Haute Top 5: Best Outdoor Bars in Las Vegas in 2017

Next door to Rivea at the Delano, find Skyfall on the 63rd floor of the resort. Grab a cocktail and sit out on the patio with its 180-degree views of the city through floor-to-ceiling windows. Deep purples, reds and honey golds decorate the space, and clouds hang overhead. This may be one of the best places to watch the sunset and toast the night.

Head up to the 55th floor of the Ivory Tower at the Palms to find Ghostbar with its views of Vegas from west of the Strip. White seats sit on both sides of patio along with faux greenery. Inside, guests who don't want to venture out on the terrace to look through the floor window looking down 55 floors can gaze out the 14-foot floor-to-ceiling windows.

If rum and cigars are your fancy, head out to Rhumbar. The patio overlooking the volcano at the Mirage features a green and teal palette against a white background with a Caribbean feel.

Vdara has its own patio at the front of the resort. Vice Versa features “twisted” cocktails, fire pits and couches that look over at Aria.

Spend an afternoon at the ballpark at Beer Park at Paris with its patio overlooking the Strip. Customers can drink beer in souvenir cups at the lower-level entrance and then walk up a spiral staircase to the open-air "park." Sit at communal picnic tables and find a lawn for games such as pool, bean bag toss and darts.
