A Good Spot for Jammin' or just Drinkin'

   NYMCNV - 06/12/2008

I liked this place. Have been there for the Sunday and Monday night jams, had a great time, though I don't think they're having the jam on Monday's anymore. I say this 'cuz the last time I went by there to jam on Monday I found Chris Tofield and his band doin' their heavy blues thang. Luckily, most blues bands are very open to folks sitting in. Mr. Tofield is no different. He graciously invited me up to blow my sax and I didn't suck too bad, atall, atall. I got my ya-ya's out a little bit, had a coupla shots, it was great. Everybody was welcoming, too, though not in my face, ya know? I even got a coupla free drinks outta the whole deal! Good place to jam or just chill and listen to the blues. Better really love the blues, though, 'cuz that's about all they play there. Lucky me, I love the blues.

one fun spot

if it is true the joint is re opening, that is the best news I have heard all year! I don't even drink and I like this place!! It is funky, out and out biker blues fun fun fun! I think John Earl and his Boogie band have hit it big and most likely they were the reason this place was boogie all night long fun, but I know I miss it!!!

BEST DAMN BIKER/BLUES BAR!!

I live in boston mass, and when i went to VEGAS to visit a friend there in 1997.....she took me to the sand dollar because she said it was the best place to not only see a live blues band, but to FEEL the whole blues/biker bar vibe that happens when cool people and a rockin band get together as ONE. i've been to alot of strange bars before, but when i walked into the sand dollar i TOTALLY felt at home...the band was "john earl's boogieland blues band" and they were THE BEST BLUES BAND I'VE EVER SEEN!! and they're just a bunch of locals that love the blues.
BIKERS & BLUES FANS WILL LOVE THIS BAR! anyone who says otherwise....isn't a BIKER or a BLUES person!
NUFF SAID!....~> BLACK DOGG~BOSTON<~

Such a dive

I live in Vegas and never heard of the place so when I saw it featured as one of the top 12 baddest biker bars in the country I decided to check it out. Went on a Saturday night on our Harley. The place was hard to find, there were no other bikes in the parking lot. It was dead as a doornail most of the night. The only bright light was the band, The Moanin Blacksnakes. They need to find a better place to showcase their great sound.

Re-Opening Soon

It's true the Sand Dollar will re-open in the next few weeks.

such a loss

I was at the SandDollar only once - my one time in Vegas but was the best part of the trip - it was such a hidden treasure. I always told friends about it who was traveling that way. I am sad to hear that it has closed.

Great, great blues music! Super staff! Biker friendly! Cheap drinks! Cheap cover! Cool crowd! Always a good time! What's not to like!! With all tha's going on in this town, this is the only place that kept me coming back, night after night, week after week.... kinda' like a second home.... with blues, bikes, babes, and booze! Can't beat that combination! Now that it has closed, I don't know what to do with myself on a Friday or Saturday night. I developed a "Sand Dollar dependancy"... and I'm jonesin' BAD!

I'm having Sand Dollar withdrawals! I loved the bands at the Sand Dollar. There is no other place like it.
We have to find another venue for all the bands to play at. HELP

i've gone to this place for years, its not a first date kinda place but in this town I've lived in for 23 years its the only live music place still around and still pretty much unchanged.I love it. I miss the Boogie Man Band.This joint isn't full of itself,but has every right to be!!

A great place to hang out in Vegas if you enjoy the Blues. I will definately go back on my next trip.
