Family-style portions at Carmine’s mean one appetizer usually feeds four people โ happy hour doesn’t change that math, it just drops the price on top of it.
Carmine’s Italian Restaurant’s happy hour at Caesars Palace runs Monday-Thursday, 2-4pm, at the bar only, with $10 cocktails, $8 wine, and $10 meatball sliders.
Order This: The meatball sliders โ a Carmine’s staple sized for the table, not a solo snack, and the closest thing on the happy hour menu to the restaurant’s famous portion sizes at a tenth of the commitment. The eggplant rollatini and fried zucchini round out the food list if you’re staying past one round.
Carmine’s built its Vegas reputation on Southern Italian family-style dining โ the kind of place where two people order for four and still leave with leftovers. That makes happy hour here a genuinely different animal: a two-hour window to sample the Forum Shops institution without ordering a platter meant for a birthday party. It’s a smart, low-commitment entry point before you come back for the full family-style spread.
Bar seating only, no reservations needed for happy hour specifically โ walk up, grab a stool, and go in knowing the regular menu’s portion sizes are the whole reason people love this place.
Parking:
Valet and Self Parking are available at Caesars Hotel & Casino, with only a brief walk through the world famous Forum Shops. Free 3 hour parking for Las Vegas residents.
