    Watermelon margarita

    Very cool atmosphere and very nice staff. Super busy even on a Wednesday- we were lucky we got a spot. Very smoky flavored drinks. Which is super cool if you like that but I am not a huge smoked drink person. Very cool presentation though.

    While walking through the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, we decided to pop in to the Ghost Donkey Speakeasy. My daughter knew where it was located and it was fairly easy to find. We walked in and it was very crowded. It's a very small place that holds maybe 30 people and it was loud and crowded. We ended up leaving because there was no place to sit and we didn't feel like standing in the middle of a crown to drink our drinks. I'm guessing there are times when it's not near as crowded but if you're looking for a quiet laid-back place to talk, I don't think this is it! We very seldom check out a place without at least getting a drink or something to eat, but with the line at the bar and the claustrophobic feeling, we were out of there!

    Bartenders were so great and friendly. Explaining what the drinks are and even giving us little samples. We tried a marg sample and it was SO good! The best drink we tried but all the drinks were beautiful and creative. The speakeasy is hidden and small. Its dark atmosphere and fun ceiling lights really make it fun. It was pretty crowded for the small space. They almost need a door man to regular how many people go in at a time.

    "Hidden" away in the Cosmopolitan, Ghost Donkey is not the typical seating only speakeasy environment I've seen elsewhere. However, it leans into the speakeasy vibes and is a fun place to chill for a fancy cocktail. Prices are in line with the rest of Vegas, however, the quality of the drinks are far better. As such, you get a better value and overall experience imo! You'll need to keep an eye out of the Donkey on the exit door in the 2nd floor food court to find it. Once inside, grab whatever spot you can or stand to order. Enjoy!

    Ghost Donkey is one of several speakeasies inside The Cosmopolitan. The entrance is hidden in the food court with the only markings being a picture of a donkey on an exit door. It is definitely a small space with about ten seats at the bar. There are also two small lounge areas in each corner of the space with padded bench seating that can squeeze in another 10 to 12 people in each spot. We arrived around 8pm on a Wednesday night, and there was only one seat available at the bar. Luckily, two people next to the open spot left about five minutes later, so we were both able to sit at the bar. The atmosphere is fun and lively with interesting décor. It is a tequila/mezcal focused bar with most of the cocktails containing at least one of those two spirits. Many of the drinks do have other spirits mixed in as well. They have a huge list of tequila and mezcal if straight pours are your fancy. We sat next to a friendly couple who live locally. He is a huge tequila lover, and said they come here often because they have the best selection and by far the best prices for straight pours anywhere in the area. I had the Frida & The Watermelon Sour (Vago Espadin, Manzanilla Sherry, Batiste Silver Agricole Rhum, Organic Agave, Lime, Watermelon, Watermelon Foam, Tajin, $20). This was a great balanced cocktail with the perfect amount of smokiness from the mezcal. It had a nice light watermelon flavor with some complexity and subtle booziness from the three liquors. The watermelon foam was a fun topping, and the tajin sprinkle on the foam added a flavor kick to it. She had the Burro Tropical (Volcan Blanco Tequila, Banks 5-Island Rum, Passion Fruit, Lemon, Fever Tree Ginger Beer, Club Soda, $20). It was passion fruit forward, but still pretty balanced. The soda bubbles and ginger beer definitely made it an interesting cocktail (in a good way). It also comes with a cool donkey souvenir on top to take home. Our bartender made a Lavender Vida Loca cocktail for the couple next to us, and there was some left over that he let us sample. It was really good with a beautiful color. We had one more bar to visit after this, so we only had one round, but I would definitely order that next time. I didn't catch our bartender's name, but he's the guy with the big beard. He was very fun and friendly, even though his shift was ending in five minutes. They also have a good menu of food munchies including various types of nachos and tacos, chips and guacamole, queso fundido, oysters, and churros. We visited right after dinner so we passed on food. The cocktails were great and only $20 each. We visited other bars on this trip that charged $25 or more for drinks that weren't nearly as good. We will definitely visit again on our next trip.

    Ghost Donkey is a hidden speakeasy located inside The Cosmopolitan. Tucked away behind a subtle door in the food hall, it's easy to miss, but that's part of the appeal. Inside, the vibe is fun and intimate with colorful lights, mirrors, and a high-energy feel. The drinks are the highlight, which are strong and well-crafted. The truffle nachos are also a must if you want something to share. It's definitely a small space, so it can get crowded quickly and finding it the first time can be a bit of an adventure. But overall, it's a unique, lively spot that's perfect for a pregame or a couple of drinks before heading out.

    I had no idea that the Cosmopolitan had so many speakeasies all these years, but when I found out, I was determined to check at least one out, and Ghost Donkey ended up being my first! The speakeasy itself is tucked away in the food court area and the entrance is a door with a donkey on it with an exit sign above it. If you're not looking for it and don't know about it, you'll definitely miss it because I have unknowingly passed by it before. The place itself is tiny and it may be hard to find a place to sit or stand but is so decorated and festive. It's definitely a vibe when you enter and it was wild to me how the ambiance immediately shifted when you opened the door. It is a Mexican themed bar so there's a variety of Mexican themed drinks and bar food. I didn't have anything here, but I was told by others there that the drinks are strong! I saw they had truffle nachos on the menu and it's something I'd definitely want to try there in the future. Overall, this is a super cool place and I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

    This is a super fun spot, and I plan to return when I am back in town. We were a group of five that ended up in the corner of the upholstered seating. The atmosphere and lighting was enjoyable; loud, but we could still have a conversation. The drinks were hit and miss. We felt that both of the watermelon sours (Gasoer Yanga and Frida Kahlo) were too sweet. The old fashioned (Don Pedro) and tamarind negroni (Zapata) were probably the favorites. Thanks to Alicia for ensuring that we were taken care of, throughout. It was definitely some of the better service received at the Cosmopolitan.

    We had to look up directions just to find Ghost Donkey, as it's tucked away in the back of the Cosmopolitan's food court. Without prior knowledge, it would have been very difficult to locate. While the donkey image on the door is noticeable once you're close, many people dining in the food court seemed confused about why a line was forming outside what looked like a random door. We arrived right at the posted opening time, but the venue didn't actually open until about 20 minutes later. When it finally did, we were told there was only one staff member working. By that point, there were already around 10 people waiting in line. We were also informed that there would be no table service and that all orders had to be placed directly at the bar. The interior of the speakeasy is extremely small, which made the situation feel even more cramped and inefficient given the staffing issue. With only one person handling everything and no table service, it felt like ordering drinks would take a significant amount of time. Because of this, we decided to leave before placing an order. Overall, while the concept seems interesting, the lack of clear signage, delayed opening, minimal staffing, and very limited space made for a frustrating experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth the wait during our visit.

    Took us a while to find the door, but we saw some people lining up/coming out which was helpful. There was only standing room for us and nothing on the drink menu was standing out to us (it was mostly tequila drinks). The bar itself is super cute with the ceiling lights and decor.

    I found this place, a few years ago, but never had a chance to grab a drink due to it being a bit packed. During this visit to Vegas, we were able to make it in and get a place to stand and have a drink. It was all about the experience in visiting a speakeasy. It all begins on the second floor eateries. There, you will see a small exit door with a donkey on it. Once there, push open the door to enter this hidden speakeasy. I love their simple decor and semi dark atmosphere. This being a speakeasy, it's mostly liquor based drinks but they have some other options too. Simple bar bites are also available. Most people went in for a few drinks and departed. It was a nice experience.

    Always visit here when in town! Beyond worth it! Located in Cosmo, this is a speakeasy that odds ticked away in the back of the food court. Look for the door with the donkey. Very small and intimate space. Gets very crowded. You will understand once you go. Staff is super nice. Server was lovely and so very accommodating. The bar tenders know how to make a terrific drink. They have a wide variety of drinks! Lots to pick from. Went with margaritas- one regular and one mango. Garnishes are on point. They do have snacks to order. Do not leave without trying the black bean steak nachos. Seriously. Absolutely amazing. Don't miss out on this! Go!!!

    A "hidden" speakeasy in the Cosmopolitan found right near the donkey statue! Super fun spot with cool lighting and a lounge area. A full food menu with great drinks.

    Truffle nachos. Excellent.

We were seated at the bar and had a nice time interacting with the cocktail craftsman/man in charge, Davey. The menu is his creative brainchild and changes a few times a year, with the current one based on the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There's a 90 minute limit and 2 drink minimum per guest. Because of the craft and attention to detail that goes into each cocktail, we finished our 2 drinks just about right at the 90 minute mark. I really enjoyed both of my cocktails but the one that stood out to me the most was Strange Medicine. It was reminiscent of a martini but with Brie-washed Old Bison vodka, Cocchi Americano, and herb oil. It was so good that I wasn't sure what drink to choose next, but Davey was helpful with a great recommendation for another cocktail served with a chunk of parmesan cheese on top. Keep in mind that you're paying for the experience and the level of craft. So with a 2 drink minimum it won't be a cheap experience but it's definitely something worth checking out for the unique, creative cocktails.

    Pro: Fear and Loathing menu, updated furniture, yummy drinks…read more Con: Not the previous Laundry Room you remembered, glorified tourist trap, lack of atmosphere control. Slow drink service. The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

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!

    This place is a lot of fun and bursting with history. We didn't do the tour but The Underground…read morespeakeasy was on my hit list for a while now and it was time to check it out. We took a bit too long to find the hidden entrance and had to ask the staff for help but it is still pretty cool to discover the entry. We used the password at the sliding opening at the door and were admitted into the dark windowless bar. The staff and bartenders were pretty cool and played the part of a prohibition era speakeasy very well. I had the Underground Old Fashioned and it was served hidden inside a book! Very cool. We really enjoyed walking around the bar and reading the history of speakeasies and seeing some framed props, etc. This place is part bar and part history museum and all fun. A great place to hang out and hide! Definitely recommend going here.

We have both been to Las Vegas many times, and we hadn't ever visited the Mob Museum. So we decided to visit this time. We enjoyed the experience overall and would certainly recommend it to others. When we arrived, we paid for parking and went inside to pay for the Mob Museum experience. We started on the third floor reading all of the exhibits and worked our way down to the second and then first floor before finally making it to the basement. The basement is where The Underground is along with the Speakeasy and the Distillery. In fact, it is considered an immersive Prohibition history exhibit space featuring a distillery, speakeasy and private VIP room located in the basement of The Mob Museum. Surrounded by artifacts from the 1920s, you can experience Prohibition-era craft cocktails in their speakeasy and visit the on-site distillery for a taste of the past. Speakeasies operate in hidden places offering what has been considered to be forbidden spirits. The speakeasy in the Underground offers exhibits, videos, and artifacts that is built around a well-stocked bar with a hand-crafted cocktail menu. They also offer weekly live music and a lively environment. By going to the website (https://themobmuseum.org/underground), you can find the password for the speakeasy. This week, it is "Razzle Dazzle". The website (https://themobmuseum.org/exhibit/the-speakeasy) displays the menu, promotions, and live entertainment. There is also the Distillery. This exhibit tells the stories of bootleggers, rumrunners and the government agents who tried to take them down. The centerpiece is a working still producing moonshine so you, too, can have a taste of this formerly forbidden engine of American commerce. The general admission cost is to the Mob Museum is $34.95 per person to access exhibits without a discount. For an extra $15, you get access to exhibits and one interactive exhibit, which can include the Distillery moonshine tasting. For $5 more than that, you get access to exhibits and two interactive exhibits. There are discounts available to Nevada residents, students, law enforcement and military. You can also get tickets before 11 AM or after 5 PM to receive $7 off admission plus 20% off coupons on the internet. The Underground speakeasy and distillery is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 AM to 11 PM and Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to Midnight. Definitely check out the Mob Museum at some point while you're in Las Vegas! Worth a visit!

They also bring out complimentary snacks and dessert jellies, and everything is served with incredible attention to detail. It's a small space, so I'd recommend making a reservation. If you're looking to treat yourself to a unique cocktail experience in Las Vegas, I would definitely recommend The Vault.

For our first visit, we made a reservation online ahead of time. When we checked in, we were asked to show our confirmation email.

It feels intimate, moody, and completely different from your typical Vegas bar. The atmosphere is definitely what makes this spot stand out. It has that hidden, exclusive speakeasy feel, and it's a fun place to bring someone who has never been before. The cocktails are creative and the whole experience feels unique, especially for a night out without having to go to the Strip. My only complaint is that the space is pretty small, so it can get crowded very quickly. When it's busy, it can feel a little cramped, so I definitely prefer going when it's not quite as packed. Overall, Wax Rabbit is a really fun spot at Durango and somewhere I've enjoyed coming back to. If you love speakeasies, craft cocktails, and a moody atmosphere, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

    Our visit here was part of a Craft Cocktail VIP Food & Drink tour at The Resorts Casino…read more.. Unexpected but fantastic experience... so fun that I returned during this trip as the vibe and cocktails were on point. The store front display was a complete shocker and surprise as we didn't see this one coming at all. Hello Kitty Kitty... that's all I have to say. Once we got in, the decor alone was awesome. I felt like I was transported back to my days in China, Malaysia, and Singapore. The DJ was spinning some great hits and when we started a conversation, I realized she was doing all on 45's records (for all you young folks, go do your research!!!). DOPE!!! Reposado As far as the cocktails we had there signature "One Night Stand" Margarita with my ultimate favorite, Reposado Tequila. One of the guest on the tour wasn't a big tequila drinker (she had some good stories as to why, we all do) so she was like, "here you go friend"... And for those that didn't show up on the tour... "here you go friend again"... And you best believe that I actually came back the next evening in the mist of a busy day just to have that margarita and it hit just like the first few times. I got to chill more and soak it all in... What a great vibe! The staff was welcoming, cool and friendly. They treated us like true VIP's. I look forward to coming back. Just make sure you wave to the kitty and rub the kitty's belly before entering.

Usually during hours of operation there's a hostess standing at the register (of the shop where they do sell real toys and trinkets. There was as 35 min wait when we approached, so we went to go eat a slice of pizza and they texted us pretty timely after that. I got the "pass the coconuts" and "safe in the city", and we had 2 other drinks (a sake and another cocktail that I can't remember). Total cost was about $139. We went on a Friday so there was a DJ playing music (mostly remixes of late 2000s stuff like Chris Brown's "Yo") Pros: - REALLY cool ambiance inside, mostly dark, but really cool East Asian decor with lots of red - not crowded, it seems like they purposely regulate the capacity so it's not overrun with people and everyone can have a seat - The cocktails were really delicious!! - Definitely felt like a speakeasy, I was shocked that we couldn't hear the music from outside of the entrance - Very cool bookshelf entrance - Really beautiful presentation of the cocktails - Definitely probably the most unique and coolest speakeasy on the strip Cons: - The music was EXTRA loud - you could feel it physically pulsing when you sat on the couch - which I typically don't mind, but we really did have to shout at each other even though we were sitting right next to each other. So this was more of a sit back and just enjoy the music kind of night - Definitely on the pricier side, but you're really paying for the experience. Overall, I think I would definitely be back, but perhaps come on the earlier side so we can spend more time here since they close on the earlier side at 1am.

I opted for a comfier lounge chair next to the bar and checked out the menu on the table. When I was ready to order, I went up to the bar. Which, if you've been to bars in general, they happily take your order and you wait and bring the drinks back to your seat. Well not at Vesper. Went up ready to order and the bartender asked where we were seated and said a waitress would come by and that we couldn't order with him. We sat, we waited 15-20 mins and no one came around.

Being a fan of R&B music, it just set the mood for me in a very pleasant, relaxed way. I loved seeing the vinyls of various artists on their bookshelf and placed on the bar top as well.

From the moment they greet you, to crafting the cocktails, and just the vibe all around, I enjoyed it. Check out their IG/TikTok pages for any upcoming events and to be advised of their daily passwords for certain event nights. Highly recommend.
