Sand Dollar lounge

Quote: Jason Bracelin @LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Over the years, the Sand Dollar developed a name for itself as the kind of joint where big names like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Etta James, Ted Nugent and Joe Bonamassa, to name a few, would stop by for a drink or for impromptu jam sessions, intermingling with bikers and other regulars after playing a gig on the Strip or elsewhere in town.

Rhiner recalls a time when there used to be lines of taxis and limousines outside the Sand Dollar on the weekends, full of out-of-towners seeking a taste of the local scene in a down-to-earth, decidedly nonglitzy setting. Back then, the Sand Dollar was a hub for local musicians, a place where they went just to hang.
