Balla Italian Soul Happy Hour

A James Beard Award-winning chef running happy hour twice a night at a coastal Italian restaurant inside the Sahara. That’s Balla Italian Soul — named one of the 38 Best Restaurants on the Strip in 2025— and the happy hour is genuinely priced for humans.

Order This:

• Stuffed Mushrooms — $10 — the bar bite regulars reorder without looking at the menu
• Spaghetti — $15 during happy hour — handmade pasta at a fraction of the dinner price
• Sommelier Select Wine (Red, White, or Sparkling) — $10 — curated Eurocentric selections, not the house plonk
• Balla Spritz — $10 each — the right drinks for this room
• Cocktail of the Month — $8 all day, every day — the best value on the menu, full stop

The happy hour at Balla Italian Soul runs daily 5–6 PM and again 9–10 PM, bar area only. Two windows per night is unusual and useful — the late slot at 9 PM catches people after a show or a long casino session. Las Vegas locals also get half off all steaks every Tuesday and half off bottles of wine every Wednesday with a valid local ID. At the top of the Strip, Balla is one of the few fine-dining-adjacent restaurants that consistently rewards the people who actually live here. The $7 Limoncello Spritz alone is worth the drive.

Bar seating only for happy hour. No reservations needed for the bar.
