The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails

Where: The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

Get groomed and get your drink on at The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails, where retro vibes meet modern mixology. This Las Vegas speakeasy is a swanky lounge that’s a barbershop by day and a bustling bar by night.

To access the bar, head into the barbershop and find the white “Janitor” door by the restrooms. Then, enter! You’ll immediately be transported to a luxurious feeling prohibition-era bar that offers a wide selection of whiskeys.

Live bands perform every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in an intimate setting. They also have Faded Karaoke nights on Tuesday if that’s more your style.

Don’t forget to strike a pose in their vintage-inspired photo booth before heading out for the night.

Ski Lodge

Where: The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

The Ski Lodge at The Cosmopolitan will whisk you away to an alpine retreat… no matter what the weather is outside. It can be Christmas anytime for you — if you know where to find it.

Once inside, expect all the witner cabin vibes! You’ll also be greeted with the city’s most sophisticated cocktail and pizza program, curated by renowned mixologists Leo Robitschek and Mauro Villalobos, and crafted by Chef Anthony Falco.

Whether you’re sipping on a seasonally-inspired cocktail, stuffing your face with a frico-crusted square pizza, or cooking s’mores over your personal campfire pot, every moment at The Ski Lodge promises to be totally fun.

To get there, head to the second floor of the Chelsea Tower next to Superfrico. Look for a door that exudes… winter skiing vibes. The door resembles a wooden ski lodge entrance. Just remember, this winter oasis is open to guests 21 and over only.

Ghost Donkey

Where: The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

Ghost Donkey is yet another speakeasy concept inside of The Cosmo. At this point, are you even surprised? There are so many “hidden” experiences within the resort!

This tequila and mezcal lounge features a menu inspired by the alluring ingredients and flavors of Mexico, creating a true fiesta-like experience. We recommend you pair your tasting flight or cocktail with their signature Truffle Nachos to elevate your experience that much more.

Need help locating Ghost Donkey? Head to the back of Block 16 and look for the door that has a colorful donkey painted on it. The food hall is on the second floor of the Boulevard Tower.

1923 Prohibition Bar

Where: Mandalay Bay

If you’re looking for a fun, speakeasy-style experience at Mandalay Bay, do not miss the quaint 1923 Prohibition Bar (located inside The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay). This hidden-in-plain-sight bar takes you back to the roaring 20s, complete with period-specific decor, live jazz music, and classic cocktails!

The bar’s menu features a variety of classic cocktails, including the Old Fashioned, Mint Julep, and Sazerac, as well as some signature drinks, such as the Gatsby’s Gin Fiz, Tajin Temptation, and the Speakesy Strange Rush.

If you’re an Old-Fashioned connoisseur (we’re referring to the cocktail), they offer a good amount of specialty Old-Fashioned’s to choose from. When we went, there was a Maple Bacon Old-Fasioned, Butter Pecan Old-Fasioned, and even a PB&J Old-Fasioned! Fancy a flight of bourbon instead? They’ve got tasting flights too.

To get there, it’s really not hard at all. Just look out for the random, slightly closed door (you’ll need to push against a ‘wall’ to get in). You’ll almost forget you were just inside of a mall!

PRO TIP: Looking for other bars at the Mandalay Bay to try after this one? You’ll find a lot of cool options, like minus5 Ice Bar, Foundation Room (rooftop), and Skyfall Lounge (rooftop)!

Speakeasy at The Mob Museum

Where: 300 Stewart Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89101 (Downtown Las Vegas)

The Mob Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of mobs, organized crime, and law enforcement. What most people don’t know is that The Mob Museum is so much more than a place to learn about mob history.

Inside, you’ll find a cool distillery where you can take a fun tour and taste different spirits, including their own moonshine. This moonshine is the real deal—made with 100% corn and bottled at a strong 50% ABV.

There’s also a speakeasy that feels straight out of the Prohibition era, where you can sip on amazing cocktails in a hidden, vintage bar. With all that fun housed inside just one spot, The Mob Museum is a no-brainer when it comes to a great daytime activity.
