Shrimp cocktail · Las Vegas
Vegas's 99-cent mascot: cold-poached shrimp, horseradish-laced cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge served in a sundae glass at downtown casinos since 1959, still pulling crowds at Du-par's on Fremont Street.
The 99-cent shrimp cocktail debuted in 1959 at the Golden Gate Casino on Fremont Street, a loss-leader to keep gamblers at the tables. Within a decade every downtown casino ran a version. The Golden Gate retired the original recipe in 2017 (it had risen to $3.99 by then) but Du-par's Restaurant at the Golden Gate brought it back. The plate is canonical Vegas: cold-poached shrimp in a parfait glass, classic tomato horseradish sauce, served with a lemon wedge and oyster crackers. The Peppermill on the Strip and several downtown counters still run it for under $10.
