    This is quite possibly the coolest speakeasy I've been to in Vegas. The door is so unassuming. I ordered something with the words "Send it". Zero regrets! Definitely worth it. It was fun seeing the 21 year olds taking shots out of jet skis too! Service was great, the place is loud. Decor is by far the most entertaining

    My wife and I had a great time at the Ski Lodge. The service was great, the drinks were delicious, and the pizza squares were amazing! The only downside I'll mention is the s'mores kit. We literally only received enough for one tiny s'more each. This thing was $32 bucks. Definitely not worth it. Aside from that, I would absolutely recommend a visit here. Finding it is pretty easy. Just look through TikTok or Google for directions. They're easy to come by.

    I love the theme and concept of this Speakeasy: a ski lodge is not something you'd expect in the middle of a desert! And to find the door to the Ski Lodge, well, we walked right past it! It looked like a closet door -- no kidding. The only reason I looked again was because someone wearing a jacket was standing by this alleged closet door, which seemed oddly suspicious! (I know, I should be a detective! Haha) The cocktail menu was inventive. I also appreciated their commitment to the themed decor, like the snow behind the bar. If we had more people, I would have wanted to do a group ski shot (literally shot glasses sitting on a ski, and you tip the ski so everyone drinks at the same time). It was so unique, like where else are you going to do that?!! We only stayed for one quick drink here because it was fairly tame and quiet. It was a small venue. And it didn't have good service, or at least an inviting and warm one, which was unfortunate and surprising. For a small place that wasn't busy, we could never find someone to help us. It took a long time to order, a long time to get our drink, and a long time to get our tab. I think Ski Lodge has a lot of potential. The theme is fabulous and the venue rocks. The service is important, and there is so much competition in Vegas that service is more than just serving drinks. People come to Speakeasies for an experience, or in the least, to feel welcomed.

    Don't sleep on this cute little hidden speakeasy bar inside of the cosmopolitan . We have a cute and cuddly table in the back that gave off ski lodge vibes without the freezing cold atmosphere. We enjoyed this bar on a non peak hour which I definitely recommend as it can get rather busy. My husband had their old fashioned type drink that was garnished with the most wonderful bruled persimmon.( this is the detail they should not leave off the menu as this was one of the best parts of this drink ) I had the grasshopper and it made my little mint chocolate chip ice-cream nostalgia spark. Delightful time.

    Was a nice change of pace from the big open bars in the rest of the strip. A hidden speakeasy in the cosmopolitan with a 1980s ski lodge theme. Cocktails were interesting with a great mix of aesthetic and flavor. I found the service responsive and just enjoyed the vibe overall. Smaller space, can get busy with a longer line. I went Friday around 5pm and waited for maybe 2 minutes.

    This was a tricky one to find...but we were up for the search, it makes it that much more fun to get in! **Look for the brass skis on the door (the door is hidden in plain sight). Once you are welcomed in, you are in for a treat in this cozy, dark, ski lodge inspired bar. We enjoyed the Slavas Snowstorm (espresso martini with a WARM cardamom foam) and the Radness not Sadness (I'd describe it as a spicy dirty martini with Wasabi infused vodka and pepperocini juice). The crew behind the bar were good as well as the person manning the entrance.

    Hidden inside the Cosmopolitan, Ski Lodge is one of the better speakeasies in Vegas. It's tucked away behind an unmarked door, which makes finding it part of the fun. Once inside, the vibe completely changes to cozy ski cabin, dim lighting, and even a snowy window that makes you forget you're in the desert. The cocktails are creative and really well made (a little pricey, but expected for Vegas), and the service is solid without being over the top. It's a smaller space, so expect a bit of a wait, especially on weekends. Overall, it's a unique spot that's perfect if you want something different from the typical Strip bar scene. Definitely worth checking out at least once.

    I have been to some pretty cool bars in my life, but this just might far and away be the best. It has everything I want in a place to grab a drink, excellent theming, friendly service, good mocktails (for me), good drinks (for my wife), and an amazing vibe. If you aren't familiar, this is kind of/sort of part of Superfrico, to gain entry you need to line up between some ski poles off to the side of the entrance, after a while someone will come out and take you in. The inside is just absolutely oozing with a cool (no pun intended) themed 80's vibe. My wife and I sat at the bar and got a drink each, I got some sort of bubblegum cola mocktail, which was fantastic, and my wife got some sort of vermouth based cocktail that she said "tastes like christmas", we were both VERY happy with our drinks. The staff was very friendly, and honestly its very impressive how good and fast they are at cranking out drinks. I think each bartender must have been making 8 drinks at once, every single one of them was made fast, got to the person it needed to, and if they were as good as ours was, all without sacrificing quality. Really top notch place, I loved it!

    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.

    It's right in front of Cosmo's buffet. We got there around 10pm and waited for about 20-30mins to get a table. I like the ski themed lounge definitely had the vibe! Cocktails were averaging between $23-$25. Ski shot was $18. It was kinda expensive. Only had one drink and a shot.

    We recently wanted to get a quick drink and liked coming here before. It used to be more of a speakeasy, but now its gotten more popular that we had to wait out in front for a bit to get in. Once we were in, we sat at the bar, which was nice. The bartender was super friendly and made our drinks quickly. The menu slightly changed from the last time we were there. We ordered the Gaffney's Numerical Assessment of Radness and Slava's Snowstorm. The Gaffney's drink was very well made. I enjoyed the hint the yuzu and sesame.

    I've been here a couple times now, and it's one of my favorite speakeasies. I love the vibes in here. They are elite. The line generally isn't too long. We have usually come on a weekend afternoon and haven't waited longer than 15-20 mins. I will say that some drinks are stronger than others. I ordered a Yard Sale and it tasted amazing, but not too much alcohol in it. I've also ordered the Full Send, No Refunds, and that one is a lot stronger. They have some creative, cool drinks. I like the atmosphere and energy they've created in here. They don't have food other than 3 pizzas and a s'mores kit to order. Random but nice addition.

    My friends and I ended up coming here after striking out at two other speakeasies/bars, and I'm so glad we didn't give up. The location was a little tricky to find at first, but once we noticed a small line of people waiting near Wicked Spoon and the subtle ski symbol on the door next to it, we knew we were in the right place. It definitely has that hidden speakeasy vibe. We were initially quoted about a 20-minute wait, but to our pleasant surprise, we were seated in under 10 minutes. After wandering around the Cosmopolitan for a while trying to find a themed bar or speakeasy, this was such a relief and really set a positive tone for the night. We each ordered one of their holiday-themed cocktails, and every single one was a hit. The drinks were well-balanced, flavorful, and not overly sweet, which we really appreciated. You can tell some thought and care went into the cocktail menu. On top of that, our server was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Overall, this spot ended up being a great find and a perfect way to salvage our night. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, festive speakeasy experience in or near the Cosmopolitan.

All I remember was going through the casino areas of Paris Hotel, and then going down one floor to the Horseshoe area to reach this bar just minutes before closing on a Friday close to midnight. I quickly grabbed a seat at the bar area and perused the menu, which has a ton of drinks, beers, wines, mocktails and even snacks. Even when close to closing time, patrons filled up all the bar seating which isn't a lot; most seating was couches and tables near the knickknacks. I got myself the Bee's Knees, which is cranberry and pineapple juice, apple puree, cinnamon fire syrup and some ginger beer according to their menu just outside the front entrance. I can only describe the taste as a sweetened fruit juice with a ton of fizz from the ginger beer, and the pineapple and apple came out on top for overpowering the drink overall. Some mint leaves and a slice of grapefruit were added in, and the mint leaves made this drink feel more like a special cocktail. This and other mocktails is $13 before tax, so pretty high price especially when considering their other alcoholic drinks are not that much higher than that... I actually still loved my drink, though! It was a nice wrap-up for my last day in Vegas and I'm curious now to look a lot more carefully at the stuff on the walls if I ever come here again!

Overall, it was a great experience, and I would return again in the future. Expect drink prices to range from about $30 to $70, with some even higher for the "market price" drinks.
