For stunning views of the Vegas skyline—from a fiery desert sunset to glowing neon lights—head to Skyfall. It doesn’t disappoint. Located high atop W Las Vegas, it’s a spot where you’ll just want to grab a glass of bubbly or a specialty cocktail and just peer out at the Strip through the floor-to-ceiling windows all evening long.
Skyfall has been a favorite for locals for well over a decade. A place to start the evening and bring out-of-town friends while watching the view, and wide-eyed first-timers. It’s the type of spot that draws you in and keeps you coming back.
Depending on the night, the vibe at Skyfall can range from quiet and loungey, with jazz music playing in the background, to lively and DJ-driven, with weekend evenings often transforming the lounge into a more party-oriented scene. Perfect for pre- or post-show cocktails, guests here chat up bartenders at the oval bar, linger in booths by the windows and take selfies out the patio.
The vibe: A laid-back lounge with long panoramic views and stiff drinks.
The drink: Guests here tend to gravitate to the signature drinks on the seasonal menu or take aim at creative cocktails. Try the Feathered Friend–a spicy tequila and citrus mix topped with a rose–or get spicy with a Thai-chili infused bourbon-based cocktail.
Time Out tip: On Friday and Saturday nights (9pm to midnight), a DJ provides a soundtrack for the evening.
