Overview
Eight Cigar Lounge, located on the first floor of Resorts World Las Vegas, delivers exactly the Vegas cigar bar experience you’d picture: expansive, plush, and dripping with ambience. The space is segmented thoughtfully, with intimate two seat areas alongside larger group sections, plus private meeting rooms and a sprawling outdoor patio. The bar is excellent, the staff are polished and attentive, and ventilation is above average. The one surprise is the humidor. Given the size of the venue, the cigar selection feels smaller than expected. Prices run premium across the board, which tracks for the location. If you’re staying at Resorts World this is effortless to access; if you’re elsewhere on the Strip, lean on Google Maps.
Clean, well maintained, and properly humidified, but noticeably modest in size and selection relative to the scale of the venue. This isn’t a knock on quality, the cigars on hand are kept well, but if you’re expecting the humidor to match the grandeur of the room, temper that expectation a bit.
This is a big space, and it’s designed well. Seating is segmented into intimate pairings and larger group areas, so the room works whether you’re settling in solo, with one friend, or with a crowd. Furniture is plush and comfortable throughout. The outdoor patio adds multiple additional seating areas. Ambience is rich without feeling stuffy, exactly the polished Vegas cigar bar experience you’d expect walking in.
Staff are professional, attentive, and clearly trained to anticipate patron needs. Don’t expect the same hometown warmth you’d find at a small local lounge, this is a different kind of service model, but it’s executed well and the attentiveness is consistent.
Located inside Resorts World Las Vegas, access is simple if you’re staying there. From elsewhere on the Strip, the location can be a bit tricky to find, but it’s nothing Google Maps can’t solve. Prices on cigars and drinks run premium, consistent with the Vegas setting, so plan accordingly. Hours are generous, opening at noon and running into the early morning hours for those who want to make a night of it.
The bar program stands out, and the smoked old fashioned comes recommended both for taste and presentation. No explicit policy against bringing your own cigars was observed, but Smokelore’s standard take applies here: if there’s no stated policy, be a good patron and support the business with at least a drink, and ideally a cigar, before lighting up something you brought in. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way for venues investing in great spaces and paying their staff well.
Standout Moments
Settling into one of the plush outdoor patio seats with a smoked old fashioned in hand, taking in the scale and polish of the room, is a solid summary of what this lounge does best.
Who would love this lounge
Vegas visitors wanting a cigar experience that matches the city’s scale and energy. Groups looking for a spot that accommodates both intimate conversation and larger gatherings. Anyone who values ambience, service, and a strong bar program as much as the cigar selection itself.
FINAL VERDICT
Eight Cigar Lounge delivers the big, polished Vegas experience in full, just don’t expect the humidor to be the star of the show.
