Downtown Las Vegas was the perfect place to celebrate former Mayor Oscar Goodman’s 80th birthday Thursday night.

And what better way to celebrate than with an 80-martini salute for Goodman, who turns 80 on July 26.

The celebration started at 6 p.m. Thursday with the 80-martini salute at the Fremont Street Experience. Frankie Scinta hosted the party.

The party had 80 bartenders pouring martinis.

The after-party included an $80 three-course dinner and music at Oscar’s Steakhouse in the Plaza.
