It’s Vegas, so of course, there’s a hidden pizza spot. No signs, no menus—just incredible New York-style pizza by the slice. If you find it, consider yourself in the know.
Where to Drink

5. Atomic Liquors
Location: Fremont Street
This dive bar is a Vegas legend—literally the oldest free-standing bar in town. It got its name from when people used to sit on the roof and watch atomic bomb tests in the desert. You won’t see any explosions today, but the drinks still pack a punch.
