PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD DECEMBER 9, 1999
---------------------------
SOLICITATION AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
A Proxy in the accompanying form is being solicited by the Board of
Directors of Million Dollar Saloon, Inc. (the "Company") for use at the
Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held at the
Driskill Hotel, 604 Brazos Street, Austin, Texas 78701, The Chisholm Trail Room,
2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, on December 9, 1999, and at any adjournment
thereof. The Company will bear the cost of such solicitation, including charges
and expenses of brokerage firms, banks and others for forwarding solicitation
material to beneficial owners. In addition to the use of the mails, Proxies may
be solicited by officers and employees of the Company, without remuneration, by
personal contact, telephone or facsimile. Proxies, together with copies of this
Proxy Statement, are being mailed to stockholders of the Company on or about
November 10, 1999.
Execution and return of the enclosed Proxy will not in any way affect a
stockholder's right to attend the Meeting and to vote in person, and any
stockholder giving a Proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is
voted by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written revocation or duly
executed Proxy bearing a later date. A Proxy, when executed and not revoked,
will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. In the absence of
specific instructions, Proxies will be voted by the individuals named in the
Proxy "FOR" the election as directors of those two nominees named in this Proxy
Statement, "FOR" the proposal to ratify the appointment of S. W. Hatfield +
Associates as independent public accountants for the Company, and in accordance
with their best judgment on all other matters that may properly come before the
Meeting.
VOTING SECURITIES AND QUORUM
Stockholders of record at the close of business on November 10, 1999
(the "Record Date"), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On
the Record Date, the Company had issued and outstanding 5,731,778 shares of
$0.001 par value common stock (the "Common Stock"). The presence, in person or
by Proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Each holder of
Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share held. Neither the Articles
of Incorporation, as amended, nor the Bylaws of the Company provide for
cumulative voting rights.
The favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common
Stock present in person or by Proxy at the Meeting is required for the approval
of matters presented at the Meeting, except as to the election of directors, the
two individuals receiving the greatest number of votes shall be deemed elected
even though not receiving a majority.
<PAGE>
MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING
Proposal 1: Election of Directors
At the Meeting, two directors constituting the entire Board of
Directors are to be elected. All directors of the Company hold office until the
next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are
duly elected and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal.
It is the intention of the persons named in the Proxies to vote the
Proxies for the election of the nominees named below, unless otherwise specified
in any particular Proxy. The management of the Company does not contemplate that
any of the nominees will become unavailable for any reason, but if that should
occur before the Meeting, Proxies will be voted for another nominee, or other
nominees, to be selected by the Board of Directors. A stockholder entitled to
vote for the election of directors may withhold authority to vote for certain
nominees for director or may withhold authority to vote for all nominees for
director. The director nominees receiving a plurality of the votes of the
holders of shares of Common Stock, present in person or by Proxy at the Meeting
and entitled to vote on the election of directors, will be elected directors.
Abstentions and brokers non-votes (i.e., shares held in street name for which
the record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote) will not be
treated as a vote for or against any particular director nominee and will not
affect the outcome of the election.
The persons listed below have been nominated by the Board of Directors
as nominees for election to fill the two director positions.

Board of Directors and Committee Meetings Attendance
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Board acted on
three occasions by written unanimous consent of the Board of Directors in lieu
of meeting. The Company does not have any committees. The Company currently does
not pay a director fee for attending scheduled and special meetings of the Board
of Directors. The Company pays expenses of all of its directors in attending

Proposal 2: Ratify the Appointment of Independent Public Accountants
The Board of Directors of the Company has appointed S. W. Hatfield +
Associates, independent public accountants to serve as independent auditors of
the Company and to audit its consolidated financial statements for fiscal year
1999, subject to approval by stockholders at the Meeting. To the knowledge of
management of the Company, neither such firm nor any of its members has any
direct or materially indirect financial interest in the Company, or any
connection with the Company in any capacity otherwise than as independent public
accountants.
Although stockholder ratification and approval of this appointment is
not required by law or otherwise, and in keeping with the Company's policy that
its stockholders should be entitled to a voice in this regard as a matter of
good corporate practice, the Board of Directors is seeking ratification of this
appointment. If the appointment is not ratified, the Board of Directors must
then determine whether to appoint other auditors, and in such case, the vote of
stockholders will be taken into consideration.
The following resolution concerning the appointment of independent
auditors will be offered at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, that the appointment by the Board of Directors of
the Company of S. W. Hatfield + Associates to audit the consolidated
financial statements and related books, records, and accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year 1999 is hereby
ratified.
The enclosed Proxy will be voted as specified, but if no specification
is made, it will be voted in favor of the adoption of the resolution of
ratification.

On July 9, 1999, W-W Investments, L.L.P., a Texas registered limited
liability partnership ("W-W Investments"), acquired in a private transaction
460,001 shares of the common stock of the Company from Bjorn Heyerdahl, a former
officer and director of the Company, for $299,000 ($.65 per share) and
additionally acquired from Nina J. Furrh, a former officer and director of the
Company, 1,823,297 shares of the common stock of the Company for $1,427,637
($.7829975 per share). The 2,283,298 shares of the Company's common stock
acquired from the two stockholders represents approximately 39.8% of the
outstanding 5,731,778 shares of the Company's common stock.
W-W Investments is an investment partnership in which the Estate of
Edward L. Weaver and Steven A. Wheeler are partners. Linda S. Weaver is the

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("Section 16(a)"), requires the Company's officers, directors and persons who
own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to
file statements on Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 of ownership and changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and
greater than 10% stockholders are required by the regulation to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports which they file.
Based solely on a review of reports on Form 3 and 4 and amendments
thereto furnished to the Company during its most recent fiscal year and written
representations from reporting persons that no report on Form 5 was required,
the Company believes that no person who, at any time during 1998, was subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to the Company failed
to meet such requirements on a timely basis.
