About Hazel Coffee and Cocktails

Hazel Coffee and Cocktails is the Mandalay Bay lounge built for people who want a great drink without getting swallowed by the casino floor. It sits near the hotel lobby, just off the gaming area, in the space that used to be the Orchid Lounge, and it plays the role of the resort’s living room: a place to meet, regroup, and slow down on the Las Vegas Strip. Owned by MGM Resorts International, it opens at 6 AM and pours until 1 AM, so the same room handles a pre-meeting espresso and a late-night Old Fashioned without missing a beat.

The design is the first thing you notice. Bishop Pass shaped the space like an old-world European boutique, with gold lounge sofas, green velvet chairs, and cobalt-blue Chesterfield banquettes set against brass accents and antique mirrors. The jewel tones are bold but warm, and the whole room feels like a deliberate exhale from the noise and neon a few steps away. Live entertainment adds another layer, and the seating works for a quiet one on one or a longer evening with friends. This is what a true “third space” looks like on the Strip: not your hotel room, not the casino, but somewhere you actually want to sit.

Mornings belong to LAMILL Coffee, an award-winning roaster whose beans are pulled into specialty espresso drinks and finished with serious latte art. The lounge backs the caffeine with a short menu of in-house breakfast and lunch items, including fresh parfaits, artisan sandwiches, and crisp salads. It is an easy stop before a day at the Mandalay Bay convention center, which covers about 2 million square feet, or a slow start after a late night out.

When the sun goes down, the lounge flips into craft cocktail mode without changing rooms. The menu, designed by Craig Schoettler of MGM Resorts, pairs time-honored classics like the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Martini with modern, adventurous creations, and the bar sets out complimentary snacks to go with your drinks. Most Strip spots pick a lane: cafés that close by noon, or bars that wake up at night. Hazel does both.

5 Reasons Hazel Coffee and Cocktails Earns Your Time

1. A true third space. Its spot near the lobby makes it an easy morning meeting point and a quiet late-night retreat from the casino.
2. Award-winning LAMILL coffee. You get premium roasts from a respected roaster, served with artisan-style latte art.
3. Masterfully crafted cocktails. Craig Schoettler’s menu delivers a polished drink from the first sip to the last.
4. European boutique design. Velvet, brass, and jewel tones give the lounge a character that is rare in a resort this large.
5. Morning to night service. From 6 AM to 1 AM, one room covers breakfast, lunch, and craft cocktails.

Hazel lives inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, a 120 acre property with Mandalay Bay Beach, the Shark Reef Aquarium, and Mandalay Bay Events Center, plus three hotel experiences: Mandalay Bay, the Four Seasons Hotel, and Delano Las Vegas. It makes an easy anchor for a full day on the south end of the Strip. For the full tour of the property, see our Mandalay Bay Resort Las Vegas profile.

Know Before You Go

Hazel Coffee and Cocktails is open daily from 6 AM to 1 AM, which makes it one of the more flexible stops on this end of the Strip. Hours can shift around holidays and special events, so confirm with the resort if timing matters. The lounge is inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino at 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, near the hotel lobby and just off the casino floor. Guests staying at Mandalay Bay, the Four Seasons, or Delano can reach it with a short walk to the lobby. If you are driving in, head for the main hotel lobby; Hazel sits right beside it, so there is no need to wander the casino to find it.

Timing shapes the experience. Early mornings run quieter and suit a coffee and a laptop, while the stretch before conference sessions can get busy, so give yourself a few extra minutes. Evenings are best for the cocktail program and live entertainment, and later at night the room becomes a calm landing spot after a show at Mandalay Bay Events Center or a long run on the casino floor. Weekends and event nights draw bigger groups, so arrive a little early to claim a sofa or banquette. A lounge like this is built for walk ins, but if you are planning for a larger group, call (877) 632-7700 and ask what the resort can arrange.

Because Hazel serves alcohol and sits close to the gaming floor, guests under 21 should check with the resort before planning a visit with kids, and everyone should carry a valid photo ID for cocktails. No formal dress code is listed, so Strip casual works, though the room rewards a little polish if you are making an evening of it. The food stays simple, with parfaits, sandwiches, and salads for breakfast and lunch and complimentary snacks at the bar in the evening, so treat Hazel as a place for a drink and a bite rather than a full dinner.

When you are ready for a meal, Mandalay Bay’s collection of restaurants is steps away. A quick call is the fastest way to confirm current hours, entertainment, and menu details before you go.
