Best cocktail bars in Las Vegas: ten distinctive places to drink

Choose by the kind of night you want. The Chandelier suits spectacle and menu exploration, Juniper offers a gin focus, Petrossian adds piano and caviar options, and Velveteen Rabbit offers seasonal drinks in the Arts District. A nearby bar that suits your tastes is usually a better first stop than crossing the city for a famous name alone.

Yes. The Cosmopolitan describes three distinct lounge experiences and publishes separate menus for Levels 1, 1.5 and 2. Their operating hours also differ, so confirm the level you want instead of assuming the entire venue follows the 24-hour headline schedule.

The Chandelier publishes spirit-free creations, and Velveteen Rabbit lists non-alcoholic cocktails on its drinks menu. Menus change, so check the current selection and discuss any ingredient or alcohol-content requirements with the venue before ordering.

It depends on the venue, the group size and the date. Reserve when getting seats together is important, and check whether a booking carries a minimum spend or other terms. A bar that accepts walk-ups can still be full after a show or during a special event.

These are editorial recommendations based on the venues’ officially described drinks programmes, settings and practical details. They are not claims of personal visits or paid-for scores. Compare the current menu and atmosphere with your own preferences before choosing.
