Thursday nights at Ghostbar mean DJ Monstr behind the booth, spinning on the 55th floor with the entire valley spread out below in every direction. Doors open at 9pm, and the first couple hours come with discounted Ketel One vodka cocktails, giving you time to grab a drink and claim a spot on that famous outdoor deck before the night picks up momentum. The patio alone is worth the trip up — glass railings, open air, and a 360-degree view that takes in the Strip, Downtown, Red Rock, and Allegiant Stadium all at once.

At midnight, things shift into a costume contest hosted by DJ Monstr, so there's an extra reason to put some thought into what you're wearing beyond the usual nightlife attire. The vibe stays on the ultra lounge side of things — a real dance floor and DJ energy, but still intimate enough that you can hear your friends and have a conversation between songs. Must be 21 to enter, and as always with Vegas nightlife, specifics on entertainment can shift night to night.
