Description: The long gone Alpine Village Inn was located at 3003 Paradise Road, across the street from the Las Vegas Hilton. This famous place began serving German food in a downtown location in 1950, then moved four times before settling into its final location on Paradise, in 1970. This was a favorite place for locals and visitors alike to get a hot bowl of chicken soup, cold beer in a goblet, and seasoned cottage cheese to go with a small loaf of bread. The main 250-seat dining room was looked like of a Bavarian village, with wrought-iron grill-work, sloping roofs, the male staff workers all wore lederhosen and the waitresses wore long skirts like they just stepped off a St. Pauli Girl bottle.
