Dust off your Discman and dig out those BFF necklaces – or were you team bracelets? Las Vegas has a new portal straight back to the era of dial-up internet and boy band supremacy. Whether you lived through it and love a good throwback, or weren’t even born yet but always had a soft spot for the 90s, you gotta check out this speakeasy.
Saved by the ’90s – the coolest speakeasy in town
Hidden inside the Via Via Food Hall at The Venetian Resort, the speakeasy Close Company has temporarily transformed into “Saved by the ’90s.” Running through August, this limited-time pop-up fully embraces the tacky, glitter aesthetic of the millennial golden age. The space trades traditional speakeasy moodiness for pure nostalgia. Expect to see inflatable furniture, shimmering walls of CDs, neon art, Furbys (!!!), and slinkies all around.
What’s on the menu?
The cocktails are the real star here. Curated by The Venetian’s Director of Mixology, the menu leans hard into the brightly colored, neon drinks we all remember (from nights we may have forgotten). But instead of the syrupy sugar bombs of the past, the team has elevated these cheesy classics into actually delicious drinks.
Yes, they make an Appletini. They also make classics like Sex on the Beach and Blue Lagoon. Which one will you have first?!
