The Pink Ring is a partnership between the Bellagio and Bruno Mars, serving photogenic cocktails in a stylish environment with a heavy emphasis on live music. You never know when the “Just The Way You Are” singer might show up (especially during his residency dates at the Park MGM), but every night is a party. The lounge has a “no phones” policy to encourage social interaction without having to worry about snapping the perfect picture.

Located on the top floor of the Circa hotel, the Legacy Club has incredible 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Valley. Seating is available indoors or outside on a large patio with fire pits. Reservations are a must if you wish to score a table around sunset. The drink list is on the pricey side, but reasonable given the atmosphere. Decorations include a collection of gold bars and tributes to iconic casino operators from Vegas’ long history of gambling.

BrewDog has a prime location in the heart of the Strip, across from the Park MGM and in easy walking distance to the T-Mobile Arena. The brewpub occupies the third and fourth floors of the Showcase Mall with a rooftop deck to soak in stunning Strip views. Have fun with a 28-foot shuffleboard table or a vintage arcade game while sipping on one of the dozens of house brews on tap.

Fans of “Vanderpump Rules” and the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” will be eager to lineup for this high-energy lounge at Casesars Palace. The venture by TV personality and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump is vibrant and fun with chic decor and a stylish front patio courtyard. The food is colorful and the drinks skew on the sweeter side, making Vanderpump Cocktail Garden a must-visit during any girls trip to Vegas. If stiff libations aren’t your thing, try a glass of the signature rose. Heck, try a bottle.

Gold Spike in Downtown Vegas — just north of Fremont Street – has a Midwestern college town vibe. A fresh change of pace from the Strip, the venue has an indoor area (where DJs perform on weekends) and a large backyard for fire pits, beer pong and live bands.
