✨ Step Back in Time: Experience Vintage Vegas at The Starlight Plaza

November 3, 2025

Las Vegas has a new hotspot that blends nostalgia, nightlife, and history — and it’s lighting up Downtown. The Mob Museum’s new Starlight Plaza, unveiled on October 10, invites guests to sip, sway, and socialize under the neon glow of Old Vegas. Designed with a vintage Rat Pack–era vibe, this outdoor drinking and event space captures the glamour and grit of a bygone era — where showgirls shimmered, jazz ruled the night, and cocktails told stories of their own.

Every corner of Starlight Plaza feels like a tribute to Las Vegas’s legendary past. Local artist Derek Douglas set the tone with eight large-scale murals depicting classic scenes of showgirls, gamblers, and entertainers — a vibrant homage to the city’s golden age. Combined with live Latin jazz bands, mood lighting, and nostalgic décor, the plaza feels like a time capsule with a modern twist.

Thursday – Sunday | 5 PM – 7 PM

During happy hour, guests can sip on $5 vintage cocktails, each one a story in a glass — crafted to perfection and steeped in history.
