Many Las Vegas visitors might not know this great nighttime activity, so we’re going to let you in on the little secret: drinking and chilling at center bars. Almost every property on the Strip has a center bar, and the reasons they’re great are many: free to get in; open really late (in some cases, around the clock); impressive cocktail and beer-on-draft selections; tons of comfy seating; happy hours and drink specials; and, as the name suggests, in the center of the action.
Start with the newly opened Lapa Lounge at Rio Las Vegas. The cocktails here are flavor experiences, and the upscale surroundings make this destination, inspired by the Lapa neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, a must-visit.
The largest center bar just might be Crystal Bar at Resorts World Las Vegas. Enjoy killer music, a huge bar area, high-tech lighting visuals, mod-looking furniture and a large cocktail, spirits, beer and wine menu.
Try Interlude at The Cromwell, a 24-hour center bar with highlights like dueling pianos on Friday and Saturday nights till 1:30 a.m. and drink specials like $5 mixed drinks from noon-9 p.m. daily.
Another venue open around the clock, the beautifully designed Le Central Bar at Paris Las Vegas features oversized chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and intricate specialty cocktails that demand to have their picture taken.
