Echo & Rig Happy Hour. Off-Strip

The butcher shop up front is not a gimmick. Echo & Rig cuts its own beef on site, and the same prime steak from the dinner menu shows up in the bar's happy hour food at prices that make no sense for a Rampart steakhouse. Four dollars buys steak and egg, a cut of prime under a sunny side up yolk with fried garlic. The hot dog with sauerkraut and brown mustard is three. Butcher fries run five: Kennebec fries piled with prime steak, house-made teriyaki, and scallions.

Drinks follow the same logic. There is a $3 cocktail, house red or white for $5, and half off every draft and bottled beer along with premium well liquor, weekdays from 3 to 6 pm, bar area only. The menu says no substitutions and they mean it. Seats go fast on Fridays because the Summerlin crowd knows exactly what this deal is worth, so showing up closer to 3 is the move.

The room sits in Tivoli Village on Rampart, on the west side and a solid drive from the Strip. If the window closes on you, lunch is served until 4 and dinner picks up right after, and the butcher counter stays open until 7 in case you would rather take a steak home and cook it yourself.
