Stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip aren’t hard to come by, but the best rooftop spots have a certain je ne sais quoi. Just look at JRS Hospitality and its portfolio of Strip-side patios and beer gardens several stories up. Following suit is Chéri Rooftop at Paris, a welcome addition from the group behind Alexxa’s and Beer Park.
Previously known as Chateau, Chéri ushers in the next generation of nightlife, one that favors a chic and cool party under the stars instead of a night spent raging in the club.
The 9,000-square-foot space is an absolute vision beneath the moonlight, resembling a Parisian terrace overgrown with summertime greenery. Healthy foliage braids its way through the archway entrance, providing a nice backdrop for the ’Gram. The Eiffel Tower overhead also never gets old; it’s such a stunning Vegas showpiece that never fails to draw a wow from newcomers—which it most definitely did during Formula 1 weekend.
On the menu, Chéri covers all its bases with plenty of beer, wine, rosé and sparkling Champagne to celebrate those wins. But the French-inspired cocktails are the showstoppers here. Whiskey sour lovers will adore the Eiffel Sour ($18) mixed with Rittenhouse rye, Disaronno, lemon, cherry and bitters. Margarita’s Trip to Paris ($20) washes the palate in floral notes thanks to the St. Germain elderflower, while those looking for a smoky smooth flavor should opt for The Devil’s Smoke ($20). Brandy-based cocktails like My Angel ($20), featuring an apple cinnamon syrup that evens out the bite of the Hennessy, also make for tasty nightcaps. The bar also offers large format cocktails of Old Fashioneds and different sangrias that serve between six and eight people.
Chéri had big party shoes to fill, stepping into Chateau’s place. But like the beautiful garden scenery all around, it’s growing on us.
