Cannabis lounges are reshaping how people travel, shop, and socialize with the plant. Instead of rushing back to a hotel room, consumers in legal markets can now linger over joints, dabs, and THC mocktails in stylish, curated spaces that feel more like cocktail bars than head shops. Here’s a look at some of the standout lounges that tourists and locals are building trips around across the U.S.
In Las Vegas, the Dazed! Consumption Lounge inside the Planet 13 Entertainment Complex has quickly become a bucket-list stop. The speakeasy-inspired space pairs vivid art, plush seating, and mood lighting with a menu of premium flower, concentrates, and rotating “canna-cocktails,” all served steps away from the world-famous superstore. Visitors can browse the massive retail floor, then step into Dazed! to sip, vape, or dab in a legal, hosted environment. Trip planners can check hours, menus, and event nights at dazedlounge.com.
Just north of the Fremont Street Experience, Sky High Lounge at NuWu Cannabis delivers a completely different Vegas vibe. Operated by the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe, NuWu bills itself as the world’s largest dispensary and Nevada’s original cannabis lounge, featuring a dab bar, Sky High rooftop terrace, and a 24-hour drive-thru downstairs. Guests can grab fresh concentrates, carts, or pre-rolls from the enormous marketplace and head upstairs to enjoy them on the open-air deck with Strip views. Details and event calendars are posted at nuwu.vegas.
For travelers headed to Colorado, Tetra Private Lounge & Garden in Denver’s RiNo Arts District blends members-club energy with laid-back social smoking. The lounge offers both indoor and outdoor spaces, complimentary rolling papers, and rental options for vaporizers, bongs, and dab rigs so visitors don’t have to pack hardware in their luggage. A regular calendar of DJ sets, art events, and themed nights keeps the atmosphere lively. Curious visitors can explore membership options and day-pass details at tetralounge.com.
Back in California, West Hollywood remains one of the country’s most mature lounge markets. Original Cannabis Cafe (formerly Lowell Cafe) is widely recognized as the first full-service cannabis restaurant in the United States, pairing farm-to-table dishes with a robust flower and pre-roll menu. “Flower hosts” help guests choose strains and consumption methods that match their meal and tolerance, while the leafy patio keeps the vibe casual and social. Menus and reservations live at cannabis.cafe.
A few blocks away, The Woods WeHo offers a lush, tropical escape co-founded by Woody Harrelson and partners. With koi ponds, dense greenery, and private cabanas available to rent, the space feels more like a jungle resort than a city lounge. Guests can shop a curated lineup of premium California flower, then settle into the “Ganja Garden” to smoke, sip mocktails, or catch a live event. Travelers can book cabanas and browse specials at thewoodsweho.com.
Wherever they land, consumers should always review local rules—age limits, purchase caps, and on-site consumption laws still vary by state and city. But for tourists who want more than a quick dispensary run, these lounges show how cannabis hospitality is evolving into a true destination experience.
