The best lounge bars Route 66

S Bar (Mandalay Bay) welcomes you to a cosy, chic setting. This establishment offers a variety of lounge experiences with copper tones, luxurious drapes, plush seating and a polished black marble bar adorned with iconic artworks by Terry O'Neill, one of the world's most collected photographers. The S Bar offers a few dishes if you're feeling a little hungry, but it's above all the many spirits, cocktails (with a few house specialties) and other wines that will seduce you.

This is one of the coziest addresses in Las Vegas. This cigar bar welcomes you in a luxurious setting with leather sofas and marble tables, as well as a very pleasant patio. Serving excellent whisky and bourbon cocktails, it also boasts a cigar cellar featuring over 150 different models from countries such as Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Honduras... And you can smoke on the premises - a rarity in the USA, as the Eight Lounge boasts the best ventilation system in the country!

Inside the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, the Chandelier is an elegant lounge bar with oversized chandeliers - as the name suggests - and three floors. On the casino level, the second floor is at the heart of the hustle and bustle. The second, more sophisticated and intimate, lends itself to the tasting of house cocktails. Finally, the last floor reveals the full splendor of the establishment. Signature drinks include Whiskey Business, Finishing School and We're All Mad Here, an inventive ode to Alice in Wonderland.

Located not far from the Palms lobby, the Rojo Lounge bar and lounge offers a relaxing, laid-back atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the Strip. The bar is lit all in red, and the alcoves with vinylbooths are very comfortable. Here you can enjoy classic cocktails and a variety of coffees to give you a boost, as well as light fare to satisfy your hunger. The service is efficient and the staff in tune. An ideal place to relax and recharge your batteries for the evening.

The Commonwealth at El Cortez is one of Downtown's most popular saloon-style bars. Even if the menu doesn't include as many drinks as other establishments in the area, this place lives to the rhythm of the music, with the regular presence of DJs. Commonwealth also has its own speakeasy (a kind of speakeasy dating back to Prohibition). Called the Laundry Room, it's well hidden and you'll have to look for the entrance to get there.

Away from the Strip, The Orleans casino and its Louisiana-inspired French style couldn't do without a lounge named after the famous Bourbon Street. This 140-seat establishment isn't the trendiest bar on the Strip, but it gets the job done. Cocktails range from classic martinis to more exotic concoctions. The establishment regularly hosts live sessions by artists and bands. The bar is also equipped with poker machines.

Opened in 1954, The Dresden has been the setting for numerous films, from Swingers (1996) and Anchorman (2004) to What Women Want (2000) and That Thing You Do! (1996). It's a legendary restaurant with an elegant sixties decor, featuring large white leather banquettes and retro chandeliers. However, it's not for the food that you come here, but for the fabulous lounge bar, where musicians are invited every week. They follow in the footsteps of the legendary couple Elayne and Marty Roberts, at the microphone for over 35 years.

This is a beautiful 19th century English manor house, named after a small village near the birthplace of William Shakespeare. As soon as you cross the threshold, you are immersed in an atmosphere of its own. Intimate lighting, a crackling fire in the fireplace, bookcases overflowing with old books, a large tropical wood counter: the atmosphere of the Wellesbourne is unique. This environment and the wide selection of beers contribute to make it a popular place to go out, in an area of Los Angeles that is considered to be an "early bird".

Located in the heart of the Fashion District, Pattern Bar celebrates textiles in a vintage setting of old sewing machines, fabric samples and fashion magazines.

From electro to RnB to hip-hop, be sure to check out Pattern Bar's Instagram page, where upcoming events are announced. On the agenda: the weekly Catch A Vibe Thursdays and the many DJ sets, organized throughout the week.
