# Hidden Gem Alert: The Ski Lodge Speakeasy at The Cosmopolitan **★★★★★ Must-Do Vegas Experience** You absolutely HAVE to hit up this place when you’re in Vegas. Period! This isn’t your typical Vegas bar - it’s something completely different and that’s exactly what makes it so special. The Experience We got there right at noon when they opened and had to wait a few minutes, but that’s part of the charm. Someone comes out to set up the ropes and organize the line - it’s all very mysterious and exclusive feeling. Once you’re in, they tell you exactly where to sit, which adds to that authentic speakeasy vibe. The Drinks The bartenders here are absolutely incredible - true artists behind the bar. Yes, the drinks are $25 each, but trust me, they’re worth every penny. These aren’t your standard Vegas cocktails; they’re crafted experiences that match the unique atmosphere perfectly. What to Know Before You Go **Important tip:** They don’t serve food until 3pm, so plan accordingly if you’re looking to eat. We got there right at opening (noon) and were glad we had eaten beforehand. The Vibe This place is the perfect escape from all the craziness that is Vegas. While the Strip is all bright lights and chaos, the Ski Lodge Speakeasy offers this cozy, intimate atmosphere that feels like you’ve been transported somewhere completely different. It’s that contrast that makes it so memorable. Bottom Line This is one of those experiences that sets Vegas apart from any other destination. It’s not just about gambling and shows - it’s about discovering these hidden gems that give you stories to tell for years. The Ski Lodge Speakeasy delivers that in spades. Make the time, spend the money, and prepare for something totally unique. Would I go back? Absolutely. This is going straight to the top of my “must-visit every Vegas trip” list.

From Vegas summer to Ski Lodge relaxation. Everything was wonderful about this lodge. Atmosphere is on point, cozy and intimate. We were able to sit back in the big chairs by the "fireplace " and enjoyed our cocktails. The cocktails! Over the top, not just appearance, they tasted as great as they looked. Wonderful service, making the experience even better. The upside down christmas trees on the ceiling, visual backdrop behind the bar, all making the vibe come together. We had the best night here. The shotski is a must!!

We stopped by this place as it was close to where we were staying and just wanted to have a nightcap. The place is tucked inside the Cosmo hotel. It's not too hard to find, if you know what to look for. The inside was cozy and had the old school vibes to it. I liked the music that they were playing that night. We ordered the Coffee Chopper and Niseko Old Fashioned. Both of the drinks were well made and wish waiting for. They did also have some food items, but we weren't hungry to try.

Great hidden speak easy in the Cosmo. Atmosphere is incredible. Custom themed drink menu. Loved the Deadly Sip and the Slavas Snowstorm was delicious. Spend some time checking out the entire room.

Amazing bar and probably our favorite speakeasy if the trip. Really cool setup inside and felt like a real ski lodge in the north. Loved the old school visit tv playing a bruce lee movie! The drinks were really good and some of the best we had on the trip.

Was in Vegas for only 36 hours to attend a wedding and had no idea where to go. Thankfully I found this speakeasy through searching and this was my favorite part of the trip. The ambience is so cool, they play great music, and the cocktails are absolute perfection. My sister enjoyed their mocktail as well. My only regret is that we came here late so the kitchen was closed. If I’m ever back in Vegas I’ll definitely return here.

We stopped by this really cool bar after being told about it and it was really a great experience. It’s on the side of the Cosmopolitan near Bellagio. It has a cool door with a tiny ski logo. We arrived right when it opened and it already had a line. We got in and got to sit in the chairs by the fireplace and it was really cool. The staff was fantastic and the drinks were very well made. Nicole was amazing and I had a wonderful time

The Ski Lodge Speakeasy is an absolute must-visit! The drinks are fantastic, and the s’mores dessert is deliciously indulgent. If you’re a fan of espresso martinis, you have to try theirs—it’s amazing! Alternatively, ask for the chocolate martini with coconut foam, and you won’t regret it. I’m still dreaming about that drink! The cozy, stylish atmosphere adds to the charm, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure. Highly recommend this place for great cocktails and a unique experience!

Came to this speakeasy on the first night of our Vegas trip and was able to walk up for seats on a Wednesday around 1am. The Bartender was so nice and my cocktail was amazing. The speakeasy itself is decorated so well and in theme. You can even sign a dollar and they will hang it up! The entry door was super easy to find but discreet. Highly recommend this as a stop before dinner or for a Cosmo Bar Hop.

Very cool immersive speak easy bar located within the cosmo. staff was not very personal, but maybe that's because it was a busy time. We waited a bit before greeted by server and felt rushed , she wasn't too helpful in explaining the drinks . The drinks we did order were absolutely delicious , I ordered the yard sale, it was absolutely clear but tasted like a peanut butter mudslide. Attention to detail in the ambiance really made us feel like we were back in Vail Colorado at a ski lodge . Loved the mini bra's in the aspen table light.

Fantastic atmosphere and delicious drinks. The bartender that day was a joke. He was more interested in catering to these young ladies than the rest of the customers seated at the bar…..and it wasn’t even busy. I’ve had better customer service at McDonald’s.

We finally checked this place out on a recent guys trip and had a good time. The ambience is awesome. Definitely wouldn’t be able to tell you’re in Vegas. The house made cocktails were great. The bourbon selection was awesome. We even did a shot-ski! We got there too early to try the food (not available until 3), but it gives us another reason to come back. The bartenders were friendly and gave great recommendations. Check them out!

If you’re willing to search for it, the ski lodge speakeasy inside the Cosmopolitan is absolutely worth the effort. Walking in felt like stepping into a cozy mountain bar—complete with snow in the window and all the cabin-style details you'd hope for. The theming was top-tier and surprisingly immersive. The highlight? A tiny 10-inch bra-covered Christmas tree sitting smack dab in the middle of our table. Unexpected, hilarious, and somehow perfectly on-brand for the whole vibe. We were lucky to walk right in with no line since we got there early and were led through the Superfrico restaurant. The main door doesn’t open until later, but someone was waiting there to direct us where to go! By the time we left, though, there was quite a crowd waiting outside, so definitely plan ahead if you want to avoid a wait. The drinks were definitely on the expensive side and a bit small, but that’s pretty much the standard for Vegas, especially in a themed spot like this. Still, the experience made it more than worth it. If you like unique, well-designed bars and don’t mind hunting a little to find them, this one’s a great escape from the typical Strip scene.

We visited June 2025. This is a speakeasy in the Cosmopolitan Hotel and casino. I’ll let you find it. Super cool interior, cozy, dark, but loud. We had a couple drinks and relaxed with a large group. No drink minimum. The host was a bit over the top - that’s all I’ll say. Cool place to check out when in Vegas!

Hidden behind a black door with a small skier plate, this cozy speakeasy delivers major après-ski vibes with a fun, party atmosphere. The cocktails are creative, a little weird, and totally worth it. A unique spot that's well worth finding. We stopped in for cocktails only. We ordered the Salty Sleddog & Head for Business, Body for Sin. Both were delicious, however steer clear of the crazy gelatin shape in the Head for Business, Body for Sin. It is disgusting.
