20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Dining at Lost Spirits Distillery

Dinner at 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Lost Spirits Distillery was - to get to the point - absolutely, deliciously, bat shit wild. Which is gloriously fitting for a dining experience in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I first heard about Lost Spirits Distillery when they had their original location in Los Angeles. However, when that burned, they moved it to a more comprehensive experience in Las Vegas.

So, when Sonni suggested that I take a look at booking a table at 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and exploring the decadent experience that was the new, improved version of Los Spirits Distillery… I immediately checked to see if there was an opening during my weekend to see Silk Sonic in concert.

When I arrived at Area 15 and found the location of Lost Spirits Distillery, it was the exact vibe I expected it to be in. But, once I was given an explanation and let into the main area, all I could say was WOW.

The experience at the Distillery was one of performance. It reminded me of Duane Park in New York. I loved going into different rooms, trying different tastings of liquors and enjoying the dancing and additional entertainment.

Even if you just go for the tastings and meanderings around the event space along – it’s worth it.

To put it bluntly, dinner was fucking wild. For pre dinner cocktails and to set the mood, I was led into a room reminiscent of being on a ship. The chandeliers lightly swayed as I sipped my libation, slightly nervous for what’s to come.

At the appointed time, I was led with 11 other dinners to a beautiful, ornate room with a long shared table.
