The Las Vegas skyline is most spectacular from above, and the rooftop bar scene has grown to match the demand for elevated views. Here are the best options from free-to-enter to budget-be-damned.
Top Picks
- APEX Social Club at Palms — The best 360-degree view of Las Vegas from a bar. 56th floor.
- Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay — 64th floor, stunning views, members-preferred but open to public most nights.
- Skyfall Lounge at Delano — 64th floor Strip view, very elegant, reservations recommended.
- Drai's Beachclub (daytime) — The rooftop pool bar at the Cromwell is the best Strip-level view.
- The Cosmopolitan's The Wicked Spoon terrace — Boulevard Lounge has Strip views at reasonable prices.
What to Expect Pricewise
Rooftop bars in Las Vegas average $18–28 per cocktail, with most requiring a two-drink minimum or table reservation on weekends. The views justify the premium, but budget accordingly — a round of four cocktails at a rooftop bar easily exceeds $120 with tip.
