The Vault at Bellagio | Las Vegas Cocktail Bar
An unmarked door off the Bellagio casino floor opens on about thirty seats, 1930s cognac, 1960s Bacardi, and cocktails finished tableside over smoke.
The Vault opened inside Bellagio in 2023, behind an unmarked door near the table games and beside the casino cage — the space had been a casino host's office, which is where half the name comes from. Craig Schoettler, who had returned to MGM after a spell as vice president of beverage at Tao Group, spent months acquiring the vintage bottles that anchor the back bar. Entry runs through the venue's own reservation page or a direct message to the bar; walk-ins depend on what the night has left, and the dress code is enforced.
Behind an unmarked door off the Bellagio casino floor: about thirty seats in onyx and velvet, a back bar of 1930s Rémy Martin and 1960s Bahamas-bottled Bacardi, and a dress code the door actually enforces.
A reservation-led, roughly thirty-seat cocktail bar hidden behind an unmarked door inside Bellagio on the Las Vegas Strip, specialising in vintage spirits dated by importer tax stamp and tableside-finished cocktails such as Liberty's Torch. Open daily from 5pm with reservations via SevenRooms.

Common questions
How do you get in?
Book through the venue's own SevenRooms reservation page, or message the bar directly. The door is unmarked, near the table games off the Bellagio casino floor. Walk-ins are sometimes possible depending on availability, and the dress code is enforced.
How big is the room?
Around thirty guests is the comfortable capacity. Visits are built to run for hours rather than a single round.
What are the hours?
Doors at 5 p.m. every night. Monday through Thursday and Sunday it closes at midnight; Friday and Saturday it runs to 2 a.m.
What makes the back bar unusual?
Vintage bottles: twelve Bacardis from the 1960s, when the rum was bottled in the Bahamas; Rémy Martin cognac from the 1930s; Ricard vermouth from the 1960s. Because they carry no vintage date, the bar identifies them from the importer information on each tax stamp.
Is there food?
Bar snacks rather than dinner — an opening amuse in a Baccarat shot glass, olives stuffed with chorizo and goat cheese, spiced peanuts, croissant-cut fried potatoes with crème fraîche and caviar, and caviar with deviled eggs and toast points.
