The 5 best rooftop bars & restaurants in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is home to many stunning attractions, including an exciting array of rooftop bars and restaurants. Here are five of the best. 

When it comes to being entertained in Las Vegas, countless options are available. Whether you want to cool off at the Cowabunga Bay Water Park or try your luck at any of the casinos, there’s something for everyone in the real city that never sleeps (sorry, New York).

The best thing about Vegas is that it doesn’t matter if you’re a local or a tourist—you can always find a new bar or restaurant to try. If you’re looking for a more elevated experience than your traditional night on the town, these five rooftop bars and restaurants are exactly what you’re looking for. With breathtaking views of the city and impressive food and drink offerings, each of these locations presents something truly special to its patrons. 

1. Ghostbar 

Found on the 55th floor of the Ivory Tower, Ghostbar boasts views “from the Red Rock to the west, to Downtown Las Vegas to the north, to the famed Las Vegas Strip to the east, and the new Allegiant Stadium to the south.” This striking location is open Wednesday through Saturday from 9 p.m. until close (though an actual closing time is not listed on the website). Live entertainment is offered Wednesday through Saturday from 10 p.m. until close. The dress code for Ghostbar is business casual, and more information on what you can and can’t wear can be found here. A cigar-friendly smoking terrace and bottle service are both available on-site.

According to Reddit, there isn’t a cover charge, but you have to be at least 21 years of age to enter, and you must present a valid ID upon your arrival. Reservations aren’t required, but they can be made in advance online or by calling 866-942-7777.

2. Skyfall

No, it’s not the Adele song and/or the James Bond movie, but it’s equally entertaining. Skyfall is a panoramic lounge and bar located on the 64th floor of the W Las Vegas. It’s open Monday through Sunday from 5 p.m. until midnight, and the dress code here is “upscale casual.” The bar’s website notes, “our dress code does not permit flip-flop style footwear, tank tops or swimwear.” 

Reservations can be made in advance through Skyfall’s website. You’ll need to indicate how many people over the age of 21 will be in your party and what day and time you’d like to visit the lounge. A full drink menu can be found here, but Skyfall also offers light appetizers and shareable foods until 10 p.m. every night.

3. BrewDog

For those who want to enjoy a rooftop bar with heartier food options and a more casual vibe, BrewDog is the place for you. Spanning two floors and offering over 30 beers on tap, this place is the epitome of the American bar experience. The menu includes staple items like Black Angus burgers, wings, giant pretzels, and pizza, just to name a few. For the full rooftop restaurant menu, click here.

BrewDog is open on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to midnight, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to midnight. The kitchen is open at the following times:

4. Legacy Club 

Legacy Club is located on the 60th floor of Circa and is billed as a “lively rooftop lounge, with its breathtaking panoramic views of the Downtown skyline, combines youthful elegance with an approachable charm.” It’s open from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 4 p.m. until 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. While everything about this location is stunning, we want to take a moment to highlight one specific feature: The Legacy Club Sunset Package.

You’ll need to book this in advance through the club’s website, but it’s well worth your time. You and your friends (or romantic partner) will be treated to panoramic views of the sunset as you sip on artisanal cocktails or bubbling glasses of champagne. It’s something that makes a special occasion even more unique, and it gives you time to take a deep breath and have some fun with the people you love most.

The dress code at Legacy Club is “upscale nightlife attire.” Athleisure, casual loungewear, sports attire, and swimwear are not permitted. If you have additional questions about what this specific dress code entails, contact the club directly, as management reserves the right to turn people away if they fail to meet these standards. (This is pretty common practice for places with strict dress codes, so it’s not just something they do at Legacy.) 

5. Allē Lounge

Found “66 floors above neon lights,” Allē Lounge features incredible views of the Las Vegas Strip, as well as handcrafted cocktails, small appetizers, and rare and fine spirits. The dress code here is listed as “elegant.” Allē requests that guests refrain from wearing athletic apparel, baseball caps, sandals, shorts, and swimwear. Like Legacy Club, management at this bar also reserves the right to turn people away if they fail to meet the dress code standards.

Allē is open Sunday through Saturday beginning at 5 p.m., with a closing time simply listed as “LATE” on the lounge’s website. A menu can be found here, and reservations can be made online here. Non-alcoholic beverages such as sparkling water, coffee, and Red Bull are available, as is a small assortment of desserts.
