Las Vegas is offering multiple ways to kick off the Thanksgiving weekend, with local venues hosting “Drinksgiving” events that combine holiday revelry with specialty cocktails, entertainment, and even charity.
Wednesday Night Holiday Kick-Off
The night before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest social evenings of the year, and venues across downtown and the city are celebrating with special deals and entertainment.
- Park on Fremont Charity Event: This whimsical garden bar on Fremont Street is celebrating Drinksgiving on Wednesday, November 26th, with multiple specials, including their regular happy hour (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) featuring discounted drafts and cocktails. Giving back is a focus: the bar will offer half-off all draft beers all day to patrons who donate a new or gently used coat for the Las Vegas Rescue Mission. Park on Fremont also serves as a starting point for “The BLOCK,” a self-guided bar crawl connecting five popular downtown locations.
