For nearly two decades, Blue Martini has drawn tourists and locals alike to its second-story space at Town Square with DJ sets, hookah service, and buzzy happy hours — including open bar nights for women. On Sunday, July 20, the longtime nightlife staple closed its doors, with plans to reopen on the Las Vegas Strip in spring 2026.

Las Vegas locals who turned 21 any time in the past 18 years likely have a story about a night out at Blue Martini — usually involving choking down a first taste of hookah, throwing down sugary shots from the banging happy hour, or running into years-forgotten friends while navigating the packed rooms. The bar was also known for its Noche Azules Thursdays, neo-soul Sundays, and various after-parties.

The bar announced the closure in a farewell statement on Instagram, which reads, “But this isn’t goodbye. It’s simply a thank you. For 18 amazing years & being part of our journey with an invitation to return and create new memories on the [next] chapter.”

Neighboring Town Square bar Stoney’s Rockin’ Country will remain open through the end of 2025 before closing and relocating to a 19,000-square-foot bar at Sunset Station Hotel Casino in Henderson in 2026
