Havana 1957 at Flamingo Happy Hour. The Strip

The mojito is the whole point here. Havana 1957 muddles them the Miami way, which tracks since the original sits on Ocean Drive, and the Flamingo outpost runs the same 1950s Cuba playbook in the middle of the Strip: ropa vieja stewed in criolla tomato sauce, slow roasted pork leg in mojo, a Cuban sampler for tables that cannot commit. The room leans loud and warm, more social club than hotel restaurant, and it opens at 8 in the morning and goes until midnight, catching everything from morning cafecito to the late seating.

Happy hour lands Monday through Friday starting at 4 pm, and the kitchen puts real dishes on the discount list instead of throwaway snacks: guacamole with pork carnitas, ham croquetas, fried calamari, a ropa vieja empanada, truffled yuca fries. On the drink side the classics get marked down, handcrafted mojitos, daiquiris, and Cuba Libres alongside select bottled and draft beers. The venue's own pages disagree on whether it wraps at 6 or 7, so aim for the earlier window if the deal matters.

Weekends shift gears with the Brunch Club from 11 to 4, Friday through Sunday, an exclusive among the group's locations. Nevada locals should flash an ID; the standing 10 percent discount is one of the quieter perks on this stretch of the Boulevard.
