Las Vegas seems to have two rare times during the year where the weather is just perfect, not too hot and not too cold. While these times are not officially recognized, locals know the time of year all too well. Luckily, we are still in that perfect spring time weather of 80 degrees and what better way to appreciate it than to dine outside? If you are lucky enough, you will find one of the restaurants who offer delicious food, a relaxing atmosphere, and a nice patio space. Patio dining is also popular for those who may not want to only sit and enjoy the weather, but rather, sit and enjoy people watching. Our list of eight essential spots for outdoor dining includes patios with prime spaces for not just people watching, but also spectacular views, a secret garden and even a water show. Each of these eight spots also provides tasty food and libations as well.

The Essential Patios of Las Vegas
10 patios to frequent on and off the Strip

Park on Fremont
