Ancient singers had no microphones, which meant audiences were quieter, and bringing a pet howler monkey to a performance was twice as irritating. Hoot and holler all you want with today's Groupon: for $6, you get admission for two to the Wildhorse Saloon (a $12 value). Today's deal is not valid during private or ticketed events.

Live bands strut across the stage each night, fueling revelry in the Wildhorse Saloon's 66,000-square-foot venue, which contains three floors of dancing, a restaurant, and a bar. In free nightly line-dancing lessons, patrons hike up their jeans and boogie in unison to the musical stylings of energetic musicians every evening of the week. Free billiard tables occupy hands between spontaneous bouts of rhythmic movement, and nearby shuffleboards settle dance-offs that have ended in a stalemate. Mingle under the establishment's multicolored, mounted stage lights, or bathe in the glow of one of the many flat-screen televisions.

Though not included in today's Groupon, Wildhorse also cranks twangy Southern smoke-house fare alongside libations from a multifaceted bar and restaurant, which slings late-night snacks with the hospitality of a matronly refrigerator.
