Having weekend brunch at Chica inside The Venetian feels like eating eggs in a nightclub. Guests in the low-lit bar area dip fried empanadas in guajillo consomme and dig into baskets of pillowy arepas, while a DJ basks in the glow of purple and blue stage lights.

What is it? A hidden gem of a bar in the basement arcade of the Horseshoe. Why we love it: The Cabinet of Curiosities is one of the most intriguing, under-the-radar bars on the Strip. Itâ€™s a museum of sorts with odd objects displayed next to their ultra-strange stories. The bar prides itself on its craft cocktails and even offers a mixology masterclass. The Cabinet is connected to the Lock Speakeasy, a joint you have to actually crawl into. Ask your bartender for details.
