Find the door first, drink second
- A laundromat-fronted speakeasy — no password required, just persistence
- Chinatown: bars tucked behind restaurant kitchen doors; ask staff politely
- The Laundry Room (Downtown) — a barcode entry and a 29-seat room; reservations made by text
- Skyfall Lounge (Delano) — not hidden at all, but the Strip-view payoff is genuine
The cost
Cocktails run $16-24 — Strip-level drinks without the Strip theater. Most rooms enforce a two-hour table window on weekends; some take card details in advance.
Speakeasy etiquette
- Several bars ban interior photography — or photos of other guests
- Dress: "effortless smart"; parties of seven or more can be refused
- Reservations beat passwords — the password games largely ended years ago
For the full crawl, chain three of these into one downtown evening: two drinks each plus a late dessert lands near $150 per couple.
