Rails - Devise, how can I disable some default routes?

I want to completely disable the routes /users/sign_in for get and post.

I was able to successfully override them using the following:

  devise_for :users do
      get "/admin" => "devise/sessions#new", :as => :new_user_session
      post "/admin" => "devise/sessions#create", :as => :user_session
  end

And when I run rake routes I see the following:

    new_user_session GET    /admin(.:format)                {:controller=>"devise/sessions", :action=>"new"}
    user_session     POST   /admin(.:format)                {:controller=>"devise/sessions", :action=>"create"}
    new_user_session GET    /users/sign_in(.:format)        {:action=>"new", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}
                     POST   /users/sign_in(.:format)        {:action=>"create", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}

I can access the sign in from /admin as well as from /users/sign_in. But I want to completely remove the last two rows, is it possible?

I tried some different combinations from the documentation which seems to do it but it also overrides some useful ones, like the password/new and password/edit routes.

Katz's solution no longer works as noted by Cirulli.

Try the following.

devise_for :users, :skip => [:sessions]

as :user do
    get "/admin" => "devise/sessions#new", :as => :new_user_session
    post "/admin" => "devise/sessions#create", :as => :user_session
end
