Everyone has a different party vibe. Some like a low-key kickback, some prefer a high energy dance-a-palooza, and some would simply prefer a beer and some live music in a swanky setting. Luckily, no matter what you prefer, Las Vegas has it all. And if you’re having a hard time choosing, why not put a little faith in the stars?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge (Resorts World Las Vegas. 702.676.6013. rwlasavegas.com)
For the sign who loves to bask in adoration, what’s more fitting than a party centered around … well, you? That’s right, stop by Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge at 10 p.m. on July 25 for a celestial celebration of loyal and loving Leos.
The lions of the hour will receive a complimentary star sign necklace and a welcome cocktail, and that’s just the beginning of the fun. Any day of the week, Gatsby’s offers some of the best vibes you can find with live DJs and a glowing ambience that just puts you in a great mood. Libations and light bites flow from the lively bar all night long while party animals bounce from plush couches to high-top tables and the dance floor, creating the perfect setting for charismatic, cosmic cats. Not to mention, the bar sits in the heart of one of the coolest properties on the Strip, letting the outside world quite literally revolve around you for a spell.
Indulge in a bit of yourself, Leo, with the fittingly themed cocktail of the evening, the Sunset Majesty, a bright and punchy concoction of Tres Generaciones tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and cranberry juice. In a room full of radiant, vivacious spirits, you’d be hard-pressed to avoid making friends, so why not order a shareable cocktail for you, your squad and all of the new lions you may meet? Try the Champagne Bubble Bath, made with The Botanist gin, Aperol, lime and pineapple juices, Monin strawberry liqueur and rose syrup, all topped with champagne and edible rose petals and served in a small, bathtub-shaped vessel complete with floating rubber duckies. It’s the perfect showstopper to share on your LNO (Leos Night Out, obviously).
Reservations are not required but seriously recommended here. It’s one of the most poppin’ places to party at the property, and it would only be appropriate for the royalty of the cosmic jungle to be on the list.
