How To Find The Ski Lodge at Cosmopolitan

Key Points:

The Ski Lodge is on the second floor near Superfrico and the Wicked Spoon Buffet.

The entrance is a nondescript door with a small bronze square with a skier emblazoned on it.

Once inside, I was transported to a snowy mountain retreat, great bartenders, and one heck of an old-fashioned.

Speakeasies are popping up all over Las Vegas, and with a trio of options (along with Ghost Donkey & The Barbershop), The Cosmopolitan is easily the “speakeasy capital” of the Strip.

Uniquely, The Ski Lodge is connected to the restaurant Superfrico, which specializes in “Italian American Psychedelic” fare, and is a product of the folks at Spiegelworld, also responsible for the popular shows “Absinthe”, “Disco Show”, and “Atomic Saloon”.

The Speigelworld brand of humor and entertainment is raunchy, crass, and amazing – The Ski Lodge is no exception.

From the casino floor, work your way toward the hotel lobby.

Once there, take the escalator up to the second floor of Cosmopolitan’s Chelsea Tower.

On the 2nd floor, walk down the hallway that leads toward the Wicked Spoon Buffet and Superfrico – You’ll see a pair of large purple doors at the end of the hall.

When you reach the end of the hall, locate the nondescript door with the skier pictured below on it. It’s to the left of the purple doors.

Once you identify the door, open it up and walk right in. There’s no password, secret dance, reservation needed, or protocol you need to adhere to.

In fact, they don’t even take reservations.

A Look Inside The Ski Lodge

This is the part I love about speakeasies in Vegas: Walking through that door instantly transports you to another world entirely.

As the name suggests, The Ski Lodge is made to feel like… a ski lodge…

The LED screens behind the bar, intended to mimic windows overlooking a snowy landscape, immediately catch your eye.

Behind the bar, the bartenders are dressed as if they work at a resort. My bartender, Jason, was rocking a neon shirt and even an unbuckled ski helmet.

The room is small, with seating available for about 20-30 people.

The decor around the room is exactly what you’d expect to find at an unpretentious ski resort bar.

There’s a fireplace that’s flanked by books and board games, stickers on the wall, a polar bear wearing ski goggles, and odd knick-knacks scattered about.

Here’s a look around:

The Ski Lodge Experience

Jason, my bartender, was fantastic. I showed up right when they opened at 5 pm, walked in, and was greeted with a boisterous “Are you ready to F*ck sh*t up?!”.

Obviously, the answer was yes.

I ordered an old-fashioned, which was spectacular, and enjoyed it over a conversation with Jason, who seemed genuinely interested in ensuring I was having a good time. The dude was wild.

I tabbed out after one drink, and it was just over $20 post-tip. More than I typically pay for a cocktail, but on par with what you’d expect to pay at a speakeasy.

The experience was well worth the cost in my opinion, and The Ski Lodge would make a great destination for a pre-dinner cocktail, or date night in Vegas.

Hopefully, my guide detailing how to find The Ski Lodge at Cosmopolitan was helpful! I was impressed with the experience, cocktail, and service.

The surroundings and decor hit the mark, and the speakeasy does a marvelous job of immediately “transporting” you to a different place as you walk through the door.

I know that speakeasies in Vegas are now numerous and a little cliche at this point, but there’s still something cool about waltzing into a bar that most casual visitors are oblivious to.
