Not many off-Strip Vegas establishments earn the title “legendary” and live to drink about it. Yet this punk rock dive bar—with its tattooed walls, epic jukebox, “Ass Juice” shots and a crowd that could charitably be called excessively weird—has been both making Vegas history and thumbing its nose at it for nearly 30 years. 4640 Paradise Road, 702-791-5775.
