The vibrant dining scene in Las Vegas is experiencing a significant shift as several beloved bars and restaurants have recently shut their doors, marking the end of an era for many of the city’s gastronomic staples.
Among the notable closures is Hogs & Heifers Saloon, a bar that has been a staple of the Las Vegas nightlife since its expansion from New York in 2005.
Located on Third Street, Hogs & Heifers was known for its dive bar atmosphere and rowdy vibe, encouraging patrons to hang bras from the rafters and participate in bartop dancing.
Despite closing on July 5 due to an expired lease, owner Michelle Dell has plans to reopen the saloon in the Arts District, promising to maintain its signature rebellious spirit.
Another significant loss is District One, a well-loved Vietnamese restaurant that concluded its 11-year run on July 6.
Founded by chef Khai Vu in 2014, District One gained a dedicated following for its unique dishes like lobster pho and oxtail fried rice.
The restaurant’s space is set to undergo remodeling and will transform into a Japanese restaurant, indicating a new direction for the venue.
The nightlife favorite Blue Martini also announced its closure after nearly two decades at Town Square.
Renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, complete with DJ sets and popular happy hours, Blue Martini closed its doors on July 20 but is expected to relaunch on the Las Vegas Strip come spring 2026.
In the realm of plant-based dining, NoButcher has shut down its locations on South Rainbow Boulevard and in Henderson, with the latter having just opened three months prior.
This vegan deli was known for innovative takes on classic sandwiches, but it faced challenges that led to its closures, including poor sales performance and undisclosed building issues.
Similarly, Chagaroot, a Henderson restaurant that started with a fully plant-based menu, closed on July 3.
Initially focusing on mushrooms as its main protein, Chagaroot expanded to offer options like salmon and chicken.
Nevertheless, the restaurant struggled to maintain its original vision before its door closing.
Lastly, Therapy, once a trendy hotspot since 2017, has also met its end after a decline in food quality and service.
Known for its creative cocktails and shareable plates, Therapy was sold in March 2025 and closed soon after.
This wave of closures reflects the ongoing evolution of Las Vegas’s dining landscape, as operators adapt to changing consumer preferences and market conditions.
For fans of these venues, the future may hold new beginnings, as several owners have announced plans to reopen in new formats, ensuring that the spirit of these establishments continues to thrive amidst the changes.
As the culinary scene shifts, residents and visitors alike are left to ponder what new dining experiences will take their place in the vibrant city.
