Downtown’s new Circa continues to reveal its new outlets with Legacy Club, the swanky lounge at the top of its 458-foot tower opening on December 28. The lounge features stunning views of Las Vegas along with fire pits to keep customers warm on the outdoor terrace.
Customers take a dedicated elevator to the 60th floor to reach the Legacy Club, an ode to many of Vegas’ founding pioneers and icons.

“I think it’s hard to compare, because there definitely is nothing like this Downtown,” says Alice O’Keefe, Circa’s director of design and architecture. “When we developed the concept, we looked around Las Vegas but also outside Las Vegas, because it was important to create a destination. You can’t say it’s like the Foundation Room [at Mandalay Bay] or the other bar rooftop experiences. That’s not to take away from what’s already been done, but really it’s
