Easy's Cocktail Lounge

Another day, another new speakeasy in Las Vegas. Easy's is a throwback cabaret lounge hidden behind a donut shop at the new Proper Eats Food Hall inside the Aria. There's a lot to love about the joint—the intimacy, old-school design, live music, and, of course, the cocktails. The drink menu is divided between classics, inventive recipes, and high-priced "Show Stoppers" with extravagant presentations. The Heart of the Ocean, for example, reflects a day at the beach with a display of seashells, sand, and a cloud of dry ice mixed with coconut oil to smell like suntan lotion. The combination of tequila and blueberry spirulina simulates an ocean wave, topped with the froth of egg-white foam and consumed from a hand-blown glass shell. Yes, you'll want to take photographs. Whether it's worth $75 may depend on your expense account, but most of the other cocktails cost between 20 and 30 bucks. Caviar is available too, but if you really get hungry, feel free to roam Proper Eats for pizza, burgers, sushi, and other grab-and-go bites.
How to book: Check in at the host stand at Easy's Donuts or request a reservation in advance online.
