Chandelier Bar at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas

It doesn’t get any more Vegas than this. The bar is built to appear as a giant crystal chandelier, with each of its three individual “tiers” a glittering visual spectacle. On tier one, there’s a DJ booth and dance floor. On tier two, there’s a cocktail room serving artisanal pours. On the third tier, an exclusive lounge provides intimacy and privacy. Naturally, each tier has its own separate selection of cocktails, crafted specifically by a resident mixologist.
