We know you’re missing live music, and at Gilley’s Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que, you can recapture that feeling with their Bluegrass & BBQ nights. On Saturdays from 5-8 p.m., local bluegrass band Out of the Desert will provide ambient music while you dine and have drinks.
The lip-smacking barbecue at Gilley’s may always have been the biggest draw, but live music has always been close behind, with some of the hottest artists dropping in and local bands finding a chance to shine bright on the Strip.
Las Vegas band Out of the Desert has been playing together for 10 years now, and throughout the challenging past year have kept together, playing live when they can and streaming some performances online.
What’s live music without drinks? Enjoy a number of different specials on Saturday night, like five for $30 beer buckets with classic domestic beer choices and four for $30 buckets with imports and new-fangled options like hard seltzer and tea, plus selected drafts for $8 each. If you are more of a mule fan, get yours with either Deep Eddy vodka or Knob Creek single barrel reserve bourbon. The You-Call-It cocktail features Sauza Blue tequila, Jim Beam Kentucky bourbon, Deep Eddy vodka and Cruzan light aged rum. So yeah, you call it.
On any night, the best barbecue option here is the baby back ribs (of course). They come in half- or full racks, hand-rubbed in Gilley’s spices, slow-smoked and covered in barbecue sauce after cooking. But there are lots of other goodies to order, like Southern-fried chicken and rotisserie chicken; Gilley’s Lone Star burger, with all the classic toppings; beef chili with a little kick plus green onions and cheddar cheese; grits with white cheddar and green chili, buffalo wings in tossed in Frank’s RedHot Sauce; and even a Beyond Meat burger for vegetarians.
Whether you’re rolling in for dinner or checking out the band, you’ll leave satisfied.
