Ski Lodge

The drinks are fantastic. This place has taken over the top spot for best Old Fashioned on the strip. That is the only thing that earned a 5 star review.The music doesn't fit the theme at all, at least not when we were there. It's also extremely small so it only fits maybe 30 people.

This was a fun experience... I had family come in from out of town and wanted to take them out for a Vegas-only unusual experience and ended up trying out Ski Lodge. It should be said, I have a ton of affection for hidden away speakeasies, that is, bars that are small and exclusive and are sort of "if you know, you know" word of mouth places that most people wouldn't be thinking about.In Vegas, there are many such places with hidden doors, or text only reservations (such as The Laundry Room downtown that has BOTH). As for the Ski Lodge, it's a nondescript purple door at the Cosmo (adjacent to Superfrico on the 2nd floor) with a tiny emblem of a skier giving the only clue that it exists. There is a single line (no advance reservations that I'm aware of) and when we arrived at roughly 9pm midweek, our party of 3 waited for roughly 30 minutes or so. Given the bar looks like it holds a few dozen people at most, I'd be scared to try this after dinner on a weekend or holiday but for our timing, the wait was fine and totally reasonable.Eventually, we were brought in for seats waiting for us at the bar (there are a number of tables as well in the lodge, and we were not disappointed by what we saw. I'm happy to report that it's exactly as promised... you are for all purposes temporarily transported out of Vegas into a lived in 80's (?) super cute wooden Ski lodge complete with giant windows looking out to snow falling, an occasional touch of chill air hitting you to remind you that you're in the mountains, servers with Ski gear and goggles (LOL), decades old portable TVs showing things like Star Wars on a tiny color screen, etc. while a great 80's playlist was our ambiance as we ordered drinks. They also had a few menu items such as pizza and a "Smores Kit" -- we already had dinner so we tried the Smores. They ended up bringing us graham cracker penguins alongside delicious chocolate pieces and three marshmallow skewers to cook in the canned flame that was in the middle of the tray (see my photo). It was delish but for what was almost $30, a bit small for my liking. Maybe give six marshmallows instead of three? Also, a quick note to mention that the drinks were tasty and I loved my old-fashioned. That said, this would be a 5 star review if not for the prices. Drinks were in the $25+ range and as I noted, the Smores were even a few dollars more. For 3 drinks and the Smores, we were over $100 and while that should probably be expected on the Vegas strip (which has largely become resort inflated pricing), it's still worth calling out. Point being, as long as you keep in mind that you are paying for the ability to enjoy a Disney like experience, don't be surprised when it comes with Disney like prices. If you're cool with that, it's definitely worth checking out for a fun change of pace. Recommended.

The three stars is only because my experience with the host. I was attempting to get into Superfrico. The host was very rude about trying to get a seat for 1 at the bar. She said no and there is no way waiting.I called my MGM host and she told me to ask about the wait for the lodge which is the same line! After waiting about 15 mins I got into the Ski Lodge, sat at the bar and had a great experience. Walking in is just like hitting some slopes in a mountain somewhere! The atmosphere was great, nice and chill with a great view of the snow slopes. I had a NISEKO OLD FASHIONED = legent bourbon suntory ao whisky spiced coconut.... This drink was absolutely amazing the coconut paired amazing with the bourbon.

I went here last year and had a great time sitting at the bar with a couple of friends. This year I went with a group of friends from all over on our first night in Vegas. First they weren't open until 9 p.m. on a Sunday which seemed weird but maybe they had a private party. So we stood in line at about 9:15 p.m. and waited probably 20-30 minutes to get in but we were a large party of 10. They sat us at this couch area. Because it was a work industry event and the first night as people were getting in, people were coming and going. But at no point did we ever have more than the table fit. However the bouncer gave us so much attitude every time someone new came. Excuse me but don't you want us buying drinks at your establishment. We were not rude and never had more than the table could fit so I don't know why we got so much attitude. After a couple of hours, the waitress came over and said to us "are you going to be leaving soon" to which I replied "soonish I think" (really hard to tell with a group of 10) and she said "ok because you guys are racking up a large bill" (again, is this not what you want for your establishment?!?!) so I replied, "sure give me the bill. I'll pay it and then figure out what everyone owes". She goes and gets the bill and brings it back and the total is a whole $250! Huge bill I see. I do not understand the attitude of the workers here. It was like they were put out because we chose to come here and spend money here. Maybe something the owner should look into.1 Star for Ambience 1 Star for Good Drinks-3 Stars for Employee's Horrible Attitude Most likely won't be back next year when we are in Vegas for work again

Excellent hidden bar at the Cosmopolitan that is all the talk! Created to look like ski lodge bar- it delivers on the hype decor drinks and all! Friendly staff - stuff and creative drinks. Only down side is cramped space and long line to get in any time of the day!

Just beyond the entrance of Superfrico, we barely recognized the adjacent door bearing a single skier icon. Once inside, it really feels like you're in a cozy ski lodge! Love the kitsch and dedication to the theme. SNOW WHITE: Very tropical-- if I was a heavier drinker, I wouldn't mind having two or three of these on the beach LOL. The tiny marshmallows are the texture of cereal marshmallows, crunchy and sweet.CRÈME DE FLUFF: Even the "fluff" is citrus flavored! The lightest and most refreshing mocktail I've had in a while. Orgeat adds a nutty, warm flavor that elevates everything to the next level. The servers wearing snowsuits is just so fun. Matched the winter holiday vibes. One of my new favorite speakeasy themes.FYI the restroom is located in Superfrico, through the Ski Lodge's back door and near the bar at the edge of the restaurant. Their sink is quite possibly the worst designed sink of all time??? The faucets jut only a few inches out from the base and simultaneously are only a few inches tall, but the sink basin is a shallow rectangle-- meaning, if you wash your hands, you're leaning over this large flat panel to insert your fingers into the tiniest little flow of water, while constantly angling your palms to avoid touching the sink wall or getting splashed by the dirty water just inches below. MEANING, there's essentially this 3" x 6" x 3" space that you can maneuver your hands in if you don't want to touch dirty water. And terrible water pressure. Like WHAT LOL. I have never been so baffled by a sink before.NOTE: My partner and I both had queasy stomachs after this bar though, so not sure which drink struck us down or what that says about their hygiene... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I enjoyed this Speakeasy. The server was very friendly and normally I don't like cocktails especially strong ones but the one I had was very good and tasty. We had to wait in line but because it was around 6pm on a Friday night, the wait was fairly shortly. Love the ski mountain and lodge decor.

It took a little while to get in, but that's to be expected on a Saturday night. My honest review is a 3.5 but rounded down because I didn't find the waitress overly friendly and she seemed like we were bothering her. I don't like feeling like that. The hostess was a bit flighty, but we eventually got in. The whole vibe is super cool! As stated previously, Waitress was fine, probably annoyed we only got three drinks between 6 people. The bill was to be expected in Vegas, $26 a drink. Espresso martini was delicious!! Great flavor. My friend for a White Russian and said it was enjoyable. My other friend got one of the specialty drinks and very much enjoyed it.We saw it once, probably won't go back.

I had such high hopes coming here but unfortunately my excitement was short lived. The best part of this "hidden" speakeasy was the music, decor, and cocktail waitress outfits. Other than that I can't really say anything else nice about this place. We had a group of 6 and everyone ordered craft cocktails except one of us ordered a bottle of beer and that took the longest. We waited an extra 15 or more minutes just to get the beer (meanwhile we all had our craft drinks). They won't allow split checks, which is fine and they automatically add a tip, which is absolutely ridiculous considering we had cocktails and a pizza. $52 tip for 6 cocktails, 4 shots and a pizza that was not deserved. She definitely gave the vibe of not caring about serving us since she knows she was getting her tip regardless of how great she served us, there was no effort whatsoever. I'm a Vegas local so to say this place is a disappointment is an understatement. I would recommend not wasting your time or money coming here. There are far more impressive places in Vegas to spend your money that the service backs up the experience.

Cool hidden spot... gd drinks Quick service... plenty of room at the bar as well as tables and booths. They also offer food...
