Nacho Daddy - Strip Happy Hour. The Strip

The Strip location of Nacho Daddy sits inside Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, Suite 595, which means you walk past storefronts and mall foot traffic before the smell of queso pulls you in. It is a full restaurant with a proper bar, open from breakfast through late, and the menu leans hard into the house specialty: overloaded gourmet nachos in more varieties than seems reasonable, including vegan versions. This is also home of the Scorpion Shot, a tequila shot with a real scorpion in the glass, which somebody at the next table will inevitably order for a bachelor party video.

The afternoon deal covers the classics. From 3 to 6 the bar discounts house margaritas, beers, wine and well drinks, and the kitchen sends out smaller-format plates like mini nachos and street tacos so you can graze without committing to a full daddy-sized platter. Night owls get a second window Monday through Thursday from 10 until 2, which is useful on this stretch of the Strip where most kitchens have given up by midnight. Exact pricing shifts, so treat the numbers on any menu photo you find online as a suggestion.

One thing worth knowing: published listings disagree about whether the weekend counts. Some sources show the deal every day, others weekdays only. If a Saturday happy hour is the whole point of your visit, call the restaurant at (702) 462-5000 before you make the trek through the mall. And come hungry; even the mini nachos are not small.
