 amazing years & being part of our journey with an invitation to return and create new memories on the [next] chapter.”
Neighboring Town Square bar Stoney’s Rockin’ Country will remain open through the end of 2025 before closing and relocating to a 19,000-square-foot bar at Sunset Station Hotel Casino in Henderson in 2026
Viral smash burger pop-up Not a Damn Chance lands at Resorts World
Viral burger sensation Not a Damn Chance, known for wagyu beef patties and beef tallow fries, has landed in Las Vegas as a temporary pop-up at Resorts World. The concept was created by pro skateboarder Neen Williams and chef Phillip Frankland Lee of Scratch Restaurants Group, the group behind the 2024 pop-up Sushi by Scratch Restaurants at the resort.
The pop-up’s signature NADC burger comes with a seared wagyu topped with grilled onions, melted American cheese, house-made secret sauce, pickles, and jalapeños on a toasted potato roll. The fries are loaded with cheese, pickles, and special sauce, while a Vegas-exclusive breakfast burger adds bacon and a fried egg to the mix. NADC is located in the Sun’s Out Buns Out space, next to the Conrad lobby, and is open 24 hours a day.
A sports bar lands in the Las Vegas Arts District
A new sports bar is headed to the Arts District. From the team behind Horse Trailer Hideout comes the Stadium Sports Bar and Restaurant, opening August 1 between Able Baker Brewing and Horse Trailer Hideout. Inside, guests will find 23 televisions lining the walls and a menu featuring brioche bun hot dogs, nachos with poblano queso blanco, and $6 ice cream sundaes. With downtown Las Vegas experiencing explosive bar and restaurant growth in 2025, the Stadium stands out as a dedicated spot for game day viewing in the neighborhood.
