    Champagne
    Melody C.

    Very classy! My friends and I had champagne vouchers from our stay in the Venetian so we stopped by Sala 118. This was around 1:30 pm on a Sunday. At this time, there were only a few other guests there and one bartender. We were quickly served our champagne in a very classy flute. I have no idea what bottle was used by default for the vouchers but it was very nice! It was dry and perfectly crisp despite probably being on the cheaper end of bottles. The bar is stunning. It is a modern take on 1920s decor and style. Sitting at the bar feels luxurious. If you want a more casual vibe, you can sit in the lounge area that is equally as pretty. The music is very lowkey and calming. It doesn't feel like you are sitting in the hotel lobby at all. I would definitely stop by again!

    Complimentary Champagne at check in

    When we checked in at the Venetian they offered us 2 complimentary glasses of Champagne at Sala 118. It was a smart move on their end, we kept on ordering drinks. It's a beautiful bar, themed in Art Deco glowing arches and decor. We went back to this bar a few times in the evenings to end our nights.

    Drinks!

    Sala 118 has a captivating appearance for a lobby bar, but I've had better service and drinks at the smaller hotel lobby bars than here. My friend and I came in at a very slow moment. There were only two other tables occupied with two people at one and three at the other. We found a seat and initially things seemed great. The waitress came by, took our drink order, and a couple minutes later our drinks came out. Very quick. We sit, sip, and chat and I can't get comfortable. The seat is too deep so my legs hurt, I can't get enough back support, and no matter which way I position I can't find a good position. I feel a bit of annoyance over the drink because it's mostly ice and vanishes fast. We continue chatting and I'm realizing it has been a long time since seeing our waitress. I became more keenly aware when the three top started looking around for her. After 20 minutes more I'm done being patient so I go to the bar and ask to close. The bartender informs me he'll send over the waitress. It takes another 15 minutes before she shows up. I don't know why the bartenders couldn't have just closed the tab. So, while cute, I won't return.

    We stayed at the Venetian and decided to drop in for a quick drink, the bar is esthetically pleasing with beatiful sleek decor. The vibe is lively and servers were warm, welcoming, and attentive. Our cocktails were well crafted, delicious, and made to perfection. We had a great time and will definitely stop in again when in the area!!

    Great place to grab a few drinks. Since it's a celebration I got Limonata and Margarita. Both drinks was delicious and strong. Our alchemist gave us a sample of their tequila Negroni which was tasty and smooth. Great service and live musician Friday and Saturday night. Nice and chill ambiance and vibe. Very much 1920s style Art Decor. Definitely come back again soon.

    Great drinks. If you're anfan of gin, they have a good selection of gin based cocktails. Service was great and the seating is spacious. Will definitely be returning.

    Best kept secret in Las Vegas!!! I wanted to gate keep but since I want this place to stick around maybe more people will find out about them and support them The lobby bar in the Venetian Hotel LV is a beautiful fancy bar - obviously they have all choice of cocktails but the best one is the espresso martini where they can customize a photo of your choice and adding it to your drink Now I've seen coffee latte art but never with an alcoholic drink so I was blown away !! There is a $10 up charge for the art factor and since we are talking Vegas the cocktail itself is spendy but totally worth it as it tastes amazing too Service was great too as we were sitting at the bar chatting to the bartender

    This is the most gorgeous lobby bar I've ever seen. It's tucked in a little bit, so I'd never truly noticed it before. When I checked in, they gave me a voucher for 2 free glasses of champagne at Sala since I was celebrating my birthday at the Venetian. The champagne was so good! The staff is dressed so elegantly, and the entire place feels very upscale without being stuffy. I will absolutely come back on my next visit to try more of their drinks and spend more time here. Definitely check the schedule for when they have live music!

    Soooooo worth it!

    I'm only here for my one of a kind expresso martini! Great spot to chill and enjoy some live music!

    Nice ambience with good drinks! Bartender was friendly and with good recommendations.

    This is the lobby bar in The Venetian, Las Vegas. It is the only non-smoking bar at this resort. I stopped by one evening while my adult daughter was at The Backstreet Boys concert to enjoy a glass of prosecco and catch up on my emails/texts. This is a very large bar, empty and quiet at 7pm. It is indeed lovely. My server, Sharra was excellent. Friendly, attentive and turns out her mom and I am the same age. When you can make a connection with staff while traveling, it makes for a wonderful experience. Sharra was delightful.

    Ann S.

    The bar just off the main entry for the Venetian. It is very comfortable and even a touch chic. Great cocktails and people watching. There is live music at times, too.

They had a limited selection of non-alcoholic drinks and upon asking if I could get one of their featured drinks in a NA version, the bartender seemed like he was being put out by the request. He made it, but the drink I got didn't really have any of the flavors described. If you are waiting for a tee time at Twilight Zone mini golf maybe you could stop in, though honestly I would probably just go to the bar down the hall by the food court.

We've have awesome experiences watching bartenders before AND we were determined to stay so we happily agreed. Paisley was a delight to chat with as we waited for only 10 minutes while seats opened up for us at the bar. I also got to check out the restroom, which boasts a high tech toilet with automated opening/flushing and a heated seat! We had the pleasure of meeting Michael our bartender and Yesi the bartender apprentice, and regulars Bill and Kim from Texas on one side of us, and Mario from California on the other as we spent the next hour and half savoring one luxury cocktail each and some complimentary snacks (seasoned pistachio nuts, cheesy crackers, and a little amazing bite that I can't remember the ingredients of). Welcome complimentary drinks: "Key to my heart" -- fun little rum drinks to start off with served in a spherical black case surrounded by dry ice! (See video). A bit sweet for my taste but tasty and just a little shot's worth (to be sipped). Cocktails: La Vie En Rose: (5/5) Rose infused gin, house made strawberry infused sweet vermouth, aperol, orange essence. Gorgeous spherical ice cube with a real flower frozen inside). Described as a summer Negroni. I chose it because I love Negronis and am always up for trying a variation on a classic like that. The Fountain (5/5): bourbon, Punt e mes vermouth (55 year old bottle!), orange essence. The Vault's take on the classic Manhattan. Michael gave us a taste of the punt e mes sweet vermouth and it was sublime. Both spectacular cocktails were definitely made for sipping and savoring. And to top it off! Little espresso shots at the end....mmm delectable dessert my bites to complete a flawless experience. We'll be back! Michael is a masterful mixologist and Yesi is an awesome apprentice!

The only hint I'll give is that it's located on the casino floor. When we walked in, we were greeted by the hostess. She asked us if we had reservations or were walking in. 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!
