Final Countdown..Rockhouse on the Strip closing! Drink specials on May 5th!

After six successful years of rocking out all day and night at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, the iconic hotspot Rockhouse Bar & Nightclub has announced plans to close its doors on Saturday, May 5. The Cinco de Mayo bash will be the ultra-dive bar’s final night of hard partying until its reopening at a new venue on the Strip later this year.

The wildly popular party bar is moving to make way for The Linq, set to open in 2013 on the site in part occupied by the Rockhouse, across the street from Caesars Palace. Since opening in 2006, Rockhouse has become one of Sin City’s top party destinations. In March 2012, the Strip-side bar and nightclub set an all-time record for itself with more than $1 million in sales for the month.

“There isn’t anything like Rockhouse in Las Vegas,” says owner Jonathan Fine. “We love being the spot you can walk into wearing flip-flops, day or night, and have the time of your life. We will bring Rockhouse back to a new spot on the Strip very soon.”

With a closing party planned for Cinco de Mayo, Rockhouse plans to go full-throttle with a drink countdown from 10 p.m. until close. Starting at 10 p.m., drinks will be priced for $6 then drop down $1 after each hour until 4 a.m. when all drinks will be on the house until doors close for the last time.

Day or night, it’s always the right time to party at Rockhouse. Whether partygoers are checking out the scene on the rowdy Strip-side patio or dancing on the bar with an 80-ounce guitar, they always enjoy the ultimate nightlife experience. Las Vegas’ only ultra-dive bar is one of the city’s top nightclubs, minus the “VIP” attitude. Rockhouse features the best DJs in Las Vegas blending upbeat rock, hip-hop and dance. With beautiful bartenders pouring drinks from the bar tops, playing in the giant bird cage and dangling from tire swings suspended from the ceiling, Rockhouse is the spot where the party never stops.

Rockhouse is located on Las Vegas Blvd. in front of Imperial Palace, directly across from Caesars Palace in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip.  The daiquiri and main bar open daily at 10 a.m. and the adjacent nightclub is open from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. For more information visit www.therockhousebar.com, and for bottle and table reservations call 702.731.9683 or email info@rockhousebar.com.  Stay updated and follow Rockhouse on Twitter @RockhouseVegas and Facebook www.facebook.com/Rockhouselv.
