Most people walk straight past it. Inside Famous Foods Street Eats at Resorts World, past the noodle stalls and the lunch crowds, one of the walls is a door.
Behind it sits Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den, a hidden speakeasy running two seasonal looks back to back. The first one is almost gone, so the order matters.
The Bar Is Behind the Food Hall Wall
Find it at Resorts World Las Vegas, 3000 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, tucked inside the Famous Foods Street Eats food hall. The lounge is hidden behind one of the stall walls, and it opens nightly at 5 p.m.
There is no password and no secret handshake. Tell a Famous Foods staffer you are there for the Vice Den and let them point you to the wall that moves.
The room is small, and small fills fast. Arrive close to 5 p.m. if you want a seat without a wait, especially on a weekend.
Last Call for the Marigolds: Through Sunday, Nov. 22
Right now the Den is dressed for Día de los Muertos. Marigolds, sugar skulls and butterflies have taken over the room, and the takeover runs through Sunday, Nov. 22.
Three specialty cocktails carry the theme, and each one leans on traditional Mexican flavors and imagery:
- Marigold Smoke: Don Julio Blanco tequila, Casamigos mezcal, agave, house grenadine and fresh lime.
- La Calavera: Rémy Martin VSOP Cognac, Cointreau, spiced pear, pineapple amaro, lime, orgeat, brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Until We Meet Again: Bulleit Bourbon, apple, allspice, maple, ginger and lemon.
Start with the Marigold Smoke if you like a drink with an edge. It is the smoky one, and it is the cocktail this room will be remembered for when the marigolds come down.
Then the Pine Forest Moves In
Miss the Nov. 22 deadline and the room does not go back to normal. Resorts World has already announced the next transformation: an enchanted winter pine forest for the holiday season.
The decor flips to rich emerald hues, towering pines, plush winter furs and gilded accents. Same hidden door, completely different room.
Six new cocktails come with it:
- Snow Sled: whiskey, allspice, brown sugar and cherry-vanilla bitters.
- Winter in Bridgetown: rum, coconut, Irish cream and cocoa.
- Waltz of the Flowers: gin, pear, elderflower and butterfly pea flower.
- Athens Holiday: Greek brandy, cognac, pomegranate and spiced maple.
- Ski Break: eau-de-vie, hazelnut, pear and spiced demerara.
- Holidays in the Garden: whiskey, sour apple, cranberry and maple.
Here is the play. Hit the food hall for dinner first, slip into the Den at 5 p.m. while the room is still quiet, and order the seasonal list before the weekend crowd finds the door.
So pick your version. Marigolds and mezcal smoke before Nov. 22, or pine trees and winter whiskey after, but either way, go find the wall.
