Bars First, Then the Club

A great Vegas night usually starts with a few good bars before the main event. Below are the rooftops, speakeasies and iconic lounges we send groups to, grouped by what you are after. Most need no cover, so they are the perfect warm-up. When you are ready for a nightclub, we have your guest list or bottle service ready.

Rooftop & View Bars

Legacy Club

Circa (Downtown)

A polished, history-themed rooftop lounge on the 60th floor of Circa, with an indoor club room opening to a terrace and sweeping 360-degree views over downtown and the Strip. The downtown skyline pick.

Ghostbar

Palms

The reborn 55th-floor lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor deck looking over the whole valley, from Red Rock to the Strip. We book it directly, including tables.

Apex Social Club

Palms

An open-air rooftop social club on the 55th floor with skyline views, a DJ-driven vibe and bottle service. A livelier, see-and-be-seen rooftop.

Electra Cocktail Club

The Venetian

A vibrant, color-shifting cocktail bar with a huge digital wall, strong drinks and a social, pre-club energy right on the Strip.

Speakeasies & Hidden Bars

The Laundry Room

Commonwealth, Downtown

A genuine, reservation-only speakeasy hidden behind the Commonwealth bar on Fremont East, with a serious cocktail program and a strict no-phones, low-key vibe. Hard to get into, which is the point.

Ghost Donkey

The Cosmopolitan

A tucked-away mezcal and tequila den hidden inside the Cosmopolitan, glowing with string lights and known for nachos and agave cocktails. A great intimate stop before a club night.

Iconic Casino Bars

The Chandelier

The Cosmopolitan

A three-level bar built inside a two-story crystal chandelier in the middle of the Cosmopolitan, and one of the highest-grossing bars in the city. The signature Vegas cocktail-bar experience.

Minus5 Ice Bar

Strip locations

An everything-made-of-ice bar kept below freezing, with parkas provided and ice-carved seats and glasses. A novelty stop that groups love for photos.

Skyfall Lounge

Delano

A sleek rooftop cocktail lounge with panoramic south-Strip views, especially at sunset, and a refined drinks list. A grown-up, view-first option away from the megaclub crowds.

Las Vegas Bars: FAQ

What is the best rooftop bar in Las Vegas? +

For downtown skyline views, Legacy Club atop Circa is the standout; for a livelier rooftop with bottle service, Apex Social Club at the Palms; and Ghostbar at the Palms is the classic 55th-floor lounge. For a refined, view-first cocktail spot, Skyfall Lounge at Delano. Tell us your group and vibe and we will route the night.

What is the best speakeasy in Las Vegas? +

The Laundry Room, hidden behind Commonwealth on Fremont East, is the most serious reservation-only speakeasy in the city. Ghost Donkey, tucked inside the Cosmopolitan, is the easier-to-reach hidden bar and a great pre-club stop. Both are intimate, so plan ahead.

How do you get into The Laundry Room? +

The Laundry Room is reservation-only and small, accessed through the Commonwealth bar downtown, usually by texting for a same-week reservation and following a strict no-photos, no-standing policy. It books up fast. We can help you build a downtown night around it.

Do Las Vegas bars have a cover charge? +

Most casino bars, lounges and speakeasies have no cover; you pay for drinks. Rooftop lounges and party-leaning bars may add a cover or a minimum on busy nights or for a table. The nightclubs are where cover and table minimums really apply, and that is where we set up your guest list or bottle service.

Can you book a VIP table or bottle service at a bar? +

At the party-leaning rooftops and lounges, yes, we can arrange tables and bottle service, and Ghostbar we book directly. For the smaller cocktail bars and speakeasies it is walk-in or reservation. Either way, we can build the whole night, bars into a nightclub, with one host.

Which bars are best before a nightclub? +

Electra and the Chandelier at the Cosmopolitan, Ghost Donkey, and any of the rooftops make great warm-up stops before a club. Tell us which club you are headed to and we will plan a bar crawl that lands you at the right room with guest list or a table ready.
