At 3rd and Ogden\, we’re less than a mile from the center of the Arts District …  that’s fuckin’ close folks\, even for your lazy ass.  Maybe you can ride one of those rental bikes and park it in front of Hogs?  The weather is nice this time of year\, the sidewalk and benches out front offer some of the best places to people watch in all of downtown.  Now shut the fuck up and let’s have a drink! \nPlease don’t ask for wine when ordering a drink at Hogs because we don’t fuckin’ have any… and no fucking whining. \nThe picture of the Hog & Heifers art below was created by our good friend Albert Chailosky\, who is still creating life-like sculptures similar to this Hogs piece…  we love you Albert!! \n \n \n  \n \nTHE HISTORY OF HOGS & HEIFERS SALOON \nThe idea for opening a bar and calling it Hogs & Heifers was conceived in\, of all places\, a bar. Allan Dell was a self-proclaimed functioning alcoholic and figured he spent enough time sitting at a bar\, that he might as well make some money while he sat there. Allan’s two friends and drinking buddies were a Master Carpenter and a Graphic Design Artist and he talked them into helping him build a bar. They would all drink for free and get laid regularly and for three broke guys in their early to mid twenties\, who could ask for anything more. Allan’s father agreed to finance his project if he could find an experienced bar owner to “father” him in the business. Enter Tom McNeil\, legend in the Dive Bar business. McNeil owned the Village Idiot in Manhattan’s East Side\, which was the Boys’ favorite watering hole\, where they could sit for hours drinking ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon for a $1.75 a can. Allan knew that he wanted to open a bar that had to do with motorcycles and women and the original logo did\, in fact\, include an illustration of a chopper. The Boys were trying to come up with a name\, while sitting in the Village Idiot one afternoon…”Hogs & something”. On the wall above the bar was a sign for a Heifer Auction\, and a heifer being a cow that has not yet been bred\, is essentially a virgin cow. The name Hogs & Heifers was born. The fact that the bar ended up being in a real meat market was simply due to the affordable rent at the time\, but it was a perfect match and had a great deal to do with the success of the business. \nHogs & Heifers Saloon was to be an all American classic country and southern rock-n-roll dive bar. Allan knew he wanted it to have the look and feel of a gin mill and that he wanted to hang “stuff” all over the walls. Other than that\, there was little else that he had thought about. He had a lot of friends who liked to drink and planned on throwing a party for them every night. Allan may never have imagined that it would turn into the famous bar it is today\, but it was absolutely his pride and joy and he considered it his greatest achievement and reveled in its quick success. \nHaving entered the picture prior to its opening\, Michelle Dell was the first bartender to be hired. The routine performed and style of dress worn by the bartenders behind the bar\, which has made Hogs & Heifers famous\, was born from Michelle’s heart. Hogs & Heifers opened in November of 1992 during an unseasonably cold winter. There was literally no heat source of any kind in the bar and it was so cold you could often see your own breath. Both Allan and Michelle believed in the notion of less is more when it came to dressing behind the bar and it was always freezing; did we mention the bar had no heat? Finally\, Allan bought these little space heaters that did next to nothing to provide heat and with Necessity being the Mother of all Invention\, Michelle began dancing on the bar–in the empty bar–as a means to keep warm. She would throw a few dollars in the jukebox and just get up on the bar and dance. Little did she know it would become the trademark theme of Hogs & Heifers and lead to countless celebrities dancing on the bar and donating their bras. The Julia Roberts photo was seen around the world and her bra still hangs there today\, albeit hidden beneath some 18\,000 bras! Michelle’s famous routine has inspired a Major Motion Picture and a league of copy cat Bars. \nEssentially\, Allan and Michelle\, and their friends\, were just a bunch of kids with nothing to lose and they threw a party that they enjoyed. They were fortunate and blessed that so many others would love to come to their party and would do so repeatedly.  The  two were married in Reno\, Nevada\, on November 16th\, 1993. Allan Dell passed away on June 7\, 1997. Hogs & Heifers continues to be run by Michelle Dell who was the sole proprietor of the New York City location.  She now lives in Las Vegas\, close to her favorite saloon! \nClick here for a virtual tour of our original New York City Location! \nABOUT MICHELLE DELL \nA third generation New Yorker\, Michelle grew up in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village in the early 70’s\, and was raised by her ever determined mother Susan\, and her brother Greg. Divorcing shortly after Michelle’s birth\, her mother went against the grain of the time choosing to raise her children as a single mother. She waitressed to pay the bills\, and in 1976 she and one of her co-workers\, opened a restaurant called Sabor. Thus\, began Michelle’s education in the service industry.\n\nSusan wasted no time in putting her children to work\, both as a means to keep them by her side and to provide them with the tools of consciousness and appreciation for the value of a hard earned dollar\, and earn it they did\, from setting the tables\, to washing the dishes. Michelle would prove that even as a child\, she was as capable (and in most cases more so) than most adults. At the age of nine\, Michelle could be seen riding her blue bicycle with mini ape hangers and a banana seat through the streets of Manhattan with\, unknown to any onlookers\, thousands of dollars in Amex chits in her pockets\, furiously pedaling her way to the bank to cash them in.\n \nOver the years\, Susan would go on to open several more successful restaurants in Manhattan and she would later spend 13 years working for Martha Stewarts Living magazine where she became a VP and Food Editor. Today she is a respected and sought after food stylist\, working with magazines such as Oprah\, Bon Appetit\, Essence & Domino to name a few.\n\nMichelle attended public schools in New York City\, and was accepted into the High School of Performing Arts where she spent her teenage years as a student in the Drama Department. She went on to attend SUNY Purchase\, where she spent her first year of College before transferring to Bennington College in Bennington Vermont\, on scholarship where she double majored in Literature and Psychology. Bartending and waiting tables throughout her college years\, Michelle managed to finance her education and make ends meet\, but she left Bennington in her senior year\, before completing her thesis\, due to a family tragedy.\n\nIntending to finish her thesis in absentia\, Michelle quickly set about finding work in Manhattan in order to pay her rent often holding several jobs waiting tables and bartending. Making ends meet\, quickly became Michelle’s priority and completing her thesis fell to the wayside…\n\nMichelle returned back to New York to stay. In early November 1992\, Michelle walked into what would soon become Hogs & Heifers Saloon while the bar was still under construction. Wearing blue jeans\, cowboy boots\, a cowboy hat\, a cropped denim jacket and a long white duster\, Michelle met Allan Dell\, who upon meeting her said “You’re pretty and you’ve got the look I want and if you steal from me\, I will throw you in the fucking river”. He hired her on the spot. Laughing about it both then and now\, Michelle says it was love at first site!\n \nAllan moved in with Michelle that December\, they were engaged to be married within six months and foregoing a huge wedding\, they eloped in Reno Nevada and were married on November 16th\, 1993 on a cliff overlooking Lake Tahoe by the esteemed Nevada Reverend\, Dr. Love.\n\nHogs & Heifers Saloon opened for business on the day after Thanksgiving in November 1992 with Michelle behind the bar. The early days were tough\, mostly because there were no customers\, and therefore no money. That being said\, there was also no heat and Michelle would come to work wearing tiny little leather halter tops in the dead of winter\, and with the always wet floor (rubber floor mats were not in the budget yet) Michelle’s motorcycle boot clad feet were cold\, wet and covered in cement! Alone in the bar and freezing\, Michelle started dancing on the bar as a means to keep warm. She says that her clogging on the bar was inspired by a scene from the movie A Coal Miner’s Daughter\, starring Sissy Spacek. Michelle had a love for country music and immediately felt at home at Hogs & Heifers. She would walk to work in the morning from her West Village apartment\, through the Gansevoort Meat Market and invite all of the meat packers and construction workers to come visit her at the bar\, and they did! Hogs & Heifers had a bustling day business\, long before the night time business caught on. On any given day you could walk into Hogs & Heifers before 6PM and find a bar full of meat packers\, iron workers\, construction workers\, plumbers\, electricians\, operating engineers\, dock workers\, city workers and so on.\n \nFollowing Allan’s death in 1997\, Michelle continued on as the sole proprietor of the New York City location until it tragically closed August 23rd\, 2015.\n\nIn 2003 the city of Las Vegas came knocking at our front door looking for a diamond in the rough to help launch its’ Downtown revitalization project.  Loving the odds\,  Michelle rolled the dice\, opening H&H in Vegas in 2005\,  and she is to be the heart and soul behind the daily mayhem\, madness\, and the sheer magic that is Hogs & Heifers Saloon.\n  \nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://hogsandheiferslasvegas.com/event/first-friday-downtown-las-vegas-3/ LOCATION:Hogs & Heifers Saloon Las Vegas\, 201 N 3rd Street\, Las Vegas\, NV\, 89101\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hogsandheiferslasvegas.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019_Hogs-Heifers-Saloon_000225-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Hogs & Heifers Saloon":MAILTO:candice@hogsandheifers.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190808T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190808T230000 DTSTAMP:20260609T153741 CREATED:20190727T161041Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190808T135608Z UID:34641-1565294400-1565305200@hogsandheiferslasvegas.com SUMMARY:WE'RE HIRING BARTENDERS!

As soon as he was old enough Lee was winning races following his parents footsteps. In 1997 Lee purchased a Prolite from the short course legend Johnny Greaves and set his sights towards winning on a bigger stage. Over the next 10 years Lee had a very successful career winning numerous races in stadiums and short courses across the country. Meanwhile\,  while his short-course and stadium career was booming\, he was also hired by Monster Jam in 2000 and was known as the best hired “shoe” in the business. …basically when someone needed to win a specific event\, Lee O’Donnell is who they called. When Ford called and needed a driver to fill in for their corporate driver Linsey Weenk\, Lee got the call\, and delivered big time winning one of the biggest events of the year in the Georgia Dome. When Marvel comics needed a driver to promote their new Ironman movie\, Lee is who they called and was their driver for 7 years. Fast forward to 2016 when VP Racing Fuels came to Monster Jam and asked\, “who’s your best racer?”….Lee gets the nod and man did he deliver. In 2017 Lee won the World Championship when he successfully performed the first FRONT FLIP in a monster truck and his stunt STILL garners millions of views on social media 2 years later. Just to prove a point\, he went on to back that up with a series Championship in 2018. \nNow that Lee is done with Monster Jam\, he is looking forward to delivering the same success in desert racing. Starting with 3 podium finishes in the world’s biggest desert races with help from his good friend Michelle Dell and Hogs & Heifers\, Lee is looking forward to continuing his winning ways. \nDriver: Damon Bradshaw – Bradshaw began racing at age 16. Winning Motocross races made Damon “the Beast from the East” Bradshaw a hero\, but his aggressive style and gritty desire in both two-wheel and four-wheel racing forever established him as a legend. Bradshaw has won multiple AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) events\, as well as international wins in Canada\, Japan\, Sweden and throughout Europe. Behind the wheel of the Monster Energy monster truck\, Bradshaw won 53 races\, 71 freestyle events\, 7 Double Downs (both racing and freestyle event wins) and set a new track record as the fastest qualifier. Bradshaw remains the youngest rider ever to sign a factory team contract and the first rider to have 9 consecutive Supercross wins. \nEstablished racers in their industries\, Lee and Damon have built a close relationship with the owners of the Mint 400 (Matt and Joshua Martelli) and King of the Hammers (Dave Cole) solidifying our credibility as a race team. Lee and Damon bring a diverse audience due to their Off Road and Supercross backgrounds. \nCo-Driver/Navigator: Michelle Dell – Owner/Proprietor of Hogs & Heifers Saloon\, Inc.  Michelle and her late\, first husband Allan Dell met in 1992 when Allan was building the bar that would just months later\, open its doors as Hogs & Heifers Saloon.  The two fell in love immediately and the combination of their individual shared innate aura that drew people to them\, brawn\, beauty\, brains and brazen spirits\, proved to be a dive bar dream team.  On a shoestring budget\, with no PR machine behind them\, it was with sheer will\, hard driven work ethic\, and a flair for the outrageous that propelled Hogs & Heifers’ explosive entry onto the NYC nightlife scene.  Once there\, they quickly became the front runner of the local\, national and international bar industry\, setting the new standard for an urban honky tonk\, and etching Hogs & Heifers Saloon’s name permanently on the map of the greatest dive bars the world over. \nBorn and raised in NYC’s West Village by a single\, working\, bohemian mother of two\, Michelle learned to navigate not just the urban landscape\, but the vast turbulence of the socio-economic division and the inspiring\, rebellious cultural and creative dynamism that was NYC in the late 60’s\, 70’s & 80’s.  Working and earning money for herself\, from an exceptionally young age\, Michelle possessed a natural entrepreneurial spirit and when her mother raised enough money to open a small 20 seat restaurant it was then\, at 8 years old that Michelle began her hands on education in what would become a life time of 42 years of experience in the service industry; from diners to fine dining and discos to dive bars\, there is little Michelle does not know how to do. \nIn 2003 the City of Las Vegas came knocking looking for a seasoned diamond\, purposely in the rough\, to lend its edge and raw\, outrageous spirit to help launch the City’s Downtown revitalization project.  Loving the odds\, Michelle became THE first person to roll the dice on the vision for Downtown Las Vegas\, opening H&H in Vegas in 2005. In 2015\, Michelle was forced to close her beloved NYC location\, after 23 years of successful operation\, due to land development and increasing rents.  She now resides permanently in Las Vegas and continues to be the heart and soul behind her team of naughty do-gooders and the sheer magic of the originality\, spontaneity and independence that is Hogs & Heifers Saloon. \nMichelle had her first taste of sitting in the co-drivers seat in 2016 when good friends\, Lee O’Donnell and Damon Bradshaw called her 3 weeks before the MINT 400 and told her that they had a car\, they would be in town\, they wanted to race and would she sponsor\, with the one condition that\, if she agreed\, she had to be one of the co-drivers.  Michelle jumped at the chance and with Lee\, Damon Tiffany and herself at the helm\, they pulled together a winning team in record time\, wrapped the Hogs & Heifers UTV and in their very first entry into the World’s Greatest Race in the Desert\, took their place on “The Box” to accept their win of 2nd Place in the UTV SxS (Class 3000) and placing 52 overall out of hundreds of entrants\, in multiple classes.   In late 2018\, Lee sent Michelle a text message to say he found THE car and did she want to buy it and start an official Hogs & Heifers Racing Team. A trip to Vegas for Lee and a discussion with Michelle over steaks at Binion’s and it was a done deal! \nMichelle’s unique ability to wear multiple hats and switch gears from engaging and compelling business woman\, badass biker and thrill seeker to sophisticated and elegant world traveler\, has shaped the 27 years of her established and world renowned brand\, Hogs & Heifers Saloon.  Her status as a pioneer\, community activist and benefactor of local charities has made her a highly respected member of her communities in both her home town of New York and Las Vegas.

Allan Dell was a self-proclaimed functioning alcoholic and figured he spent enough time sitting at a bar and that he might as well make some money while he sat there. Allan’s two friends and drinking buddies were a Master Carpenter and a Graphic Design Artist and he talked them into helping him build a bar. They would all drink for free and get laid regularly and for three broke guys in their early to mid twenties\, who could ask for anything more. Allan’s father agreed to finance his project if he could find an experienced bar owner to “father” him in the business. Enter Tom McNeil\, legend in the Dive Bar business. McNeil owned the Village Idiot in Manhattan’s East Side\, which was the Boys’ favorite watering hole\, where they could sit for hours drinking ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon for a $1.75 a can. Allan knew that he wanted to open a bar that had to do with motorcycles and women and the original logo did\, in fact\, include an illustration of a chopper. The Boys were trying to come up with a name\, while sitting in the Village Idiot one afternoon…”Hogs & something”. On the wall above the bar was a sign for a Heifer Auction\, and a heifer being a cow that has not yet been bred\, is essentially a virgin cow. The name Hogs & Heifers was born. The fact that the bar ended up being in a real meat market was simply due to the affordable rent at the time\, but it was a perfect match and had a great deal to do with the success of the business. \nHogs & Heifers Saloon was to be an all American classic country and southern rock-n-roll dive bar. Allan knew he wanted it to have the look and feel of a gin mill and that he wanted to hang “stuff” all over the walls. Other than that\, there was little else that he had thought about. He had a lot of friends who liked to drink and planned on throwing a party for them every night. Allan may never have imagined that it would turn into the famous bar it is today\, but it was absolutely his pride and joy and he considered it his greatest achievement and reveled in its quick success. \nHaving entered the picture prior to its opening\, Michelle Dell was the first bartender to be hired. The routine performed and style of dress worn by the bartenders behind the bar\, which has made Hogs & Heifers famous\, was born from Michelle’s heart. Hogs & Heifers opened in November of 1992 during an unseasonably cold winter. There was literally no heat source of any kind in the bar and it was so cold you could often see your own breath. Both Allan and Michelle believed in the notion of less is more when it came to dressing behind the bar and it was always freezing; did we mention the bar had no heat? Finally\, Allan bought these little space heaters that did next to nothing to provide heat and with Necessity being the Mother of all Invention\, Michelle began dancing on the bar–in the empty bar–as a means to keep warm. She would throw a few dollars in the jukebox and just get up on the bar and dance. Little did she know it would become the trademark theme of Hogs & Heifers and lead to countless celebrities dancing on the bar and donating their bras. The Julia Roberts photo was seen around the world and her bra still hangs there today\, albeit hidden beneath some 18\,000 bras! Michelle’s famous routine has inspired a Major Motion Picture and a league of copy cat Bars. \nEssentially\, Allan and Michelle\, and their friends\, were just a bunch of kids with nothing to lose and they threw a party that they enjoyed. They were fortunate and blessed that so many others would love to come to their party and would do so repeatedly.  The  two were married in Reno\, Nevada\, on November 16th\, 1993. Allan Dell passed away on June 7\, 1997. Hogs & Heifers continues to be run by Michelle Dell who was the sole proprietor of the New York City location.  She now lives in Las Vegas\, close to her favorite saloon! \nClick here for a virtual tour of our original New York City Location! \nMORE ON OUR OWNER MICHELLE:\n\nA third generation New Yorker\, Michelle grew up in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village in the early 70’s\, and was raised by her ever determined mother Susan\, and her brother Greg. Divorcing shortly after Michelle’s birth\, her mother went against the grain of the time choosing to raise her children as a single mother. She waitreSsed to pay the bills\, and in 1976 she and one of her co-workers\, opened a restaurant called Sabor. Thus\, began Michelle’s education in the service industry.\n\nSusan wasted no time in putting her children to work\, both as a means to keep them by her side and to provide them with the tools of consciousness and appreciation for the value of a hard earned dollar\, and earn it they did\, from setting the tables\, to washing the dishes. Michelle would prove that even as a child\, she was as capable (and in most cases more so) than most adults. At the age of nine\, Michelle could be seen riding her blue bicycle with mini ape hangers and a banana seat through the streets of Manhattan with\, unknown to any onlookers\, thousands of dollars in Amex chits in her pockets\, furiously pedaling her way to the bank to cash them in.\n\nOver the years\, Susan would go on to open several more successful restaurants in Manhattan and she would later spend 13 years working for Martha Stewarts Living magazine where she became a VP and Food Editor. Today she is a respected and sought after food stylist\, working with magazines such as Oprah\, Bon Appetit\, Essence & Domino to name a few.\n \nMichelle attended public schools in New York City\, and was accepted into the High School of Performing Arts where she spent her teenage years as a student in the Drama Department. She went on to attend SUNY Purchase\, where she spent her first year of College before transferring to Bennington College in Bennington Vermont\, on scholarship where she double majored in Literature and Psychology. Bartending and waiting tables throughout her college years\, Michelle managed to finance her education and make ends meet\, but she left Bennington in her senior year\, before completing her thesis\, due to a family tragedy.\n\nIntending to finish her thesis in absentia\, Michelle quickly set about finding work in Manhattan in order to pay her rent often holding several jobs waiting tables and bartending. Making ends meet\, quickly became Michelle’s priority and completing her thesis fell to the wayside…\n\nMichelle returned back to New York to stay. In early November 1992\, Michelle walked into what would soon become Hogs & Heifers Saloon while the bar was still under construction. Wearing blue jeans\, cowboy boots\, a cowboy hat\, a cropped denim jacket and a long white duster\, Michelle met Allan Dell\, who upon meeting her said “You’re pretty and you’ve got the look I want and if you steal from me\, I will throw you in the fucking river”. He hired her on the spot. Laughing about it both then and now\, Michelle says it was love at first site!\n\nAllan moved in with Michelle that December\, they were engaged to be married within six months and foregoing a huge wedding\, they eloped in Reno Nevada and were married on November 16th\, 1993 on a cliff overlooking Lake Tahoe by the esteemed Nevada Reverend\, Dr. Love.\n \nHogs & Heifers Saloon opened for business on the day after Thanksgiving in November 1992 with Michelle behind the bar. The early days were tough\, mostly because there were no customers\, and therefore no money. That being said\, there was also no heat and Michelle would come to work wearing tiny little leather halter tops in the dead of winter\, and with the always wet floor (rubber floor mats were not in the budget yet) Michelle’s motorcycle boot clad feet were cold\, wet and covered in cement! Alone in the bar and freezing\, Michelle started dancing on the bar as a means to keep warm. She says that her clogging on the bar was inspired by a scene from the movie A Coal Miner’s Daughter\, starring Sissy Spacek. Michelle had a love for country music and immediately felt at home at Hogs & Heifers. She would walk to work in the morning from her West Village apartment\, through the Gansevoort Meat Market and invite all of the meat packers and construction workers to come visit her at the bar\, and they did! Hogs & Heifers had a bustling day business\, long before the night time business caught on. On any given day you could walk into Hogs & Heifers before 6PM and find a bar full of meat packers\, iron workers\, construction workers\, plumbers\, electricians\, operating engineers\, dock workers\, city workers and so on.\n \nFollowing Allan’s death in 1997\, Michelle continued on as the sole proprietor of the New York City location until it tragically closed August 23rd\, 2015.\n\nIn 2003 the city of Las Vegas came knocking at our front door looking for a diamond in the rough to help launch its’ Downtown revitalization project.  Loving the odds\,  Michelle rolled the dice\, opening H&H in Vegas in 2005\,  and she continues to be the heart and soul behind the daily mayhem\, madness\, and the sheer magic that is Hogs & Heifers Saloon.\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://hogsandheiferslasvegas.com/event/honky-tonk-hangover-free-show-with-rhyolite-sound/ LOCATION:Hogs & Heifers Saloon Las Vegas\, 201 N 3rd Street\, Las Vegas\, NV\, 89101\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hogsandheiferslasvegas.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019_Hogs-Heifers-Saloon-113.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Hogs & Heifers Saloon":MAILTO:candice@hogsandheifers.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190825T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190825T200000 DTSTAMP:20260609T153741 CREATED:20190808T135149Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190808T135333Z UID:35171-1566756000-1566763200@hogsandheiferslasvegas.com SUMMARY:Las Vegas Guns & Hoses Charity Baseball Game at the Las Vegas Ballpark in Downtown Summerlin DESCRIPTION:From friend of the saloon Mike Tomko:\n\n\nBrothers and Sisters…. \n\n\n \nOn Sunday August 25th\, we will be having the Annual Las Vegas Guns & Hoses Charity Baseball game at the new Las Vegas Ballpark in Downtown Summerlin (next to the Red Rock Hotel and Casino).
