Reimagined rooftop lounges are transforming the nightlife experience at W Las Vegas as the hotel reopens its Skyfall Rooftop Bar & Lounge alongside the debut of its Living Room lobby space. Designed by Rockwell Group, the refreshed venues combine contemporary interiors with distinctive beverage menus, creating separate environments for daytime relaxation and evening entertainment.
Located on the 64th floor, Skyfall features panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip, updated architectural details, and cocktails incorporating floral and savory ingredients. The Living Room introduces a garden-inspired atmosphere with botanical drinks, including raspberry, rose, and ube creations. Together, the venues offer different settings for social gatherings.
For W Las Vegas, the redesigned spaces create opportunities to attract visitors seeking premium nightlife and hospitality experiences. Their contrasting concepts also broaden the hotel's beverage offerings, encouraging guests to explore multiple venues throughout their stay.
