Frankie's Tiki Room, Las Vegas

[Adcurium]

Has anyone ever been? I found it on Yelp and plan on stopping by for a few drinks when I'm in Vegas next month...

I was there last August with a couple of my brothers. Kinda small and dark, but worth the trip. It's located between the main part of the Strip and downtown, on Charleston. Our taxi driver had never heard of the place, so you might want to familiarize yourself with the location.

Be sure to ask for one of their collectible tiki mugs. They advertise different mugs for different drinks, but we ended up getting the drinks in regular glasses and buying the mugs boxed up and ready for the trip home.

Thanks Lefty! I'll make it a point to stop there. Do you remember how much a cab ride was from the strip? I just want to be prepared in case it isn't $20, and is rather $100!

From what I recall, the taxi ride was less than $20. That was from the Hilton (recently re-named as the Las Vegas Hotel). Frankie's advertises that you get a free drink on Friday if you are wearing an aloha (Hawaiian) shirt. We were wearing vintage aloha shirts, but apparently that offer is only good until 8:00 p.m. or so.

You might check with your hotel. When I was condemned to be at trade shows in the 80's they'd send a bus or limo for free.

So did you make it to Frankie's Tiki Room? I was there on New Year's Day. Sorry I didn't see this thread until now.

Unfortunately I did NOT make it to Frankie's. It was one of those trips where I had some sort of meeting/presentation/obligation at the most inconvenient time. But I attend the same convention at the same time every year, so I'll make it a point to go next year (I'm fact, it is even on my calendar for next year).

Well they're a 24/7 operation. Keep that in mind. They can get crowded in the evening between 8 and midnight. There's not that many tables.
