Best & Cool Bars in Mount Charleston

"Chef Kerry Simon has established a destination restaurant with his Carson Kitchen in Downtown Las Vegas. The modern gastropub is serving twists on standard dishes like the gyro tacos pictured above. Stylish and sleek, the late Chef Kerry Simon’s Carson Kitchen is proof of Downtown Las Vegas continuing renaissance."

"Interpreting American comfort foods using locally sourced is not easy, but SOMEHOW Carson Kitchen does and comes up with dishes like the Bacon Jam topped with baked brie."

"There is no need for couples to fly all the way to Paris to experience elegant dining at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Instead, they can experience the same romantic offerings at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant inside Paris Las Vegas. This most romantic restaurant in Las Vegas offers views of The Strip, as well as the Fountains of the Bellagio."

"One of those Las Vegas restaurants with a view, this Eiffel Tower restaurant offers you the charm of Paris in the Sin City. The place is charming and undoubtedly romantic. They have both lunch and dinner option available with two and three courses, and the former is cheaper than the latter if budget is your concern."

"Love is in the air: Take your romance to the next level with an Eiffel Tower Restaurant experience. Admire center Strip views from floor-to-ceiling windows, all while savoring fine French cuisine. We recommend a table by the window to make the most of your night."

"Victor Drai is the indisputable founder of the nightclub scene in Las Vegas. A firm believer that it’s the venue—not the star DJ—that makes a club hot, he has made good on that truism in his rooftop pool and nightclub, which occupies the entire rooftop of The Cromwell. Sitting 11 stories above the Strip, the 35,000-square-foot party zone is the place to be for its daytime pool scene, but it glows at night under towering palms."

"Drai’s Nightclub is one of the best rooftop bars in Vegas – you must visit if you’re in search of an ultimate rooftop party spot. Located 11 stories above the Strip, Drai’s nightclub and beach club combo sit on the top level of the Cromwell resort. Stop by for a late-night swim in one of the many available pools, to dance the night out, or to listen to some of the best musicians in town."

"Hip-hop headliners, pool, and views from 11 stories above the Strip If you're looking for a club with great views, Drai's is the best choice -- day or night. The party destination is on the top floor of the Cromwell hotel with sweeping views of the Strip. (Pull out your phone and start snapping.) The main stage is indoors although acts often perform on the outdoor pool deck as well."

"Yes, Davidoff Cigar Bar focuses on cigars, but don't ignore the drinks. Find bourbons, tequilas, and more behind the bar that sits on the plaza at Fashion Show mall. Do lounge on the patio and go for happy hour on Monday from 7 to 10 p.m."

"Eataly isn't a restaurant--it's a food experience, an Italian marketplace featuring plenty of places to browse or stop for a bite, coffee or a drink. Eataly brings together restaurants, several casual counters and bars, a market and a wine shop. A full calendar of tours, cooking classes, wine and beverage tastings along with specialty dinners provide an abundance of food-centric things to do."

"In a town where it's not easy to single out steakhouses, we named Carnevino the best of them all. The praise is well-deserved for Mario Batali, who along with partner Joe Bastianich has an impressive Italian-American empire at the sister Venetian and Palazzo resorts. B&B Ristorante offers fine dining elegance, while B&B Burger & Beer goes for the casual crowd."

"Found in downtown Las Vegas, Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum is sure to send a chill down your spine as you enter into the realm of the spirit world. This spooky museum explores the paranormal and leads you down creepy winding hallways and secret passageways that connect 30 rooms within the 11,000 square foot property. Amongst the spine-chilling displays, there are many horror movie props, the most notable of which is the staircase from the Gary, Indiana “Demon House.” There are also hundreds of terrifying possessions and real-life objects that are sure to make you squirm, such as the “Propofol chair” from Michael Jackson’s death room."

"A museum exhibiting the paranormal is about as Vegas as it gets. The stuff you’ll see here — which supposedly chronicles “scientifically proven” ways to communicate with the dead — is both somewhat scary and entirely weird. Check the VW van where Dr. Jack Kevorkian did his work ending the lives of patients with terminal diseases, and then meander past the wine cabinet from the movie The Possession over to the staircase from the former Demon House in Gary, Indiana, where a family was reportedly possessed by demons in 2011."

"Fans of haunted houses, ghosts and other spooky things will find a large collection of paranormal items at Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum. Located in a house that's allegedly haunted, the museum is packed with artifacts carrying seriously scary histories. Visitors may recognize Bagans' name from the show "Ghost Adventures," where he investigates paranormal activity."

"Fascinating multimedia exhibits focus on science, technology and the social history of the 'Atomic Age,' which lasted from WWII until atmospheric bomb testing was driven underground in 1961 and a worldwide ban on nuclear testing was declared in 1992. View footage of atomic testing and examine southern Nevada's nuclear past, present and future, from Native American ways of life to the environmental legacy of atomic testing. Don't miss the ticket booth (how could you?); it's a Nevada Test Site guard-station replica."

"This is the hottest new attraction in Las Vegas that’s a mix of art, shopping, and food. It’s free to enter (though it requires tickets to control capacity) and there are plenty of murals and free art installations to browse. If you want to see certain exhibits, you can purchase tickets separately or as a bundle on the AREA15 site."

"One of the most fascinating places to see Las Vegas art on the Strip is at the Aria Fine Arts Collection. Located along the Strip within the Aria Hotel complex, the Aria Fine Arts Collection highlights the works of many well-known artists from around the world including Maya Lin, James Turrell, Richard Long and Frank Stella. The fine arts collection is a true testament to the hotel which in itself is a work of art with aesthetically pleasing lines at every turn inside and out."

"People who tour the 21 public art sites around the CityCenter campus are generally committed art aficionados. While everyone else is gambling, partying, or shopping, visitors to the Aria Fine Art Collection get to take in a fabulous outdoor gallery housing works by top contemporary artists. Best of all, it's a free, self-directed walk, so the tour lasts as long as you want it to."

"Take a walk through the impressive Aria complex when you’re ready for an unparalleled experience with fine art and permanent sculptures. There isn’t one specific gallery of all the pieces here at Aria, so just enjoy the experience of wandering through the complex at a leisurely pace. You’ll get to see a magnificent gallery of art for free."

"If you are interested in viewing Las Vegas art that includes established as well as up-coming artists in the area of pop and contemporary art, then you should stop by the A.W."
