There's something for everyone on Fremont Street, especially if you're looking for a good drink. Oak & Ivy offers expertly made craft cocktails, while the Griffin is known for its cozy lounge vibe and strong drinks. See if you can score a spot inside the Laundry Room, the hidden speakeasy inside Commonwealth — text 702-701-1466 for a reservation. More to do downtown.

There’s nothing else quite like AREA15 in Las Vegas. The large mysterious warehouse near Interstate 15 is a mixed-use entertainment space, where you can sip cocktails under a glowing LED tree at Oddwood, check out massive art installations at Art Island, or soar through a virtual skyline at Birdly. AREA15 is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. 

Get a taste of old school Vegas at the Peppermill Lounge. Take a seat by the indoor firepit, surrounded by vintage neon lights. A neighboring diner has burgers, breakfast, and other greasy favorites. The Peppermill is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But you can take advantage of a long happy hour 3-6 p.m.

For a serene 23rd-floor escape, head to Hard Shake at Waldorf Astoria—weekdays offer a quiet setting perfect for intimate conversation; weekends bring a bustling atmosphere with crowds and energy. Open Wed–Thu & Sun 6 p.m.–12 a.m. More lounges

Time to place your bets! Las Vegas now has two major-league sports teams: The Raiders in the NFL and the Golden Knights in the NHL. While you can't currently attend the games in person due to the pandemic, you can still watch on TV at your favorite sports bar and place a bet at the nearest hotel sports book. Who knows, maybe you'll win big?
