Known as one of the top tourist and entertainment destinations in the world, Las Vegas locals know better than most that fads come and go. One thing that is most definitely not a fad, however, is easy access to a rooftop or open-air outdoor space.
With so many Vegas locals hoping to enjoy the warm weather all year long, apartment complexes have taken note and, as a result, they are providing residents with the type of rooftops and outdoor lounges that are designed to sway renters from homeownership for at least one more year. Find your favorite outdoor oasis below and love where you live.
