Central Michel Richard
Michel Richard's 24-hour restaurant at Caesars Palace just revamped the patio for more of a French garden feel. Find white lounge furniture including swings, couches, oversized umbrellas, pub-style tables and shaded dining areas. Order up one of the pitchers of sangria for $35.

Mizumi
Take Devin Hashimoto's robatayaki, teppanyaki and sushi outdoors to the floating pagoda within the Japanese eco-garden and pond at Wynn Las Vegas. The small group of tables here sit on this wood dock near the center of the pond in view of the waterfall as well as peaking in at the restaurant. Probably one of the best seats in Vegas.

The newest and perhaps best new patio to open sits around the pool at the Four Seasons. An impeccable menu of nibbles such as Ahi tuna cones, wood-fired flat breads and salted mini pretzels make for nice snacks while cocktails such as watermelon granita and the Maple Crown Frost make this one of the best bets in Vegas.
