Having hunted up and down the strip for a fine Mai Tai, I recommend...

The Bar at Olives at the Bellagio. Joey V will fix you a fine Mai Tai.

A fruity, but passable Mai Tai can be found at the Cheeseburger joint (not in paradise mind you, they'll hit you with a lawsuit) in the Desert Passages.

Good cocktails can also be had at the Times Square bar at the New York New York. I didn't have a Mai Tai, but I did have a fantastic Manhattan. Go early, later in the day it turns into an unbearable piano bar.

Do NOT get a mixed drink at Kahunaville.
Do NOT get the Mai Tai at the Ghost Bar.

That's the best from my hunting so far, but I plan to be back soon. If you do go Mai Tai Hunting in Vegas be prepared to be served truly absurd cocktails. Some are actually not bad. Some we believe actually had NO booze in them (which is how the get away with the bottomless Mai Tai promotion).

Enjoy!
