Las Vegas is fast becoming the place where cannabis culture slips out of the dispensary and onto the dance floor. For consumers, the city’s emerging mix of licensed lounges, tribal venues and industry-week parties offers something close to a dedicated cannabis nightlife circuit—if you know where to look.
A natural starting point is Dazed! Consumption Lounge at the Planet 13 Entertainment Complex, just west of the Strip. Billed as a “first-of-its-kind cannabis entertainment venue,” Dazed! sits inside Planet 13’s flagship SuperStore and wraps consumption in full Vegas spectacle: neon murals, speakeasy-style phone-booth entrance, VIP booths, and a rotating menu of canna-cocktails and premium flower. Industry outlets note that Planet 13 designed the 3,000-square-foot lounge specifically for game days, special events and brand pop-ups, giving travelers a legal place to sesh, snack and socialize before heading back to the Strip.
For a totally different vibe, many locals swear by Sky High Lounge at the NuWu Cannabis Marketplace, operated by the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe just north of downtown. Sky High evolved from Nevada’s first legal cannabis tasting room into a 16,000-square-foot lounge with dab bars, food, a rooftop terrace and regular live entertainment, all under tribal regulations rather than state lounge rules. Visitors can pair infused mocktails with a view of Fremont Street, then roll downstairs to the massive marketplace for late-night shopping.
Beyond brick-and-mortar lounges, Vegas cannabis parties spike during big industry weeks. MJBizCon, the world’s largest cannabis B2B conference, anchors a dense calendar of after-hours events every winter. Official and affiliated gatherings range from expo-floor mixers to full-scale after-parties like “NuWu After Hours,” where conference badge-holders head to the tribe’s three-acre venue for brand activations, DJ sets and “Flower Hour” pop-ups. Unofficial party guides track dozens more private socials, rooftop sessions and sponsor-hosted blowouts that turn the Strip into a roaming cannabis meetup.
All of this exists against a tightly regulated backdrop. Nevada voters approved adult-use cannabis in 2016, and the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) now oversees licensing, operations and consumption-lounge rules with a “gold standard” framework modeled on the state’s gaming regulation. State-licensed lounges like Dazed! must separate cannabis from alcohol service, manage ventilation, monitor dosing and comply with detailed visibility and safety rules—factors that help explain why only a handful of lounges have opened so far, even though dozens of licenses have been awarded.
For consumers, that makes planning essential. Always confirm whether a venue is state-licensed or tribally regulated, review house rules on smoking vs. vaping, and check Nevada’s official “Know the Law” guidance so your night out stays inside legal lines when you step off lounge property. Do that, and Las Vegas offers something rare: a city where cannabis parties, rooftop dab sessions and industry-week socials are not just tolerated, but increasingly curated as part of the nightlife itself.
