Happy hour is a time-honored tradition in Las Vegas, but every so often the occasion calls for an upscale alternative. The British tradition of afternoon tea originated in the mid-1800s when the Duchess of Bedford found herself in need of a light meal between lunch and dinner. Eventually, this became a social event revolving around scones with clotted cream, cucumber sandwiches, and of course, tea.

For those on this side of the pond, it’s hard to imagine donning lace gloves and heading out into the neon landscape of Las Vegas for assorted pastries and Earl Grey, but the mid-day tradition does exist among the slot machines and showgirls of Sin City. Here’s where to find it.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

Located at the edge of Summerlin with views of the Spring Mountains, Cafe Lola is a cocoon of champagne, flowers, cupcakes, and all things pink.

Tea Lounge

Despite its prime location, Waldorf Astoria exists as a sort of antithesis to the Las Vegas Strip. The setting is elegant, serene, and in the case of the resort’s Tea Lounge, high above the bustling sidewalks of the city. The restaurant serves afternoon tea daily for $58 per person. Diners can order loose leaf tea from around the world, scones with clotted cream and marmalade, brie and apple compote sandwiches plus vegan and gluten-free options. The real treat — in addition to the sophisticated tea service — is taking in one of the best views in town.
