WESTGATE LAS VEGAS HAPPY HOURS

Before it was Westgate, this was the Las Vegas Hilton, and before that it was simply where Elvis Presley performed more shows than anywhere else on the planet. A property that once defined what a Strip resort could be. Today Westgate has settled into a quieter chapter. Barry Manilow holds the residency now, and the only verified happy hour on property is at Benihana. It’s a fine happy hour of hibachi theater and a fair drink price but it’s not bringing the King back. Elvis has left the building.

Westgate Las Vegas Happy Hours – Frequently Asked Questions

One verified happy hour — Benihana. It’s a solid option with hibachi theatrics and fair drink pricing, but it’s the only game on property right now. Westgate isn’t currently competing on happy hour volume the way it once competed for the title of Vegas’s premier resort.

Yes. Westgate was formerly the Las Vegas Hilton, and Elvis Presley famously performed there throughout the 1970s, helping define an entire era of Las Vegas entertainment. The property still leans into that history, though today’s headliner is Barry Manilow rather than the King.

It’s a genuinely solid happy hour — hibachi cooking as entertainment along with reasonably priced drinks. If you’re staying at Westgate or visiting for a show, it’s an easy, reliable choice. It’s just not going to be the reason you make the trip on its own.

It’s a legacy property rather than a top-tier destination today. The World’s Largest Sportsbook and the history are real draws, and the rooms are spacious and well-reviewed, but the dining and nightlife scene has thinned out considerably compared to its Hilton-era heyday.

The Las Vegas Convention Center sits right next door, and the Strip itself is one block away. Keep walking passed the Fontainebleau to Resorts World happy hours or a short rideshare puts you in range of dozens of stronger happy hour scenes on the Strip.
