Las Vegas hotel bars run from the Strip to a rooftop above downtown. The best hotel bars in Las Vegas include Aft Cocktail Deck, an open-air deck at Wynn, styled after a superyacht and set beside the Lake of Dreams and a 2026 Spirited Awards regional honoree for Best U.S. Hotel Bar, and Overlook Lounge in the same resort, where guests may smoke. Downtown, Legacy Club looks over the old town from atop Circa, the area's tallest building. At Bellagio, Petrossian Bar pairs caviar and martinis with a view of the Chihuly glass ceiling, and Rosina at The Palazzo strictly enforces its dress code. Aft and Overlook take no reservations. These are the eleven we would start with.
Aft Cocktail Deck is an open-air bar on the Lake of Dreams at Wynn Las Vegas, designed by Todd-Avery Lenahan after the parties held on the aft decks of superyachts, with nautical flags spelling out the resort's name. The menu by Wynn's master mixologist Mariena Mercer Boarini names its drinks for coastal destinations, a Turks & Caicos guava mojito, a Monaco with butterfly pea and edible parfum, a Cozumel margarita with mango-chile salt.
A rooftop cocktail lounge on the 60th floor of Circa Resort & Casino, overlooking downtown Las Vegas. The room is finished with gold bullion display cases, metal busts of Las Vegas founding figures and archival photography, and opens onto a terrace with fire pits. The drinks list centers on reworked classics, including a build-your-own Old Fashioned. An upscale dress code applies.

Juliet is a cocktail lounge on The Venetian's casino floor near Restaurant Row, furnished with velvet couches and Victorian-style decor. Mixologist Chris Zaide's menu includes the Fields of Norway, an aquavit gin fizz variation served in a horn-shaped glass. A baby grand piano and drummer play in the evenings, followed by DJs.

Rosina is an Art Deco cocktail lounge on The Palazzo casino floor, opened in 2017, with plush booths and a quiet, low-lit room. The menu keeps to classic cocktails made to order, and bartenders also build custom drinks to a guest's taste.

VISTA Cocktail Lounge sits in the center of the Caesars Palace casino on the Las Vegas Strip, a short walk from Bobby Flay's Amalfi, the Dominique Ansel bakery and The Colosseum. The room keeps a classic lounge feel: orange armchairs, a quilted, blue-lit wall at the entrance and a lantern chandelier hanging over the seating. In place of windows, LED screens play city scenes, the "views" the lounge is named for. Caesars pitches it as a relaxed alternative to the resort's nightclubs, built around handcrafted cocktails. Guests must be 21 or over. VISTA is open Monday to Thursday from 2pm to 2am and Friday to Sunday from 10am to 2am, and reservations are optional: walk in, or book a table through Caesars Palace. From 31 October to 31 December 2026 the lounge hosts a residency by Barcelona’s Sips.
Collins is the lobby bar of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, opened in late 2023, with booths and a live pianist on select evenings. The list centers on classic cocktails and highballs. It hosts private parties of up to 125 guests.
Easy's is a speakeasy at ARIA reached through Easy Donuts in the Proper Eats food hall, run by Clique Hospitality. The small room has plush velvet seating facing a stage with live jazz-style music every night. Drinks are presented with dry-ice fog, flowers and ice molds, such as the Shroomin', gin, matcha, lemon and honey in mushroom-shaped glasses on a mossy plank.
Overlook Lounge, Aperitifs and Spirits sits above Wynn's Lake of Dreams next to the Atrium, designed in jewel tones by Todd-Avery Lenahan. Resort mixologist Mariena Mercer Boarini's menu of aperitifs, rare spirits and cocktails takes its inspiration from figures in fashion, film, history and mythology. Table snacks come with the drinks and an upscale resort dress code applies.
Petrossian Bar is the lounge off Bellagio's lobby, under the Dale Chihuly glass ceiling, with a pianist playing through the evening. It specializes in caviar service, from caviar tacos with hamachi to potato with creme fraiche, alongside classics such as the Bellagio Martini and a lavender basil lemon drop. Afternoon tea is served on Friday to Sunday.
The Cabinet of Curiosities is a bar on Horseshoe Las Vegas's lower level styled as a Victorian collector's mansion, with bookcases of odd artefacts and puzzles built into the room. Inside it hides The Lock, a speakeasy reached by cracking a code, with its own secret menu. The bar also runs mixology classes in a dedicated classroom.
Vesper is a 24-hour cocktail bar on the ground floor of The Cosmopolitan's Chelsea Tower, named for the martini in Casino Royale. The room has mirrored tiles, neon accents and gilded waves overhead. It pours four Rare Character whiskeys bottled for the resort alongside its cocktail list.
