The best rooftop bars in Las Vegas

What is it? The crown of downtown is this rooftop bar atop Fremont’s tallest resort.  

Why we love it: Circa’s shining star is the Legacy Club. The swanky lounge, which has a display of gold bars, sits 60 stories up and offers panoramic views of not only downtown but of the Strip just a few miles away. It’s the perfect spot to sip a specialty cocktail and see the sunset or to catch the Friday Fireworks (now through September 26).    

Time Out tip: From full moon socials to white parties and holiday gatherings, Legacy Club is always hosting special events.  

Address: 8 Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101

Opening hours: Sun–Thu 4pm–2am; Fri, Sat 4pm–3am

What is it?  Soak in the view from this 64th-floor lounge. 

Why we love it: For stunning views of the Vegas skyline—from a fiery desert sunset to glowing neon lights—head to Skyfall. Located high atop W Las Vegas, you’ll want to grab a glass of champagne or a specialty cocktail and just peer out at the Strip through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Depending on the night, the vibe at Skyfall can be quiet to DJ-driven.

Time Out tip: On Friday and Saturday nights (9pm to midnight), a DJ provides a soundtrack for the evening.

Address: 3940 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119

Opening hours: Daily 5pm–midnight

What is it? A rooftop bar with expansive Strip views. 

Why we love it: There may not be a more iconic spot to drink in Las Vegas than here. Ghostbar originally debuted in 2001, then disappeared briefly, only to return. The reincarnation of this popular haunt meets all expectations. Great drinks, a lively atmosphere and spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip from its perch on the 55th floor make this lounge a must-visit.

Time Out tip: The terrace is a cigar-friendly space with dozens of cigars, including some rare finds, available for purchase.

Address: 4321 W Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89103

Opening hours: Wed–Sat 9pm–close

What is it? An ultra-lounge with stunning panoramic views of the Strip, bold cocktails and live DJs. 

Why we love it: The recently reopened VooDoo Lounge arguably has one of the most spectacular views in the entire city. After being closed for several years, the iconic spot is back with its outdoor patio and the playful drinks longtime locals remember. Although currently only open on weekends, VooDoo Lounge brings back its iconic, innovative cocktails. That means strong shareable punch bowls and a bunch of signature cocktails. 

Time Out tip: VooDoo has no cover and is open to anyone over 21 years old.  

Address: 700 W Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89103

Opening hours: Fri–Sat 7pm– 2am

What is it? Blake Shelton’s live music honky tonk. 

Why we love it: Ole Red is a place where country music fans can catch live performances on the Strip. The massive, four-level restaurant and performance space–in front of the Horseshoe Las Vegas–has multiple bars and stages as well as a 4,500-square-foot rooftop. Not only does Ole Red serve up entertainment but it has plenty of Southern fried munchies like blackberry crispy chicken sliders, meatloaf and dry rub St. Louis-style ribs.    

Time Out tip: Last seating to order food is 9pm and Ole Red becomes a 21+ venue after 10pm.

Address: 3627 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Mon–Fri 11am–close; Sat–Sun 10am–close

What is it? A contemporary steakhouse with fresh seafood and a stunning patio. 

Why we love it: Ocean Prime has 18 locations but none of them has a view like Las Vegas. The outdoor terrace, situated four stories above the Las Vegas Strip near the Harmon Avenue intersection, is the perfect spot for brunch or an evening out. Visit for the prime steaks,  flown-in-fresh seafood and a fantastic wine program. 

Time Out tip: Jazz Brunch is offered every Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy live music and champagne on the terrace, with the bonus of free valet parking from 11am to 3pm. 

Address: 3716 S Las Vegas Blvd #401, Las Vegas, NV 89158

Opening hours: Mon–Thu 11:30am–10pm; Fri 11:30am–11pm; Sat 11am–11pm; Sun 11am–10pm;

What is it? A three-in-one space with an ice cream parlor, laidback lounge and lively patio.  

Why we love it: With colorful street art from floor to ceiling, climbing up the walls inside and murals out on the patio, there is a lot to like about the look of this downtown space. It’s an ice cream counter serving flavors like blackberry basque cake, pistachio brittle, and ube honeycomb that doubles as a two-story weekend nightclub with a patio overlooking Fremont Street.   

Time Out tip: Come for the ice cream and stay for the party. DJs and bottle service bring the weekends to life. 

Address: 517 Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101

Opening hours: Bar hours: Fri–Sat 10pm–close

What is it? A craft beer haven with Strip rooftop views. 

Why we love it: Within walking distance to T-Mobile Arena for VGK games or concerts, BrewDog is an excellent spot to start or end the night. The newly opened UnderDog Beer Hall utilizes the previously underutilized space below the rooftop bar. Stop in to shoot hoops at Pop-A-Shot basketball or for some skee-ball before heading upstairs to take in the view. BrewDog has dozens of craft beers on tap and mostly a pub-style menu of burgers and pizza. 

Time Out tip: Score discounts. If you live here or are attending a conference (show your badge), you’ll get 25 percent off all food and drinks. We also like wing Wednesday for all-you-can-eat chicken wings or the buffalo cauliflower veggie version for just $20.  

Address: 3767 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Sun 9am–11:30pm; Mon–Thu 10am–11:30pm; Fri 10am–12:30am; Sat 9am–10:30pm

A post shared by Oscar's Steakhouse (@oscarssteakhouselv)

What is it?  A downtown steakhouse that peers down Fremont Street. 

Why we love it: Technically, Oscar’s is not a rooftop, but it does have a small patio and some decent views, so it made the list. The dining room is situated inside the Plaza’s glass dome, offering guests a view of the Fremont Street light show. Here, guests tackle a typical steakhouse menu and enjoy a martini or two. 

Time Out tip: Check out the daily happy hour (5pm–7pm) when wine, cocktails and beers drop between $3 to $7 in price. 

Address: 1 Main St, Las Vegas, NV 89101

Opening hours: Daily 5pm–10pm

A post shared by Chéri Rooftop (@cherirooftop)

What is it? A French restaurant and bar under the half-scale Eiffel Tower.  

Why we love it: Chéri Rooftop likes to position itself as a Parisian garden party. It certainly nailed the location and features a distinctly French menu, including duck lettuce wraps, lobster beignets, and black truffle onion soup. But the rooftop gets all the glory. Sitting under the faux Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas, the outdoor deck comes alive on weekends with deejays and entertainment to accompany those views of the Bellagio Fountains.   

Time Out tip: Chéri offers a large daily brunch menu (9am–3pm). 

Address: 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Sun–Wed 9am–3pm; Thu 9am–9pm; Fri, Sat 9am–2am 

What is it? A no-frills center-of-the-Strip rooftop beer garden.  

Why we love it: The location, sitting just above the ground floor of Paris Las Vegas, is key to landing Beer Park on the list. While it plays fancy with views of the Bellagio Fountain, this is a simple beer garden where picnic tables sit on astroturf and guests drink beer flights, eat pub food and play bar games like giant Jenga, pool and darts. 

Time Out tip: With its tailgating vibes, it’s the perfect place to watch a college football game or the NFL.  

Address: 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Mon–Thu, Sun 11am–11pm; Fri, Sat 11am–1am

What is it? A nightclub with live music performances and a rooftop pool with Strip views.   

Why we love it: Drai’s has been a Las Vegas nightclub institution for decades. This version features a rooftop pool and swaying palm trees atop the Cromwell. With two levels of cabanas ringing the pool deck, the 60,000-square-foot rooftop club has elevated the pool party scene. Visit at night and dance under the stars.  

Time Out tip: Don’t want the night to end? Hit up Drai’s legendary after-hours lounge–an underground club in the Cromwell basement. 

Address: 3595 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Beachclub daily 12pm–5pm; Nightclub: Fri, Sat 10:30pm–3:30am

What is it? The Strat tower bar has one of the best sightlines in the city.  

Why we love it: This bar and restaurant lacks an imaginative design and buzzy atmosphere, but it’s worth the trip up the Strat tower just for the view. The lounge is located on the 108th floor on the far north end of the Strip and not only stares straight up the boulevard but gives long-range looks at the mountains surrounding the valley.   

Time Out tip: Visit for Sky High Happy Hour (Monday–Thursday, 3pm–7pm) for two-for-one cocktails and discounted admission to the outdoor Skypod observation deck.

Address: 2000 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89104

Opening hours: Mon–Thu 11am–midnight; Fri–Sun 11am–1am
