Speakeasies in Las Vegas
Several Las Vegas speakeasies hide inside the food halls of Strip resorts, behind doors that take some finding. The best speakeasies in Las Vegas include Ski Lodge at Superfrico, an unmarked apres-ski cabin at The Cosmopolitan that takes no reservations, and Ghost Donkey, a mezcal and tequila den behind a door marked with a donkey in the same hotel's food hall. At ARIA, Easy's Cocktail Lounge sits behind a doughnut stand with live music nightly. Downtown, The Laundry Room inside Commonwealth seats sixteen, so book weeks ahead, while The Cabinet of Curiosities at Horseshoe hides The Lock behind a code. These are the bars we would start with.

Ski Lodge at Superfrico
A 2025 Spirited Awards regional honoree created by Spiegelworld, the company behind Absinthe and Atomic Saloon, Ski Lodge hides behind a nondescript door marked only by a bronze skier emblem inside the Cosmopolitan. The Alpine lodge aesthetic, elevated classics, and frico-crusted square pizzas from the connected Superfrico restaurant create a speakeasy experience that operates on theatrical terms. Bartenders Jason and Jonathan draw consistent praise for a program that channels mountain-lodge warmth into Strip-side sophistication. Ski Lodge proves that the Cosmopolitan alone could sustain a top-ten list.

Easy's Cocktail Lounge
Easy's is a speakeasy at ARIA reached through Easy Donuts in the Proper Eats food hall, run by Clique Hospitality. The small room has plush velvet seating facing a stage with live jazz-style music every night. Drinks are presented with dry-ice fog, flowers and ice molds, such as the Shroomin', gin, matcha, lemon and honey in mushroom-shaped glasses on a mossy plank.

Ghost Donkey
Behind a green door marked with a white donkey in the Cosmopolitan's Block 16 food hall, Ghost Donkey channels a mezcal-and-tequila program through a space intimate enough that every guest sits within conversation distance of the bartender. Artisanal mezcal tasting flights, specialty nachos spanning mole chicken to truffle options, and a late-night energy that builds as the Strip outside peaks. Ghost Donkey treats agave spirits with the curatorial seriousness of a mezcalería in a setting that operates with speakeasy discretion.

The Cabinet of Curiosities
The Cabinet of Curiosities is a bar on Horseshoe Las Vegas's lower level styled as a Victorian collector's mansion, with bookcases of odd artefacts and puzzles built into the room. Inside it hides The Lock, a speakeasy reached by cracking a code, with its own secret menu. The bar also runs mixology classes in a dedicated classroom.

The Laundry Room is a 16-seat speakeasy hidden inside Commonwealth on Fremont Street, marked only by a clothespin by the door.
