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. 

This outdoor bar takes it cue from Brazilian street parties with bands, DJs and bartenders spinning bottles in front of Harrah's. One of the rowdiest parties near the sidewalk on the Las Vegas Strip. Carnaval Court is free and open daily from 12 noon to 3am. 

We already know video games are big business. Now they've become their own form of competitive sport. Las Vegas is fast becoming a hub for esports. Visit the HyperX Esports Arena at the Luxor, a two-level venue that hosts tournaments, special events, and stations for anyone to play.

Axe throwing is growing in popularity, especially in Las Vegas. Put your lumberjack-worthy skills to the test at venues like Axe Monkeys east of the Strip (which also includes a "rage room" for smashing computers, glass bottles, and other breakable items) and Axehole Vegas at the Neonopolis on Fremont Street (offering axe throwing, a rage room, and beer and wine on site). Axe Monkeys is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and until midnight Friday–Saturday. Axehole Vegas is open daily, typically from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m., and until 2 a.m. on weekends.

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.

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.

It's hard to find a more fun place to drive golf balls in Las Vegas. Located behind the MGM Grand, Topgolf has three levels of hitting bays plus food, drink and even a couple swimming pools. The Las Vegas Strip serves as the backdrop and is especially colorful at night. Topgolf also hosts special events like concerts by national acts and sports viewing parties. 

Hours are from 9am to 2am.
