Las Vegas has a way of making every day feel like the weekend, and the Cosmopolitan’s Sunset Cocktail Hour is a perfect example.

The rooftop party, which kicks off around sundown every Thursday at the Boulevard Pool’s North Bar, brings the essence of a late-night lounge into an open-air setting where the night is still young. Sweeping Strip views offer the perfect backdrop and live mixes by saxophonist and DJ Natty Rico keep partiers on their feet when they aren’t noshing on shareable bites like smoked pork belly buns ($10) and hummus fries ($12), or sipping a grapefruit-tinged Pink Paloma ($18) or Tea Time ($18) cocktail with Ruku gin, green tea and spiced honey ginger syrup.

It’s not uncommon for Rico to interact, standing on tables and playing sax all the way back to the decks before dropping the beat to Cardi B’s “I Like It.”

Sunset Cocktail Hour has no business being this fun on a weekday, but we’ve got no complaints. It’s the perfect place to unwind with a few drinks, plan your night’s next adventure and start the weekend just a bit early.
