eight Lounge is more than a cigar destination; it is a manifestation of indulgence and sophistication. Located within Resorts World Las Vegas, this 7,000-square-foot masterpiece blends modern luxury with an unwavering respect for tradition. At the helm of this vibrant venue is Giuseppe Bravo, a Las Vegas entrepreneur whose vision redefines the art of cigar appreciation. At just 32 years old, Bravo has cemented his place as a dynamic force in the city’s lifestyle scene, owning both eight Lounge and Bravo Tickets, a premier ticket brokerage firm.

eight Lounge’s ambiance is an invitation to elevate every sense. Its centrepiece is the custom-built humidor, a labyrinth of fine tobaccos divided into eight meticulously curated sections. Maintaining a constant 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 70% humidity, this sanctuary for cigars showcases premium blends from around the globe. Whether it is the approachable $18 classics or the exclusive $1,500 Gurkha Maharaja, each selection speaks to both novices and aficionados. The humidor also boasts 48 private lockers, adorned with personalized gold nameplates. Priced at $5,000 annually, these lockers are coveted by elite members, including Michael Jordan, Luke Bryan, Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez, and Canadian sport and industry icon Wayne Gretzky.

As the name suggests, eight Lounge draws inspiration from the auspicious number in Chinese culture, a symbol of prosperity and infinity. The venue unfolds into eight distinct spaces, seamlessly transitioning from the refined interior to a picturesque outdoor terrace. This adaptability makes eight a destination for every occasion, whether it is a high-stakes networking event or a casual evening of relaxation. Sundays transform the lounge into a haven for sports enthusiasts, combining the thrill of NFL action with the luxury of a fine cigar and a crafted cocktail.

The beverage program at eight Lounge is a harmonious extension of its cigar offerings. With a team of expert mixologists, the bar presents an array of signature drinks designed to complement the nuanced flavours of premium tobaccos. Exclusive creations like the Barrel-Aged Boulevardier and elevated classics such as the Manhattan and Old Fashioned offer an impeccable pairing experience. Connoisseurs of whisky and bourbon will find themselves equally impressed by the extensive selection, each pour chosen to enhance the indulgent journey.
