A much-loved but controversial bar, Hogs & Heifers Saloon, has closed in downtown Las Vegas.

The sassy spot operated across from the Downtown Grand casino for 20 years before closing on July 6, 2025.

While the bar section of Hogs & Heifers has closed, its adjoining merchandise shop will be open through July 19, 2025. It was never really about the merch.

The closure of Hogs & Heifers marks the end of a raucous, ribald, and rebellious era. Mostly those first two things.

Hogs & Heifers battled for years with its landlords at Downtown Grand. The venues were at cross-purposes. Hogs & Heifers prided itself on being loud and raunchy. Downtown Grand’s revenue comes mainly from its hotel. The noise and fights weren’t a good fit, and the situationship got heated at times.

Hogs & Heifers sued the Downtown Grand, claiming the casino improperly tried to terminate the lease.

Downtown Grand and its owners, CIM Group, applied pressure by limiting the bar’s use of the common area between the hotel and Hogs & Heifers.

A win in that case gave Hogs & Heifers a little time, but once the lease ran out, Hogs & Heifers was done.

Downtown Grand has not announced what will replace Hogs & Heifers, but whatever moves in is going to be much, much quieter.

Other businesses on the block (which CIM owns) include Pizza Rock, Triple George and Hot N Juicy Crawfish, perhaps the quietest restaurant in Las Vegas, with a reported 20 customers a day.

As for Hogs & Heifers, ownership insists it’s “getting ready” for its new location, described as “not announced yet, so please be patient.”

You can see more photos of the bar’s plentiful tchotchkes being packed up on their Facebook page.

At Downtown Grand, things have gone from weird to even weirder.

As we were the first to share, Penske Media Corp. was supposed to be buying Downtown Grand to make it Rolling Stone Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. Recently, however, there’s been crickets, with one casino executive saying, “Time kills deals.”

Exclusively: The deal is dead.

In this case, it wasn’t time. More in our next story.
