Fodor's Expert Review The Artisan Lounge

This out-of-the-way "secret" lounge is a sort of upscale version of the Peppermill. The vibe is relatively chill even on weekends, so it can serve as a tonic to the usual Vegas lunacy. The interior is filled with gilt-framed paintings (and sometimes frames without the paintings), which are even on the ceiling. Ordinarily, a crazy ceiling stunt like this one would seem silly, but the muted romantic ambience here (candlelight, soft music, dark wood, comfy leather couches) makes it work. Host hotel The Lexi, reopened in 2023, is billed as the first "cannabis-friendly" hotel in Las Vegas.
