Freaky Tiki

To satisfy your taste for rum and kitsch, grab your grass skirt and head to the newly opened Frankie’s Tiki Room. Located just a few blocks west of Las Vegas Boulevard, Frankie’s is the brainchild of Vegas’ infamous Double Down Saloon creator, P. Moss. Though Frankie’s was designed by Bamboo Ben, the world’s foremost tiki room designer, this bar offers more than just a slice of South Seas exotica — it also doles out some pretty potent grog. Not only can you imbibe Tiki classics like the mai tai, lapu lapu, pikake and the zombie, you can also knock back one of Frankie’s 15 original exotic cocktails. Try your luck with nips like the Bombora Blast (151-proof rum infused with a guava-based energy drink), the Bender Ender (a blend of rums, pineapple juice and papaya nectar) or the Bearded Clam (a tiki twist on the classic mojito). With a great jukebox and a “Vice Tester” machine in the corner of the dimly lit room, this 24-hour haunt proves it’s always tiki time in Vegas.
