Looking for a cool hangout where you can enjoy some good cocktails, ambience and fun? We’ve got plenty here in Las Vegas, but we’re going to help narrow down the choices.
Triple-digit weather is just part of the charm in this city; it makes walking into hotels with air conditioning that much more special. But a cool way to beat the heat, literally, is the Strip’s newest bar made of ice—Icebar at The Linq Promenade (702.586.8925). After putting on your choice of a faux fur coat or parka and some gloves, step inside the 1,200-square-foot bar made of 100 tons of ice and kept at a cool 23 degrees. Specialty cocktails are served in glasses made of ice, as are the seating, the bar and much of the décor.
Another cool spot, figuratively speaking, is the rooftop bar and lounge Beer Park at Paris(702.444.4500). The 10,000-square-foot indoor, living room-type space adds to the fun of the outdoor, picnic-style space with awesome views up and down the Strip as well as across-the-street views of the famed Bellagio fountains. A dozen beers on draft, more than 40 bottled and canned beers, wines and cocktails on draft and specialty cocktails give visitors plenty of drinking options. And enjoy creations from the grill like burgers and cheesesteaks.
While nightclubs are temporarily shuttered you can still get your groove on at Lily Bar & Lounge at Bellagio (702.692.5615). Every Friday and Saturday nights beginning at 10 p.m. guests can dance to live DJ sets; and during the week it’s more of a kick-back vibe with live musical performances Tuesday through Thursday. Lily continues to bloom with excitement by offering modern handcrafted, seasonal specialty cocktails created by master mixologists, in addition to classic cocktail selections and bottle service.
For spectacular views of the whole city, head 107 floors up The STRAT’s tower to 107 SkyLounge (800.789.9436). Surrounded by windows, this longtime favorite spot for locals and visitors offers 360-degree sights and is quite the romantic escape come nighttime. Or watch the sunset while enjoying half-off cocktails and food specials during the daily happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m.
