Raise the roof at Allē Lounge on 66, Resorts World Las Vegas’ sky-high destination for expansive views of the Las Vegas Strip. This intimate lounge is the ideal spot to conquer a fear of heights, as handcrafted cocktails and mouthwatering, globally inspired small plates distract from the 66-floor elevation. Cocktails that are as tasty as they are beautiful—like the gintinged Stardust or vodka-spiked Starstruck—put the happy in happy hour. Since drinking on an empty stomach is never a good idea, these sips can be paired with delicious bites, ranging from big-eye tuna tacos and brown-butter lobster rolls to crispy bourbon chicken and wagyu beef sliders. Resorts World Las Vegas resident performer Katy Perry has even been known to show up after a performance to enjoy a round of drinks or snag a spot in the DJ booth. 702.676.7766, rwlasvegas.com
At Chateau Rooftop, guests come for the party but stay for the view, which includes primo sights of Bellagio’s famed fountains. This 14,000-square-foot nightlife hot spot features a revolutionary sound and lighting system and VIP bottle service, enjoyed at the foot of the famed Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas. As a popular destination for birthday celebrations, bachelorette parties and corporate events, its lineup of entertainers includes DJs Westafa, Big Body Cisco and Swizz Beats. Chateau Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays provide a whole new appreciation for the weekend. 702.776.7777, chateaunights.com
The view from the top is always better, especially with a cocktail in hand from Mandalay Bay’s Foundation Room. This sophisticated spot serves stateof- the-art drinks crafted by master mixologists, including the Cucumber Zen, Perfect Gin & Tonic and the Ginza Fashioned. Dig into delectable dishes, like the Rosewood Farms wagyu New York strip or the Korean fried chicken and bao buns, while live entertainment ups the party factor. Renowned DJs—including Joe Maz, Crooked, C-LA and Sam I Am—take this electric, Strip-side destination to new heights. 702.632.7631, mandalaybay.mgmresorts.com

Zip up the elevator at Downtown Las Vegas’ crown jewel, Circa Resort & Casino, where the sleek Legacy Club can be found on its sky-high 60th floor. An homage to Las Vegas’ founding fathers, guests are greeted by a display of metal busts, depicting everyone from Steve Wynn to Jackie Gaughan. The swanky rooftop cocktail lounge attracts tipplers with a multitude of its unique features, including its panoramic views and 1,000-ounce gold collection. Whether unwinding by the terrace’s outdoor fire pit or admiring the Downtown skyline from inside, happy hour is undeniably elevated with a build-your- own Old-Fashioned offering and other Instagram-worthy sips. You can even play bartender by participating in Legacy Club’s Elevated Spirits craft cocktail course, a program that teaches visitors and locals alike how to craft three restaurant-approved cocktails. 702.247.2258, circalasvegas.com
From the ground floor to the rooftop, it’s all tip top at OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace. Designed by the awardwinning Rockwell Group, this 75,000-square-foot nightclub consists of an ultralounge, main room, mezzanine and, best of all, a rooftop terrace. This spot is literally “lit”—in addition to illuminated glass floor tiles on the outdoor terrace, performers like Steve Aoki (who will appear May 13 and 29) and Martin Garrix (scheduled for May 20, 24 and 27) frequently spin weekend tunes in the LED-laced DJ booth. Bigger is most certainly always better in the Entertainment Capital of the World—three lounges and breathtaking views of the Las Vegas Strip in an open-air, high-energy environment elevates the average nightlife experience. 702.785.6200, omnianightclub.com
Get lost in the sky at Delano Las Vegas’ Skyfall Lounge, serving fresh drinks and small bites in an intimate yet electric atmosphere. Sit back and relax with cocktails like the Cowboy Hunting or the Dust Storm while resident DJs mix an eclectic playlist. When hunger strikes, taste buds call for the rooftop’s charcuterie board, shrimp cocktail or Parmesan and truffle fries. Whether meeting before a show or simply just for a clink, this spot’s spirits and scenery are worth the elevator ride. 702.632.7575, delanolasvegas.mgmresorts.com
