The new bar inside the former porte-cochère at the downtown Plaza Hotel and Casino offers outdoor seating adjacent to the Fremont Street Experience. Order a drink, indulge in bartop gaming, and take in the blinking lights, swinging horses, and neon showgirl of the carousel-themed bar.

The downtown bar has reopened this summer with an expanded patio, new cocktails, and a ton of cool and oddball art tucked around every corner. Stop in for a drink inside, at its backyard garden, or in the new patio in front with a fireplace and live DJs.

The new European-style bar at Red Rock Casino and Resort boasts swanky red velvet, floral martinis, and caviar. The bar would be right at home on the Strip, with Old Vegas-style opulence, live music most nights, and three different bars for ordering signature cocktails or customizable martinis.

Snake through a row of hedges to the side of the Absinthe show tent in order to find the outdoor seating area that leads into a cozy wood-paneled speakeasy-style bar. The drinks here skew sophisticated, with suggestive names but classic flavors. The Big Duke Energy, pastel pink and sweetened with apricot, is grounded with scotch, port, and bitters. The Tantric Turnbuckle employs mezcal, aloe, lime, cucumber, and wormwood, for a cool take on a margarita. And the Gazerac — so named for the show’s Gazillionaire character — is a traditional sazerac. Absinthe tickets not required.

The Vault at the Bellagio Resort and Casino is tucked away behind a nondescript doorway near the table games, just off the casino floor. You probably won’t be able to find it without a reservation. And you probably won’t be able to get a reservation unless you’ve demonstrated that you’re willing to drop some serious dough. The executive director of beverage for MGM Resorts International describes the bar’s offerings as more luxurious and more expensive than those found in any of the high roller lounges across MGM’s properties. The food is topped with caviar. The spirits are top-shelf and decades old.

The newest speakeasy on the Strip is tucked away behind Easy Donuts at the Proper Eats Food Hall inside the Aria. You’ll want to make a reservation to get inside. Within the velvet-draped bar, discover live music, caviar service, and elaborate drinks dripping with dry ice fog.

Pour it yourself at this southwest taphouse. Dozens of beers and ciders — sourced locally and beyond — are on tap. You can even mix and match. The bar also has a menu of finger foods and frequent live entertainment.

With dueling pianos, Victorian-inspired decor, and cocktails served in all sorts of pretty little glasses, this new bar at the Venetian joins the resort’s trio of bars in the Cocktail Collective. The bar hosts live entertainment, provided by dueling pianists at baby grand pianos. Highlights on the cocktail menu include the Fields of Norway, a take on a gin fizz served in a Viking horn-shaped glass. The Green With Envy is a rum and matcha cocktail, presented in a glass teacup adorned with butterflies. And the Queen of the Garden is a pretty purple cocktail garnished with flowers.
