The Sand Dollar Lounge will host not only the Blues, but also Rock, Jazz, Funk and Pop.”

In 1976, the Sand Dollar Lounge opened its doors and became one of Las Vegas’ most iconic bars. Some of the greatest musicians and blues legends have graced this stage for nearly 40 years. People like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Etta James, the Allman Brothers and even Mick Jagger wouldn’t miss this spot when they were in town.
