Speaking of Speakeasies...
...we are in the Roaring Twenties (again) after all!
There were two more speakeasies we visited in Las Vegas that give you a bit more of the 1920's Prohibition experience. The Mob Museum has one in it's basement called "The Underground". The server brings your drinks in faux books for your "book club meeting". The other speakeasy, "1923 Prohibition Bar" is in a mall called "The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay" and the door to enter is a bookcase. Dress warmly in this beautiful bar because it's attached to an ice bar so it gets quite chilly. 1923 also offers "Ghost Stories" and "New Orleans Nights".
This was our second trip to 1923 Prohibition Bar, and of the three linked here, we would be hard-pressed to choose a favorite. It's all about the experience of what it was like in Sin City during Prohibition.
On May 1st, I attended a virtual Travel Advisor training on Las Vegas and was excited to see two speakeasies because we had a trip planned to Vegas at the end of May. When we saw
Kenny Chesney at the Sphere, we were not far from the speakeasy in Resorts World, but it was closed when we arrived there.
The other speakeasy mentioned, "The Barbershop" was at the Cosmopolitan so we planned ahead to go there on a different evening. Upon arrival, we learned you can make reservations and that you have to pay a (rather hefty) fee if you wish to sit anywhere but at the bar.

Of course the barstools were full, so we had drinks standing near the bar and chatted with a really nice couple; but with not being able to sit and socialize, we left. The nice couple told us of another speakeasy in the Cosmopolitan called "Beauty and Essex". The front looks to be a store that sells guitars and jewelry. Enter through a quasi-camouflaged door on the far left inside. No fee to sit either! Granted, since this isn't prohibition, the speakeasies in casinos are prominently labeled so tourists can find them.
