Skyfall Lounge
You may be over references to James Bond, but the new bar and lounge that connects with Alain Ducasse's vertiginous Rivea restaurant is not. The jewel-toned room is one of the best places on the Strip to settle in for the living theater that is a flaming Las Vegas sunset over the Red Rock Conservation Area. Do it with a cocktail from the bar menu (perhaps from the "Shaken and Stirred" category).
