Swapping ghost stories is a pastime that gains traction around this time of year, and given this town’s unique history, it’s little wonder that Vegas is a hot spot for tales that’ll make the hair on your arms raise up.

Rumor has it that the people on weekend benders aren’t the only entities lurking around Fremont East. Corduroy is famed for its 1970s-style decor, pickleback shots and cool lightbox photo op—but one of the lesser known allures is the ghostly guest who likes to say hello during closing hours.

“There’s a fine line between what’s logical and what’s being haunted,” says Corduroy bartender Randy Alvarez. “But there’s a general understanding that this place is haunted and there’s something roaming here.”

Alvarez has witnessed a plastic cup being flung to the ground during a slow hour and hearing a large trash can mysteriously fall over in the prep room while he was up front debating the haunt with the staff.

There’s word that the space that’s now home to this watering hole was previously a morgue, confirmed in a 1940s Las Vegas Age article describing a political figure’s sudden death. “The remains are in charge of the Garrison Mortuary. 515 Fremont Street,” reads the article.

On two separate occasions, mediums have found themselves drawn to the area outside of the women’s bathroom and claimed to have felt ghostly energy. “One of the mediums said that the spirit is a dude, an old jazz player and he’s just not ready to move on yet,” says Alvarez.
