In Las Vegas (or ‘Sin City’ as it’s nicknamed), the real party starts when the sun dips below the horizon. So, why settle for ground-level fun? Get ready to soar above the Strip on your next USA trip, where cocktails taste better, skylines sparkle, and even traffic lights look like dancing stars. Las Vegas from a rooftop is a whole new world. Whether you're dressed to the nines or rocking a laid-back vibe, we’ve rounded up the five best rooftop bars in Las Vegas that deliver a front-row seat to the sky-high action.

It’s no secret that Las Vegas has an epic party scene, but Drai's Beachclub & Nightclub takes nightlife to new heights – quite literally. Sitting on the 11th floor atop the Cromwell Hotel like a palm tree-studded crown, this 25,000-square-foot rooftop wonderland boasts stunning Strip views and a pool party atmosphere that's second to none. By day, soak up the sun on luxe loungers and cabanas, and as the sun sets, get ready for a night of pulsating energy. With live DJs, vibrant crowds, and refreshing pools, Drai's is the ultimate place to see and be seen. Sip on tropical cocktails and dance the night away to music from some of the world's best DJs with the city of lights as your backdrop.

Boasting vintage charm and electric vibes, Commonwealth is renowned as one of the best rooftop bars in Las Vegas downtown. Located adjacent to the El Cortez, this trendy, upscale bar offers a two-story extravaganza where you can revel late into the night. Step out onto the open-air terrace for dancing, schmoozing and prime views of the iconic Fremont Street, with its neon lights and downtown energy. Alternatively, head to the lower-level indoor lounge inspired by pre-Prohibition era design for a more throwback vibe, complete with glittering chandeliers, exposed beams, vintage photo wallpaper and a backroom speakeasy called The Laundry Room. When it comes to choosing your tipple, you’ll find an impressive variety of beers on the menu, alongside wine, snacks and an always-changing selection of signature cocktails.

For those who prefer their rooftop experiences with a side of casual fun, Beer Park is your go-to. No need for fancy cocktails and dressing up here; it's all about embracing the laid-back vibes. Situated above the ground floor of Paris Las Vegas, this Budweiser-sponsored beer haven boasts an astroturfed, 10,000-square-foot rooftop terrace with views of the iconic Bellagio Fountains. Whether you're a sports enthusiast looking for game-day excitement or simply seeking a relaxed gathering spot, Beer Park delivers. Catch the game on the multitude of TVs, engage in party games like giant Jenga, savour modern takes on classic American BBQ, and indulge in draft and bottled beers. And yes, they even serve your brews in those familiar red Solo cups.

Away from the Strip and nestled within Downtown Container Park, Oak & Ivy stands tall as a premier whiskey haven. Recognised as one of the best rooftop bars in Las Vegas by locals and tourists alike, this high-altitude gem serves up a tongue-tantalising boozy menu, including barrel-aged cocktails, seasonal sips and hard cider. And let's not forget the stars of the show – the carefully curated whiskey collection. The bartenders here are more than just experts; they're liquid artists. Can't decide on a drink? Let them work their magic, crafting a unique potion tailored to your desires. Every sip, a story. Every drink, aged to perfection. With a dedication to classic mixology and a penchant for elegance, this cosy repurposed shipping container elevates your boozing experience with indoor and patio seating on the ground floor. But the real treat is the rooftop terrace, offering dazzling views of Downtown Las Vegas.

Sophistication meets skyline at Skyfall Lounge. Ascend 64 stories in a glass elevator to reach the pinnacle of Vegas luxury, perched atop the Delano Las Vegas. A subtle nod to the James Bond classic, it's the ultimate Champagne destination with a side of smooth jams. But beware; this place is hot, and the savvy crowd knows it, so you’re going to want to arrive early to secure your spot. With rich hues, metallic accents and a dash of mid-century charm, Skyfall Lounge sets itself apart as one of the city's most unique rooftop experiences. And the views? They're the proverbial cherry on top. You may have a hard time tearing your eyes away from the Strip's glittering lights, the Luxor beam and the entire Las Vegas panorama. While it leans indoors, the rooftop boasts an inviting open-air terrace for those seeking a breath of fresh air. Sip on artisan cocktails like the ‘Anchorman’, a boozy and tropical stirred drink using coconut wash scotch and banana whiskey, and snack on delectable bites from the adjacent Rivea restaurant as you drink in the sweeping Sin City vistas.

Spring in the City of Angels has had some rather downbeat descriptions over the years, with Angelinos annually bemoaning May Gray and June Gloom.
