Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Morgans Hotel Group elevate the Las Vegas pool scene with the opening of SKYBAR. As part of the $750 million property expansion, the sophisticated lounge offers guests a new level of social relaxation.
Perched above the HRH Beach Club, the day-to-night pool deck creates an exclusive, chic atmosphere that SKYBAR is known for - a lifestyle experience and icon. The perfect complement to the all-new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, sun-seeking guests enjoy the upper deck by day, while partygoers can escape the club scene to lounge under the stars by night. The intimate daytime pool setting and sophisticated evening environment overlooks the glittering expanse of the Las Vegas Strip.
"The new SKYBAR is the ultimate blend of Morgans Hotel Group's history of refined socializing and the evolution of the new Hard Rock," said Phil Shalala, CMO of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. "It is a continuation of the premier service and unparalleled atmosphere that we are known for."
SKYBAR features a distinctive acrylic-edged pool with three peek-a-boo cutouts in the floor that act as skylight windows to the lower HRH Beach Club. Guests can lounge on the plush bar seating, custom daybeds, couches and banquettes that pepper the teakwood plank floored area. The lower SKYBAR pool features 14 luxurious cabanas surrounding a circular infinity wading pool. The cabana menu showcases the HRH Beach Club Bar & Grill including HRH Cheeseburger Sliders, Crispy Shrimp, Chilled Fruit Skewers, a variety of platters for sharing and much more. SKYBAR features premium spirits, bottle service and signature cocktails such as the Manhattan LV, SKYBAR Margarita, Strip Cleanse and SKYBAR Smash. SKYBAR and HRH Beach Club nearly double the overall size of the hotel's pool area and offer guests a high-end and tranquil desert escape.
"SKYBAR has been a staple in the Los Angeles social scene for the past 14 years, entertaining celebrities from film, fashion, art, music, LA notables and hotel guests alike. We are looking forward to expanding our vision, brand and experience to yet another iconic property. The new HRH Tower is the perfect spot to further SKYBAR's legacy." Kendra Cole, SKYBAR in Los Angeles.
