Rooftop cocktail lounge at Circa in Downtown Las Vegas, with busts of 11 Las Vegas figures, a display of gold bars and views over Fremont Street at golden hour.
Good to know
Legacy Club is the rooftop lounge at Circa, Downtown's newest resort, and it is one of the best places in the city for a drink with a view. Circa bills it as the ultimate golden hour, and sunset is the moment to come, when the light falls across the valley and the neon of Fremont Street starts to glow below.
The lounge covers around 8,400 square feet and celebrates the city's history. Busts of 11 prominent Las Vegas figures line the room, and a display of 500 gold bars adds a touch of Downtown swagger. The décor and the setting give it a more polished, grown-up feel than the street below, which makes it a good choice for a special drink before dinner.
Cocktails are the focus, and the lounge occasionally hosts themed events, such as a Rooftop Rodeo. Expect prices in line with resort cocktail bars rather than neighbourhood bars. Because Circa is an adults-only resort, everyone must be 21 or over, so bring photo ID.
Legacy Club suits couples, groups of friends and anyone who wants to see Downtown from above. It is at its busiest around sunset and at weekends, when a short wait to get in is possible, so arrive a little before golden hour if you want a good spot. Smart casual dress fits the setting. Check Circa's website for current opening times and any events before you go.
Even if you are not staying at Circa, the lounge is open to adult visitors, and it gives one of the best views in Downtown. Combine a sunset drink here with dinner at Barry's Downtown Prime or one of Circa's other restaurants, then step out under the canopy for the evening shows, and you have a full Downtown night without needing a taxi.
Circa sits at the western end of the Fremont Street Experience, so after a drink at Legacy Club you can head down to the canopy for a light show, live music on the stages or a ride on SlotZilla. Circa's other venues include Stadium Swim, its rooftop pool amphitheatre, and a three-storey sportsbook. The Golden Nugget, the Four Queens and The Mob Museum are all within easy walking distance, and the Arts District is a short ride south.
