When you go to Las Vegas, one of the biggest draws of the city is the nightclubs.
The Strip is populated with hundreds of bars, and the top tiers have access to premier rooftop locations.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable rooftop experience, you need to know which places you can’t miss when sampling the nightlife of Las Vegas.
These rooftop options are the crème of the crop when it comes to nightlife and the famous Las Vegas view.
Here are 15 Vegas Rooftop Bars You Have to Visit!
Mandalay Bay Hotel, Las Vegas home of the Foundation room.
Foundation Room
If you enjoy good food and drinks (of course you do), you’ll want to check out Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay. They have live music, the best quality drinks, and a spectacular rooftop view to top it all off.
The bar is filled with their “Nightlife Goddesses,” who are beautiful and scantily clad permanent denizens of the bar. Party the night away with these visions of beauty and enjoy happy hour as well as bottle service throughout the night.
Palms resort off the strip in Vegas
Apex Social Club
Looking for a more intimate, laid back vibe? Head over to Apex Social Club at the Palms hotel and enjoy the gorgeous views and décor. Of course, they do bottle service with no lines and private areas, and they also can host special events like bachelorette parties in their exclusive event sections.
Their bar is 8,000 square feet in size with a panoramic view, so you have plenty of space to enjoy the house music and top tier drinks on top of the view. They’re open Thursday through Sunday and have exclusive events most nights, so you won’t want to miss out.
Commonwealth
Commonwealth and its secret counterpart, the Laundry Room speakeasy, is a must-visit location if you love pub atmospheres and unique experiences. The cocktail bar boasts exceptionally talented mixologists who can make drinks to your tastes based on your favorite flavors.
While the rooftop bar is gorgeous and cozy, the real draw is the Laundry Room, which can only be accessed by texting a reservation to their secret number.
The intimate, personal vibe is perfect for small parties of close friends who want an experience unlike any other. Commonwealth will also host private events on the rooftop portion of their establishment, and they hold their events nightly, like trivia and live music.
Chateau

They offer exclusive deals on Las Vegas bachelorette parties and offer receptions as large as 1,500 people for those who are looking to have a private event hosted.
Carson Kitchen
Carson Kitchen is a cozy restaurant and bar with a rooftop patio, offering what they call “playful interpretations” of American comfort food. This iconic restaurant is off the Strip, meaning it’s out of the way of the hectic, most densely populated areas of Las Vegas.
Enjoy the indoor bar, the kitchen expo counter, or head up to the rooftop, where a second full bar is available.
They also have a courtyard open with a lava rock fire pit, part of the old John E. Carson Hotel, which houses Carson Kitchen and several other establishments.

They pride themselves on their easygoing atmosphere, a far cry from the upbeat, hectic attitude of most clubs on the Strip.

For the more playful visitors, they offer giant Jenga, giant Connect Four, and foosball to play on their premises while you watch the latest sporting event on TV.
