A whopping 63 stories above the Las Vegas skyline, Foundation Room has been providing legendary views for nearly two decades.

Downtown Las Vegas rooftop bars
Commonwealth
Kitty-corner from the El Cortez is Commonwealth, a spot hoping to be a “neighborhood bar for locals and visitors alike.”
In addition to the rooftop bar and live DJs, the bar boasts a menu of craft cocktails, more than a dozen local and international beers, and just as many different tequila bottles available, with some prices that’ll make your eyes pop out of your head. With ornate lamp posts, exposed brick walls and rustic park benches, this bar feels like the kind of place “Peaky Blinders” Tommy Shelby would want to grab a drink.
The bar and club is open 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays at 525 Fremont St.; commonwealthlv.com
Legacy Club
Drink among legends (or, at least, portraits of them) at Circa’s rooftop bar, Legacy Club. The bar sits at Circa’s 60th floor and offers 360-degree views of downtown Las Vegas and the Strip.
Guests can enjoy cocktails on their patio or stay inside and gaze at the bar’s collection of 500 custom gold bars. This bar requires a dress code to enter, with swimwear, sandals, workout clothes and sports gear prohibited.
