However, the cocktails by mixologist Eric Hobbie are the real star of the show, illustrated in detail on individual pages in a menu divided into three sections. The acts vary from night to night but tend to have throwback charm, with jazz and soul performers taking the spotlight. The stage is just large enough for a four-piece band, allowing performances to feel more like an intimate private party than a concert. Opposing floral designs on the floor and ceiling mirror each other like a reflection with subtle dark green tones and velvet accents.

The lights are kept low with an illuminated back bar keeping the focus on a carefully curated spirits selection. The lounge is a sophisticated space designed by Alessandro Munge of Toronto's Studio Munge.

Reservations are a good idea-Easy's seats just 42 people with a total capacity of 75. Just look for the velvet rope in front of the donut shop.

There's no special trick or password to get into Easy's. It's about quality cocktails and entertainment with great bands. 'What we created with Easy's was an intimate, cool cocktail lounge,' says Andy Masi, founder and CEO of Clique Hospitality, the operation behind Proper Eats. Easy's aims to be an alternative for those who appreciate Las Vegas nightlife but enjoy it even more without the crowds and chaos of Sin City's nightclub scene. As the name suggests, the stylish cabaret lounge is the latest speakeasy in Las Vegas, hidden behind Easy Donuts & Coffee at the Proper Eats Food Hall, which just opened in December. Easy's is now mixing craft cocktails with eye-catching presentations and live music at the Aria Resort & Casino.
