It’s not a secret that Sin City is the best place in the world to enjoy the most spectacular and lavish nightlife.
When it comes to atmosphere and alcohol, the city’s many bars and nightclubs are the places to be. So, after arriving in Las Vegas, most people flock to casino floors and sunny pool parties. However, sometimes a good glass of wine tastes even better with an altitude. And the girls’ night out is much more fun with impressive Strip views.
But, when in Vegas, don’t forget visiting the city’s most stunning rooftop bars.
These places above the city’s twinkling lights are perfect getaways from Vegas’ heat, crowded buffets, and stuffy casinos.
Whether it’s a beating pool party or a simple cozy hangout with friends, visiting the rooftop bars in Vegas is a must-do. To make things easier, we have prepared a list of the best rooftop bars in Vegas you must visit this fall.
