Looking to mix drinks with great scenery?

Drinking will always be popular in Las Vegas, but it’s even better with a great outdoor view. Fortunately, Sin City has an incredible collection of rooftop bars and lounges. Some specialize in craft cocktails, some specialize in beer, but they all remain hot destinations for those who love to hang out and socialize over a drink.

The Best Rooftop Bars for Outdoor Drinking in Las Vegas

Best Rooftop Bar for Romance

Allē Lounge on 66

Allē Lounge on 66 (formerly known as Starlight on 66) is the perfect place to get away from the crowd with someone special. Located on the 66th floor of Resorts World, the lounge is stylish and sophisticated with a fantastic lineup of craft cocktails, especially when ordering from the Old Fashioned cart. Take a seat at the bar or snuggle up on a couch while soaking in the Vegas views. There’s also caviar service if you want to go the extra mile. Step out onto a small open-air patio and snap a few pics you’ll enjoy long after the night is over.

Best Rooftop Bar in Fremont East

Commonwealth

This two-story cocktail lounge is perfect for escaping the usual tourist traps associated with the nearby Fremont Street Experience.

Reservations are required. So contact Commonwealth for the latest updates.

Best Rooftop Lounge with a View of the Airport

Foundation Room

The Foundation Room removed its controversial Far East decor and Buddha statues, but the venue remains as stylish as ever. Located on the 63rd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort, the Foundation Room has a comfortable outdoor patio with jaw-dropping views of the Strip and Harry Reid International Airport. Book a reservation for a full meal in the restaurant area or just enjoy the DJ and drinks in the lounge. The menu includes high-end cocktails and Asian-inspired cuisine.

Best Rooftop Bar Near T-Mobile Arena

BrewDog

BrewDog is a multi-level beer hall and gastopub across the street from the Park MGM resort on Las Vegas Boulevard, That means it’s just steps away from the T-Mobile Arena, making it a busy place to enjoy a few drinks before or after a Golden Knights game. Make sure to request a table on the rooftop deck. BrewDog makes its own small-batch beer on site, but the list is huge with local and regional breweries represented. You’ve got plenty of wine and cocktails to enjoy as well. The food is heavy on classic bar favorites, including burgers and soft pretzels with a few fun surprises like lobster-topped French Fries and Yorkshire Pudding.  

Best Rooftop Restaurant Patio

VooDoo Steakhouse & Lounge

VooDoo Steakhouse has stunning views of the Las Vegas Valley from the 50th floor of the Rio resort. Step outside on the spacious patio, where you can enjoy a drink between courses while soaking in the beauty of the Strip. The panoramic views are a showstopper. Stairs lead a level up to VooDoo Lounge, which remains “temporarily closed” since shutting its doors during the beginning of the pandemic.

Best Rooftop Bar for Live Entertainment

Ghostbar

Ghostbar has long been one of the best places in Las Vegas to enjoy a drink with a few (although its name was temporarily changed to Apex Social Club at one point). The lounge is just west of the Strip, perched on the 55th floor of the Ivory Tower at the Palms. The inside space has a cocktail bar with comfortable furniture for parties large and small. Step outside and enjoy the fresh air on the patio, surrounded by the lights of Las Vegas. DJs and live musicians perform at 10 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday.

Best Rooftop Bar at a Nightclub

Omnia

Omnia Nightclub is one of the hottest nightclubs in Vegas. It’s got great drinks, bottle service, a fancy chandelier that levitates above the dance floor and headliners like Steve Aoki and Illenium. It also has a beautiful rooftop deck with rows of tables and colorful views of the Strip from Caesars Palace. A bartender is always on standby to serve a cold beer or cranberry vodka. The patio is especially busy during DESEO Latin Sundays, the only dedicated Latin dance party on the Strip.

Best Rooftop Patio in Downtown Summerlin

Public School 702

Public School 702 is a casual gastropub with an expansive outdoor patio overlooking the Downtown Summerlin retail and dining complex. A great spot for those in the West Valley, the venue plays up its schoolhouse-theme with menus that look like test booklets and solar system models in the dining room. The beer list is strong and the weekend brunch is reasonably priced. No matter when you go, make a point to try the bacon cheddar tater tots with sriracha ketchup.

Best Rooftop Bar on the Fremont Street Experience

Legacy Club

The Legacy Club is one of the highlights of Circa, the tallest hotel on the Fremont Street Experience. The lounge is located on the resort’s 60-story rooftop with incredible views of both the Strip and Downtown. Soak in the neon lights from the main lounge or an outdoor deck with circular couches and fire pits. The entrance is decorated with busts of Las Vegas casino magnates form over the years and there’s a display of real gold bars with the exact value updated on a digital screen in real time according to the market. Order a craft cocktail and soak in the atmosphere.

Best Rooftop Sports Bar

Beer Park

Beer Park sits underneath the Eiffel Tower replica at Paris Las Vegas and has incredible views of the Strip with the iconic Bellagio fountains across the street. The 10,000-square-foot deck has plenty of room for hosting a large party or catching a big game on dozens of high-definition TVs. Beer Park serves up more than 100 beers, including 36 on tap. The food options include burgers, nachos and classic barbecue favorites. Beer Park has an adjacent indoor space with pool and other fun games that give the whole place a clubhouse feel.

Best Rooftop Bar with a Locals Happy Hour

Kona Grill

Kona Grill, near Summerlin in the Boca Park shopping complex, has been a longtime social spot for locals. The big draw is a rooftop deck that has its own bartender, although there’s plenty of space on the ground-floor patio too. Enjoy a choice of happy hours in either the early evening, late night or all-day Sundays. Ask about the latest discounts on wine, cocktails and sake shots. Happy hour deals on food include $3 potstickers, $6 sliders and $9 avocado egg rolls.

Best Rooftop Bar on a Shipping Container

Oak & Ivy

Oak & Ivy is part of the Downtown Container Park east of the Fremont Street Experience. Like all businesses in the outdoor complex, it’s built from an old cargo shipping container. That means there’s little room for hanging out inside. However, Oak & Ivy has a nice outdoor patio with extra seating on the bar’s rooftop. Just look for a small staircase. It’s an ideal perch for viewing Downtown sunsets and enjoying a sip of whiskey or a Mule prepared with house-made ginger beer. 

Best Rooftop Lounge with a Full Strip View

Skyfall Lounge

This sophisticated cocktail lounge specializes in handcrafted classics and punch bowls perfect for large groups. Located on the 64th floor of the Delano hotel, Skyfall Lounge also has an open-air patio overlooking nearly the entire Las Vegas Strip from the south end. Next-door sister restaurant Rivea has a similar patio and European cuisine by Chef Alain Ducasse.
