The 10 Best Speakeasies in Las Vegas: Luna's 2026 Hidden Bar Guide

The Laundry Room is the Las Vegas speakeasy that cocktail people mention first, and it's the hardest one on this list to get into. It's tucked inside Commonwealth, the two-story bar at 525 Fremont Street, and its own site describes it as an internationally acclaimed speakeasy with "a very exclusive admission process." Only 16 guests are admitted at a time so the bartenders can tailor drinks to each person.

The room is tiny and the house rules are part of the charm: Las Vegas Review-Journal reporting lists no loud talking, no phone calls and no excessive PDA. In May 2026 Commonwealth unveiled a full redesign of the main floor, the rooftop and The Laundry Room, with a darker vintage cocktail-club look and a new Laundry Room menu called "Fear and Laundry."

Seating is closed Monday and Tuesday. On Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday, seatings run 5pm to 10pm; on Friday and Saturday, 5pm to 9pm. Book through The Laundry Room's reservation page well ahead, especially for a weekend. My pick for a special-occasion drink, a cocktail-nerd date or the night you want Vegas to feel small.

No Vegas speakeasy has a better backstory. The Underground sits in the basement of The Mob Museum downtown, inside a building with its own history, and it's built as a Prohibition-era bar with live jazz and a working distillery that makes the museum's own moonshine. The distillery side runs guided tastings during the day (ages 21 and over only).

The fun part is the way in. You can head downstairs from inside the museum with admission, or skip the exhibits and use the speakeasy's side entrance with the password, which changes weekly and is shared by the museum on its speakeasy page and social channels. On March 24, 2026 (National Cocktail Day) The Underground launched a new history-inspired menu, including The Garden Party (rhubarb and gin), Aunt Vivian and Preservation Punch (rye, the bar's peach moonshine and cinnamon), plus shareable plates like garlic knots and crab cakes.

The Underground is open Sunday to Thursday 11am to 11pm, and Friday and Saturday 11am to midnight, which makes it the easiest speakeasy on this list to fit into an afternoon. Pair it with the museum, then walk to Fremont Street.

By day, The Barbershop is a real working barbershop with haircuts and shaves. Walk to the back, through what looks like a janitor's door, and you're in a saloon with live music, a long bar and a big whiskey and bourbon selection. It's the most fun speakeasy on the Strip if you like a band with your cocktail, and it's an easy add-on before a night out at the resort.

According to the venue, the barbershop opens daily at 10am, while the saloon opens at 8pm Sunday through Wednesday and 6pm Thursday through Saturday, staying open until 2am at management's discretion. Live music runs at night. You can reserve a saloon table on its website or by phone, and there's a published dress code, so check it before you go. It's also a popular stop for bachelor groups, which is worth knowing if you're planning a Vegas bachelor party.

Ghost Donkey is hidden at the back of The Cosmopolitan's Block 16 food hall, behind a door marked with a donkey. Inside is a small, colorful bar devoted to tequila and mezcal, with a big agave list, margaritas, tasting flights for the undecided, and nachos that get almost as much attention as the drinks (Time Out highlights toppings like mole chicken, steak and black beans, and black truffle with chives).

It's small, so it fills quickly on weekends, and it's 21+. Time Out lists hours as Sunday to Thursday 4pm to midnight and Friday and Saturday 4pm to 2am. My pick for a fast, lively drink before a show or club at The Cosmopolitan, and for anyone who thinks they don't like mezcal yet.

The Lock turns getting in into a game. It sits on the lower level of Horseshoe Las Vegas, hidden inside The Cabinet of Curiosities Bar and Lounge, a Victorian-style room full of oddities. Once you find the clandestine entrance, a "Locksmith" helps you crack the codes to get in. The cocktails are designed to be a little unexpected, and there's a secret menu item for anyone who wants to test the bartenders.

The rules are clear on its official site: reservations have a 90-minute time limit and a two-drink minimum per guest. The main speakeasy seating takes groups of one to five; larger parties must book the private VIP room, which holds up to 11 guests and starts at $200 as a reservation fee at booking (also 90 minutes). Hours are listed as 4pm to midnight daily, subject to change. Great for a center-Strip date that feels like an escape room with cocktails.

Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den is hidden inside Resorts World's food hall, Famous Foods Street Eats. Look for the shelving unit at the back of the Fuhu stall: it moves, and behind it is a small, Far East-inspired lounge with Japanese whiskeys and creative house cocktails. Early coverage put the capacity at about 50 people, with sofas, a few bar seats and high-tops, so it suits dates and small groups best.

The bar changes its look with the seasons. In 2026 Las Vegas Magazine covered a cherry blossom celebration in spring and a tropical takeover that ran through August 30. Its signature move is Bartender's Choice: tell the bartender what you like, they build a drink around it, and you get to name it. Las Vegas Magazine also notes vinyl DJ nights on Fridays ("High Fidelity Fridays"). Combine it with a club night at Zouk in the same resort.

Caspian's is two bars in one. Up front is Caspian's Cocktails & Caviar, an elegant caviar and cocktail lounge. In the back is Caspian's Rock & Roe, a hidden rock club you reach by finding the door behind the sea captain's painting, picking up the phone and asking to be let in. Inside, rotating bands play and surprise guests have dropped in.

Las Vegas Magazine reported live music Tuesday through Saturday, with an acoustic opener around 8pm and rock headliners around 10:30pm, plus themed Thursdays (karaoke with a live band has been one of them). The best detail for your budget: there's never a cover. Reserved tables carry a fee and are yours all night, while seats near the stage and at the bar are first-come. My pick for a group that wants a real party without a nightclub line.

Ski Lodge is the Cosmopolitan's third hidden bar, an unmarked room at Superfrico (the restaurant tied to Spiegelworld's show Opium) that looks like a mountain cabin: a picture window, a fireplace, wood walls and a menu of cocktails overseen by Superfrico's beverage team, plus frico-crusted square pizzas and toasted s'mores. The Review-Journal notes its seasonal holiday theme and the famous Shotski.

The big advantage is access. Ski Lodge does not take reservations, it's open long hours (Friday to Sunday noon to 2am, Monday to Thursday 2pm to 2am, per Spiegelworld) and it's 21+. That makes it the easiest hidden bar to try on a whim, and a fun winter-holiday stop in December.

1923 Prohibition Bar sits in the Shoppes at Mandalay Place, the walkway between Mandalay Bay and Luxor, and it's the most relaxed speakeasy on this list: no password needed. The draw is bourbon and whiskey. Circa's 2026 speakeasy roundup highlights a long list that has included Pappy Van Winkle, specialty Old Fashioneds and a separate Estate Room for cigars.

On Friday and Saturday nights there's live New Orleans-style entertainment from 9pm to midnight, and magic shows run Friday through Sunday with limited tickets sold on its site. The bar is open Sunday to Thursday 11am to midnight and Friday and Saturday 11am to 2am, and everyone must be 21+ with photo ID. Seats can be reserved online. An easy pick if you're staying at the south end of the Strip.

Wax Rabbit is the best speakeasy off the Strip and the calmest on this list. It's hidden within the walls of Mijo Modern Mexican at Durango Casino & Resort, in an intimate room of about 1,000 square feet designed by Studio Munge. DJs spin vinyl, and the cocktails pair classic structures with Mexican spirits, especially tequila and mezcal.

It's open Tuesday through Thursday 6pm to midnight and Friday and Saturday 6pm to 2am (closed Sunday and Monday), and reservations go through Durango's Wax Rabbit page. It's a longer ride from the Strip, so it works best if you're staying in the southwest valley or at one of the off-Strip resorts, or if you want a grown-up drink without the Strip crowds.
