In a city defined by nightlife, excess, and endless entertainment, Dazed Consumption Lounge brings a dazzling slice of cannabis culture to America’s adult playground. The speakeasy-inspired space—the newest in Planet 13’s expanding empire—blends mind-bending aesthetics with thoughtful functionality to create a destination for tourists, locals, connoisseurs, and novice consumers.
The journey into the lounge begins with a phone call.
“The entrance is a bit of a secret,” said Vice President of Retail Operations Lowell Brown. “When you approach the front door, you’re actually walking into an old-school, English-style phone booth. We wanted to make the entrance area private because a lot of people have never consumed in public before, and the idea of being watched or seen can be intimidating. We wanted it to be private and comfortable—to really put people at ease before they step inside.”
Those who have never used a rotary phone may be a little lost at first, but a hostess is available to demonstrate the proper technique.
“The hostess will say, ‘Spin the rotary, put in the numbers 420, and push the door open,” Brown said. “From there, visitors embark on an experience I can only describe as like entering the Willy Wonka chocolate factory. All of a sudden, they’re in a wonderland of lights, colors, and aromas.”
A Futuristic Cannabis Lounge with Surreal Design Elements
Dazed Consumption Lounge at Planet 13 Las Vegas is a one-of-a-kind cannabis-friendly speakeasy featuring stunning visual elements. The lounge’s interior showcases neon-lit wall designs, a surreal mural of red trees, and plush seating that encourages relaxation and social engagement. Multiple entertainment screens provide guests with a mix of sports, gaming, and cartoons, enhancing the interactive environment. Designed for both seasoned cannabis enthusiasts and first-time visitors, the lounge offers an unforgettable atmosphere that blends creativity, community, and comfort.
“That first aesthetic of the phone booth really carries throughout the lounge,” Brown said, clearly pleased with the effect. “You find yourself in this mental state where you’re transported into a world of color, creativity, and enjoyment.”
Spaceships adorn some walls, while colorful, Zen-inspired abstract designs are sprinkled across other vertical surfaces.
“One thing about consuming cannabis in this space is that there are so many elements of color and design, it really enhances your experience with consumption, because there is so much to take in and enjoy,” Brown said. “We definitely played into the space theme, but we also have some really beautiful, artistic graphics. There are murals of ladies who look like space creatures. One is smoking a joint, and another has cool flowers behind her. The artwork creates this really positive environment and a completely spectacular out-of-this-world experience.”
In other words, Dazed is unabashedly Instagrammable. That should come as no surprise. Planet 13’s Vegas location was one of the first dispensaries to embrace viral social-media marketing.
“I think people love taking photos inside the lounge to share with their friends,” Brown said. “It’s just one of those things. If you don’t have a picture of it, it didn’t happen in Vegas, right? Not only are guests excited about the products and what they’re doing, but they love sharing the space they’re in.
“We also have cannabis-infused cocktails in vibrant orange colors that go with the aesthetic,” he added. “Customers are overwhelmed in the best possible way.”
Dazed is the answer to an increasingly common question among Vegas tourists: “I just bought some weed at a dispensary … but where can I consume?” City ordinances explicitly prohibit consumption in public, hotel rooms, and short-term rentals. Licensed for public consumption, Dazed is one of a few safe spaces for tourists and others to partake responsibly and legally.
“For our more avid consumers, we also have some really nice, high-end equipment that’s quite the draw, like our electronic Puffco dab rigs or our Zenco devices,” Brown said. “This is a really fun experience for people who want to try a different consumption method. It’s another Instagrammable moment and an innovative way of consuming. You’re not just rolling up and smoking out of a bong—although we have those too.”
A Must-Visit Cannabis Lounge in Las Vegas for Tourists and Locals
The lounge isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s also a hub for community and entertainment. Weekly Ha Ha Comedy Nights feature local comedians and tie in with the in-house Ha Ha brand of infused sodas and gummies. Sports fans can enjoy watch parties for Las Vegas Raiders football games, Golden Knights hockey, or Ultimate Fighting Championship matches, which more often than not are accompanied by meet-and-greets with athletes.
“We want to make every experience special,” Brown said. “This is part of our initiative with the Planet 13 lifestyle brand, which focuses on apparel. So on fight nights, for example, we sell different types of fight club gear: gloves, shin guards, wraps, etc. UFC fighters come in and sign the gloves, so visitors have mementos to take home to their loved ones after their visit.”
Gaming, Socializing, and Cannabis: The Interactive Side of Dazed Lounge
Interactive elements, like a gaming wall styled after retro arcade games, add to the experience. Guests may play popular titles like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo Switch consoles, while pinball machines, board games, and tabletop games offer more nostalgic fun. For a fee, groups may rent VIP rooms boasting multiple TVs and gaming stations.
“There’s also a pinball machine in the back of the consumption lounge that is free to play,” Brown said. “People come in and challenge their friends, try to beat each other’s high scores. It’s a fun environment designed to amp up the interactivity.”
For special holidays like Halloween and New Year’s Eve, the lounge transforms itself with DJs and themed décor, inviting guests to party hearty as they consume.
“In general, we always want to match the tone of what’s happening in greater Vegas,” Brown said. “For example, in December we have a rodeo coming to town, so we might switch up the music. If we see a crowd coming in with cowboy hats, we’re throwing on some country music to complement their vibe.”
That being said, Dazed always aims to find a comfortable balance between Vegas hype and cannabis chill.
“I think the environment can really affect people’s high, and Vegas can be overstimulating,” Brown said. “So on normal days, we’ll play some 311 or reggae. We have a mix we shuffle through to make sure people aren’t experiencing anything negative or overwhelming.
“We want to keep people happy—and it always goes back to the concept of a speakeasy,” he continued. “You’re in your own private space that feels like you’re at a friend’s house. There’s no judgment, no competition, no one trying to outsmoke one another. You can go low, slow, and stick to your own, comfortable pace.
“We’re really proud of what we’ve built here,” he added. “Dazed Lounge is not just a place to consume cannabis; it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and the evolving culture. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a lifelong enthusiast, there’s something here for everyone.”
