d and we'll be open on most holidays. Monday through Thursday & Sunday closing hours will reflect customer traffic. The Great Escape is a WW2 theme family friendly restaurant and cocktail establishment. Our bar and bar back, circa 1942 was purchased from the original Old Frontier Casino in Las Vegas during the 1990's. Elvis Presley had his first concert at the Old Frontier and the Supremes their last. The casino and bar/ bar back was once owned by Howard Hughes in the 1960's. Imagine all the stars that once sat at this bar! Now, Ocotillo has a little piece of history in this small desert town.
