The genius of a speakeasy is that it’s hidden in plain sight. Whether entry to the clandestine lair of libations is through a fake phone booth or faux keg wall, there’s always a trick to gaining access. And much like a speakeasy, passage into Delmonico Steakhouse’s secret inner sanctum also requires insider knowledge. But instead of a hidden door, access is gained through a single man—mixologist and beverage manager Max Solano.

Venetian’s Delmonico possesses the Strip’s most voluminous whiskey collection—at 650 bottles and counting—but it also has a lesser-known yet equally intriguing collection: a secret whiskey cocktail list curated by Solano and only available when he’s manning the bar. For now, this is as close as you’ll get to a speakeasy on the Strip.

The list is maintained in a blood-red binder plastered with the words “Classified,” “Top Secret” and “For Your Eyes Only,” though all you need to do is ask him for it. (I think Solano should consider inscribing it directly onto his forearms instead—sort of like Pam’s “The Destruction of Sennacherib” back tattoo on Archer.)

Solano prefers you see for yourself what’s on the list—he’s sworn us to secrecy about its exact offerings—but rest assured, it’s worth the trip. He painstakingly handcrafts each selection himself, so please visit when you (and he) have time to spare. And since we don’t want our membership revoked, don’t mention you heard about it from us.
