March is the time of year when Vegas weather is a roll of the dice, but odds are you’re in for several warm-weather days during your stay. And there’s no better way to enjoy a sunny afternoon on the Strip than by relaxing on a patio with an ice-cold drink. Lucky for you, options abound.

1. Beer Park (Paris, 702.444.4500) This rooftop bar feels like a friend’s backyard party, except it’s on the Strip. Enjoy a cool breeze and chill out with a frosty Budweiser (or your choice of more than 100 beers). And if you’re a sports fan, fix your eyes on a high-def TV and enjoy a game.

2. Legacy Club (Circa, 702.247.2258) You can admire the legacy of Vegas greats like Howard Hughes and Benny Binion at this lounge, but the beautiful outdoor terrace is worth equal praise. Intimate seating, fire pits and an unparalleled view of the Strip pair well with a menu of classic cocktails.

3. El Segundo Sol (Fashion Show, 702.258.1211) Lush trees and string lights set the tone for a relaxing ambience at this delicious Mexican restaurant’s outdoor patio. Order up a round of prickly pear margaritas, or opt for an import draft beer like Negra Modelo or Pacifico.

4. Topgolf Las Vegas (4627 Koval Lane, 702.933.8458) It’s more than just a glorified driving range—it’s an entire entertainment complex that includes five bars. So even if you stink at golf, you can still sit back, enjoy the view, sip on a refreshing cocktail and watch your friends slay some golf balls.

5. Rhumbar (The Mirage, 702.791.7416) It’s fitting that this cigar bar and lounge is at The Mirage, because its tropical outdoor setting is probably what you’d envision if you were stranded in a desert. Rum-based cocktails abound, such as the Rhumbar mojito, the Latin Manhattan or the Mai Tai.

6. PBR Rock Bar & Grill (Planet Hollywood Resort, 702.750.1685) If the weather’s nice on the patio, you’re going to want to order the Porch Pounder. Not only will it take you forever to polish off the punch bowl-sized cocktail (served in 50- and 100-ounce bowls), it’ll get you schwasted.

7. Tom’s Urban (New York-New York, 702.740.6766) The quaint patio is lit with string lights and has a great view of the foot traffic along the faux Brooklyn Bridge, which makes it feel similar to a hip NYC restaurant. Standout cocktails include the rye-based Tom’s Smash, but if you want a cold beer, go for the novelty 40-ounce stein.

8. CraftHaus (197 E. California St. No. 130, 702.888.1026) As a response to pandemic-era restrictions, this local brewery, one of the city’s finest, expanded its outdoor patio, which makes for an awesome hang. Order the Silver State Blonde Ale or the Zitrone Sour to perfectly complement the beautiful weather.

9. Margaritaville (Flamingo, 702.733.3302) Sure, it’s five o’clock somewhere. But here, it’s five o’clock all the time. Wind down atop the restaurant’s balcony, which offers a great view of the hustle and bustle down on the Boulevard, and sip a signature margarita or a cold glass of LandShark Lager.
