Artisan Lounge

To sleep, or not to sleep. In Vegas that is often the question. Thankfully, the Artisan Lounge solves that particular conundrum for revelers who are not quite ready for Mr. Sandman.

Recently voted Las Vegas’ top after-hours spot, this shadowy noir haven keeps the party going into the wee hours of the morning. With deejays spinning till dawn (and past it), the Artisan allows you to kick it well after the rooster’s first crow.

Downtown Cocktail Room

There are cocktail lounges that claim to be free of pretense, and then there’s the Downtown Cocktail Room. Located in the burgeoning Fremont East entertainment district, this cozy bohemian cocktail room serves up potent handcrafted concoctions from seasonal menus. And while you’re imbibing, D.C.R. advises that talk of religion and politics be kept to a minimum. That is, unless you are a priest, rabbi or politician. In which case, they say, it is probably past your bedtime anyway.

Monday to Friday 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Saturday 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.
