Got a special celebration coming up or just craving a drink at the nearest bar that’s cute enough to stop by?
Yes, there is an endless sea of bars and lounges on the Las Vegas Strip — which can be super stressful to sort through — but we’re here to make things easy for you.
Even after Papu moved home from Vegas, we’ve taken many more trips to Vegas and visited so many new cocktail bars and lounges over the years. Some were magical (aka the ones we’ve included here), while others were quite… forgettable.
In this guide, we’ve rounded up our favorite drinking spots that are the perfect mix of cute decor, immersive atmospheres, creative cocktails, good music, and ALL the vibes.
Superfrico
Where: The Cosmopolitan
Superfrico, brought to you by Spiegelworld (the creative minds behind the amazing show Absinthe), promises an unforgettable fusion of “Italian American psychedelic” drinks, cuisine, and entertainment. In fact, they’ve even deemed themselves “Las Vegas’ most Las Vegiest place”.
This restaurant, located at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, offers patrons a front-row seat to the madness, with performers weaving in and out of the kitchen and dining areas.
With themed bars, lounges, and dining rooms galore, expect wall-to-wall eye candy and impromptu mini shows across the entire venue — all with a bumpin’ soundtrack courtesy of the Strip’s only all-vinyl, all-the-time DJ.
You can have dinner or just come for drinks. Either way, you’re going to see some pretty interesting stuff while you’re there!
Vanderpump Cocktail Garden
Where: Caesars Palace Las Vegas
Lisa Vanderpump brings to Caesars Palace Las Vegas the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, the newest hotspot featuring a hand-crafted cocktail menu and a selection of small bites.
The coolest part is that this cocktail bar is built to look like you’re in a little garden oasis. The drinks are bright and colorful, and so is the food! Expect fresh floral garnishes that serve to bring the garden to the plate.
To get you started on drinks, get The English Garden, made with Hendrick’s gin, elderflower, basil, lemon & lime, black pepper, lavender, celery bitters, and Aquafaba. It’s cute and delicious at the same time!
If you’re feeling more like wine, try Lisa Vanderpump’s very own rosé. With a nose of red currant, pepper and sweet citrus, this dry classic-style wine is a tribute to the best wines from Côtes de Provence area.
Vanderpump à Paris
Where: Paris Las Vegas
Vanderpump à Paris is a world of total glamour and sophistication. This Vegas outpost is another one of Lisa Vanderpump’s creations, a chic cocktail lounge (reminiscent of an old Parisian courtyard) that’s easily one of the most picturesque spots on all of the property.
You’ll find lots of stylish Parisian-inspired décor, whimsical and unique cocktails, and an energetic, buzzing atmosphere perfect for a night out on the town. Sip on a refreshing LVP Sangria or a signature cocktail while soaking in the glamorous ambiance of this must-visit hotspot.

Cheri Rooftop
Where: Paris Las Vegas
Looking for some Insta-worthy views and a laid-back vibe to kick off your night in Vegas? Head up to Cheri Rooftop, the hidden gem atop Paris Las Vegas.
This spot used to be the Chateau Nightclub, but ever since that’s closed, the space has been transformed to be the Chéri Rooftop Lounge. And it’s been a hit, especially with bachelorette parties and girls’ night celebrations!
This rooftop experience blends a welcoming ambiance with craft cocktails and light snacks — all served under the Eiffel Tower.
Sip on one of their signature cocktails and soak in panoramic views of the Strip and the Bellagio Fountains while lounging in plush seating surrounded by lush greenery. It’s hip, it’s trendy. There’s a lot to love about this nightlife spot.
Golden Monkey Tiki Lounge
Where: Resorts World
There are at least 15 bars all spread out throughout Resorts World, which is a lot of bars for one resort! One of the bars that we find more interesting (if you like island-inspired drinks) is the Golden Monkey Tiki Lounge.
This little oasis will transport you to an exotic paradise.. and you don’t even need to leave Vegas for it. Once you’re inside, you’ll find yourself surrounded by lush greenery, bamboo accents, and an atmosphere that’ll transport you to the Polynesian islands.
The Golden Monkey Tiki Lounge is located near the front desk of the Hilton/Conrad at Resort’s World.
PRO TIP: When you arrive, don’t be surprised when you walk into the upscale and darkly-lit atmosphere. This is “modern tiki”. For real traditional Tiki, you can head off-strip to two of our favorite tiki spots: Golden Tiki in Chinatown or Frankie’s Tiki Room on Charleston!

Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den
Where: Resorts World
Ready for speakeasy vibes? Head to Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den — discretely tucked away in Resorts World’s Famous Foods.
This spot is for people who appreciate the art of mixology. It’s also got your classic speakeasy vibes — dimly lit corners, classic leather seats, and an air of sophistication that whispers exclusivity.
The unmissable experience? Let the skilled mixologists surprise you with the Bartender’s Choice. You pick the spirit, the bartender makes you a surprise drink.
Drinks are on the pricier end here, starting at $21 a pop, but for the art of mixology, they just might be worth it!
Chandelier Bar
Where: The Cosmopolitan
Head to The Cosmo to experience the glitz and glam of Vegas at The Chandelier Bar, a cocktail hotspot adorned with crystals everywhere.
You can explore 3 different levels at The Chandelier, each one giving you a different perspective of the chandelier that you’re “sitting inside”.
Sip on one of their signature cocktails such as the #FeltCute, made with Porter’s Old Tom Tropical Gin, Giffard Lychee, Clement Mahina Coconut, Lime, Peychaud’s, and Hibiscus Ginger Beer. For a twist on a classic, try their Smoked Rosemary Old Fashioned for a truly unforgettable drinking experience.
If it starts to get too crowded, we like to head to the middle level, known as “Inside the Chandelier”, which is a little quieter.
Ski Lodge
Where: The Cosmopolitan
The Ski Lodge at The Cosmopolitan will transport you to a cozy alpine retreat no matter what the weather is outside. It can be a Christmas in July escape for you — if you know where to find it.
With its cabin-style decor and warm, inviting atmosphere, this winter-themed speakeasy lounge captures the essence of the world’s finest ski resorts.
Once inside, you’ll be greeted with the city’s most sophisticated cocktail and pizza program, curated by renowned mixologists Leo Robitschek and Mauro Villalobos, and crafted by Chef Anthony Falco.
To get there, head to the second floor of the Chelsea Tower next to Superfrico. Look for a door that exudes… winter skiing vibes. Just remember, this winter-themed bar is open to guests 21 and over only.
Ghost Donkey
Where: The Cosmopolitan
Ghost Donkey: Mezcal & Tequila Bar is yet another speakeasy concept inside of The Cosmo. At this point, are you even surprised? There are so many “hidden” experiences within the resort!
This tequila and mezcal lounge features a menu inspired by the alluring ingredients and flavors of Mexico, creating a true fiesta-like experience. We recommend you pair your tasting flight or cocktail with their signature Truffle Nachos to elevate your experience that much more.
Need help locating Ghost Donkey? Head to the back of Block 16 and look for the door that has a colorful donkey painted on it. The food hall is on the second floor of the Boulevard Tower.
Minus5 Ice Bar
Where: Mandalay Bay | The Venetian Resort Las Vegas | The LINQ
Beat the heat at minus5 Ice Bar, a winter wonderland of 100 tons of custom-carved ice, complete with drinking glasses, walls, seats, and sculptures made of ice. This is the one place where your beer actually gets colder as you drink it!
Ice Bar is a ton of fun when it comes to photos because they give you fur coats to stay warm while you’re in the bar. These fur coats are going to be perfect for your selfies and your commemorative Vegas IG post.
There are locations at The LINQ, The Venetian, and Mandalay Bay.
Juliet Cocktail Room
Where: The Venetian Resort Las Vegas
The Venetian is home to a lot of cocktail bars that specialize in mixology, but we think Juliet Cocktail Room is the trendiest!
Head to this refined lounge if fancy cocktails and live music are what you’re after. The drinks here really take center stage here. Every drink is an experience for the senses! From twists on classics to innovative creations, the bartenders (ahem, mixologists) at Juliet know how to deliver. Plus, you can enjoy savory small bites that keep your cravings satisfied.
Live music on Fridays and Saturday nights creates an entirely different vibe. A baby grand piano and a drummer play a range of genres and eras of music. As the night progresses, live DJs take over, spinning all the best tracks.
Skyfall Lounge
Where: Mandalay Bay
If you’re searching for a rooftop bar to relax at after a long day of exploring, there’s no better place than Skyfall Lounge. Perched on the 64th floor of the Delano Las Vegas tower of Mandalay Bay, this chic and sophisticated lounge offers good food, good drinks, good vibes, and panoramic views of the Las Vegas skyline.
In addition to epic Strip views, expect dramatic interiors, chilled-out music, creative plates, and artisan cocktails. Enjoy the laid-back atmosphere, while the resident DJs spin easygoing tunes and eclectic beats on Friday and Saturday nights.
The Skyfall menu is a collaboration between Chef Alain Ducasse and the Skyfall bar team — so you know they put some thought into creating the menu! Light bites and shareables are served until 10:30PM.
Foundation Room
Where: Mandalay Bay
Another upscale nightlife experience at the Mandalay Bay is the Foundation Room, a sister venue of House of Blues. Foundation Room is a luxurious rooftop venue on the 63rd floor with cushy seating and wooden walls, accented by overhead chandeliers. It’s a whole vibe up there.
Once you make your way up to the tippy-top of the hotel, you can choose to relax in the indoor lounge area or step outside to the outdoor patio for a true Vegas experience.
The Foundation Room features live music and entertainment, with a lineup of talented DJs and performers. If you’re looking for a more exclusive experience, you can reserve a private room or table for your group.
You can choose to pair your epic Las Vegas Strip views with food or drink, or both! You can of course expect drinks to be great, but the food here is also super creative and delicious.
