Flights

Flights has one of the most unusual happy hour concepts in Vegas—9am to 10pm happy hour featuring $15 for 3-drink flights that change every hour. Read that again: their happy hour runs thirteen hours a day, and instead of discounted individual drinks, you're buying curated flights of three different drinks that rotate hourly. It's either genius or chaos depending on how you approach it, but it's definitely different from your standard "$5 well drinks" situation.

The Flight Concept Explained

You pay $15 and get three drinks (usually smaller pours, think 2-3 oz each) based on whatever theme is running that hour. Could be tequila flights, whiskey flights, themed cocktails, seasonal stuff—it rotates throughout the day so every hour offers something different. The idea is you're tasting and exploring rather than just pounding the same drink repeatedly. For people who like variety and discovery, this is perfect. For people who just want a vodka soda and don't care about creativity, this will annoy you.

The Math and Value

Three drinks for $15 breaks down to $5 per drink, which is competitive for Strip pricing. But you're getting smaller pours than a full cocktail, so the actual alcohol volume is probably equivalent to 1.5-2 regular drinks. The value is in the variety and curation—you're trying things you might not order otherwise, and the rotating themes mean repeat visits offer new experiences. If you're a spirits enthusiast or enjoy trying new things, the value goes beyond just alcohol content.

The All-Day Schedule

9am to 10pm is an absurdly long happy hour window. Morning flights could be mimosa variations or hair-of-the-dog situations. Afternoon might lean into spirit tastings. Evening could shift to creative cocktails. The hourly rotation means you could theoretically show up at different times and have completely different experiences. It also means there's never a "you just missed happy hour" situation—it's always happening, which is both convenient and potentially dangerous for your liver.

Who This Appeals To

Spirits nerds who want to taste and compare. People who get bored drinking the same thing. Groups where everyone wants something different—order a couple flights and share. Tourists treating Vegas as an extended tasting tour. Anyone who values experience and variety over just getting drunk efficiently. This is not for people who have one drink they like and stick with it, or for anyone looking to get maximum alcohol for minimum money. The appeal is exploration, not optimization.

The Practical Reality

The rotating flights mean you can't plan exactly what you'll get—you show up and see what that hour offers. Some themes will be more interesting than others. If you hate the current flight options, wait an hour and try again. The small pours are a double-edged sword: good for tasting without commitment, but frustrating if you find something you love and want a full pour. The staff presumably can help with that, but it's not the default setup.

Honest Assessment

Flights is a creative concept that either speaks to you or doesn't. The all-day schedule and hourly rotation show genuine effort to do something different instead of just "we serve alcohol like everyone else." The pricing is fair for what you're getting. But it requires a specific mindset—you have to be open to what they're offering rather than knowing exactly what you want. If you embrace the concept, it's a fun and educational drinking experience. If you just want your usual order, you'll find it gimmicky. Know yourself before committing.
