    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Of the 3 "hidden speakeasies" in Cosmo. This one is very cool. Pretty good time here. Drinks were great and ambience is fun. It gets busy and there will be a line.

    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.

    If you like finding speakeasy's I suggest finding the ski lodge hidden near wicked spoon in the Cosmopolitan. Once you walk through Superfrico to get to the speakeasy you're immersed into a cozy ski lodge. I went during the holidays so it only seemed fitting to check it out. The speakeasy has a seasonal menu and had lots of winter themed drinks that pair perfectly with the ambiance. I went on a weekend and it starts to get busy around 9. It's pretty small inside so if you're planning on going with a big group I would plan for extra time waiting in line.

    A little bit of everything!

    We love coming here! It is such a fun place with good drinks and good ambiance! The menu is changed here and there but the drinks and service never disappoint! Highly recommend! Find it if you can!

    There was a bit of a line to get in, but this was a very cool speakeasy vibe. The drinks were so delicious and unique and we absolutely love the themes. You can also order a shot ski to do with your friends.

    Super stealth speakeasy located in Cosmo. Look for the ski poles and the big black door near Wicked Spoon. There is a hostess who will help you with wait times and escorting you to the ski lodge. The vibe here is like a show. Seriously... windows that look out over snowy landscape, a fire place with cozy chairs, a bar, seating areas tucked in all nooks and crannies, and just an overall chalet vibe. Actually, a moody chalet. Very intimate space. Drink options are super unique and you will want to try several. Can't remember what the two were that we ordered. Had to pull out the old phone light as the place is dark. One had a cucumber slice with some spicy sprinkle of something on it. Both drinks were absolutely delicious. Ordered the s'mores kit to munch on. It was delightful and an experience within itself. Comes on a board with a pit that they actually light on fire. You then roast your own marshmallows and assemble your treat. The cookies are shaped like penguins and are gingerbread (one was missing a foot - poor guy). The chocolate is a mix of white and milk. This is decadent! Super rich. Just adorable presentation as well. This is a place you don't want to miss. We ended up waiting about 40 minutes as they were switching over from a private event. We were told 10-15 minutes multiple times. The hostess was incredible though. Very friendly. Know that you are paying for the experience here. Drinks are $25 each. It's not cheap, but you get high quality!!!

    Ski Lodge is a super cool speakeasy located in the Cosmopolitan hotel! You can find a nondescript door and walk into a winter ski lodge. Everything is super well themed and it transports you to feeling like you're in a cozy and warm cabin. The drinks are a bit pricey, but that's standard for Vegas. 25-30$ at least. I did get the "Not the Buttons" which was a gingerbread old fashioned with a build your own gingerbread man on the side! Super fun!! They also have a "shotski" which you can take flavored shots off a ski at the same time with your friends. You can do 2 or up to 5 people on 1 ski. Overall this is a cool stop if you want a good cocktail with an ambiance

He made it, but the drink I got didn't really have any of the flavors described.

I really appreciated this because the way she phrased her question told me they had availability and we would be granted entry. The bar is very small and seats about 30. Reservations are strongly encouraged, however we went on a Monday in February. If you're going on a weeknight during off peak season, you should be okay without a reservation. The hostess gave us the option of sitting at the bar or at a table. We asked her for her rec and she said the bar so that's what we chose. The decor is beautiful. The ambiance is dark and moody. It's perfect for a date night. We were greeted by both bartenders. I believe the bartender that made our drinks was Rory. He was very nice and knowledgeable about cocktails. He was able to answer our questions and make suggestions based on our preferences. As we browsed the menu, we were presented with welcome drinks in a fancy smoky container. I don't recall the name of the drink, but it had a lychee flavor with a sugar rim and it was good! Drinks are extremely pricey which is to be expected in Vegas. It's also on par based on where the speakeasy is located (hint hint). The cheapest cocktail was $30 so prepare yourself for the sticker shock. Some drinks were $80-$100! Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. I went with the Velvet Moon which was an interesting cocktail consisting of both gin and mezcal. It had flavors of hibiscus and it also had egg white which I absolutely love! The presentation was beautiful and I really enjoyed it! My friend went with the Basilico Bliss which he enjoyed. I didn't try any, but it looked really good. As we were enjoying our drinks, the staff presented us with savory bar snacks. They were tasty and were a perfect compliment to our cocktails. They do have food on the menu, but we had already eaten so we stuck with our complimentary snacks. As we were closing out, the staff presented us with a complimentary mini dessert. Rory described it as a Carajillo Jello shot. I don't like jello (I hate the texture), but I do love Carajillos. My friend does not drink coffee and does not like coffee flavor, so I ate both of them. They were so delicious (but the texture was off putting lol). I typically don't mention the restrooms in my reviews, but this one is worth mentioning. All I have to say is heated seats with a bidet! We really enjoyed our visit. Had the drinks not been so pricey, we probably would have stayed longer. If you enjoy speakeasies and/or craft cocktails, go have a drink at The Vault! The experience alone is worth it!
