Try bottomless brunch and new bar, Corduroy, in downtown Las Vegas

Downtown Project will open the doors to its newest watering hole, Corduroy, at 4 p.m. Saturday. The vibe is a nod to great dive bars, while the music will be heavy on rock, with Downtown Project’s director of marketing Bill Kennedy promising “no EDM, no modern rap.” A trippy bubble wall stands behind the bar, where Moscow Mules featuring house-made ginger beer are on tap, and there will always be three beers offered at $3 apiece. Cool touches include a DJ booth decorated with refurbished classic audio equipment, restrooms decorated with ‘80s hair-metal magazine art, a photo booth room and a tiny smoking “lounge,” complete with vintage cigarette machine. Corduroy is at 515 East Fremont St.
