What is BAD ELF Pop-Up Bar?

Las Vegas Christmas Bar

As the story goes, a gang of spirited elves has chosen to add holiday flair to Shady Grove Lounge to make it look a bit more like the North Pole.  Throughout the bar, visitors can get into the holiday spirit with string lights, wrapped presents, oversized ornaments, and dozens of elves suspended from the ceiling. A cozy fireplace with a Christmas tree nestled in the corner creates the perfect photo backdrop.

Even the iconic Airstream – the focal point of the award-winning lounge – is decked out in festive red and green kitsch, complete with snow-covered Christmas trees, elves, presents, and Santa and his reindeer on the roof.

The bar was inspired by tales of the Shelf Elf – so be sure to keep an eye out for a few of the sprites throughout the space.  In fact, many of the elves on display were sent to Las Vegas by fans throughout the nation, after Silverton put out a call offering to officially “retire” family “Shelf Elves” at the casino.

Whether you’re naughty or nice, get ready for an elfin good time!

BAD ELF Pop-Up Christmas Bar opens on Friday Nov. 4, 2023.

Silverton In the News: Shelf Elf Retirements

Christmas is Coming!

Elf on a ShelfAt Silverton HQ, we’re putting the finishing touches on our holiday plans.  Topping the list is the return of BAD ELF, our pop-up bar at Shady Grove.  This over-the-top Christmas spectacle now has a new tagline “For Rebels without a Claus.”  Why not?  This year, the bar will also be home to several retired shelf elves.

As this recent Las Vegas Review-Journal article  shares, we’ve put out a call to parents who are weary of another year of nightly Elf on a Shelf duties — moving the pixie into increasingly creative spots every night.  If you think it’s time for your elf to retire to Las Vegas… we have a spot for him or her.

For more details on Elf Retirements, see our blog post.

For more details on how to reserve BAD ELF for your Las Vegas holiday party, Christmas lunch, or after-work happy hour, please email Gina.Garcia@silvertoncasino.com or call 702.263.7777.

Shelf Elf Retirements

Elf  Retirements

As a special service to parents who have grown weary of their family’s Christmas “Shelf Elves,” Silverton Casino in Las Vegas is offering Elf Retirements, giving a new home to the retiring pixies.  The casino is offering to help parents looking to “officially” retire their elves, allowing them to take a spot at the BAD ELF pop-up holiday bar – the home to all rebels without a Claus.

Las Vegas Christmas BarThe bar, which is open seasonally in November and December, is an over-the-top holiday spectacle. Throughout the bar, holiday visitors are mesmerized by thousands of string lights, oversized ornaments, and dozens of “retired” elves watching from the ceiling above.  As a finishing touch, a full-sized Airstream trailer is decked out in festive red and green garland, complete with plastic reindeer on the roof.

Those who wish to retire their elves and  mail them to the casino will receive in return:

  • An “official” retirement certificate
  • A voucher good for a complimentary cocktail during their next visit to Las Vegas
  • Silverton Casino will donate an item to a Las Vegas charity gift drive on their behalf.

To help justify the absence of their “Shelf Elf” at home this holiday season, Silverton will provide additional “tongue-in-cheek” letters that can be  shared with family members – including notes from the elf raving about retirement, and even photos of the elf’s new Las Vegas friends.

Bad Elf Las Vegas

The Shelf Elf Phenomenon

Elf on a ShelfThe Shelf Elves are part of an interactive “hide ‘n seek” game that has grown into a holiday tradition among families with young children.  Most elves are acquired as part of an “Elf on a Shelf” boxed set, which has sold more than 13 million copies since it was first published in 2005.  As part of the tradition, the little sprite shows up in creative spots each morning and serves as Santa’s “eyes and ears” throughout the holiday season.

After more than a decade of popularity, many parents have become exhausted at maintaining their elf’s nightly movements throughout the season, leaving them looking for a graceful way to end the holiday tradition – a convenient way to retire the little elf.


Making Arrangements for Shelf Elf Retirement

Those wishing to send their Shelf Elf to Las Vegas should include a note that contains the elf’s name, hometown, and a physical address to send the certificate and drink voucher.

The address is:

Shelf Elf Retirement HQ
Silverton Casino
3333 Blue Diamond Rd.
Las Vegas, NV  89139
