the only Las Vegas TIKI BAR ....Frankie’s Tiki Room 24/7 baby! - General Tiki

I understand the good mayor was providing discounted liquor licenses to encourage business growth in that area. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea that Frankie's isn't being built in a casino shopping mall, but East Fremont would have been consistent with the retro theme of a tiki bar. It's already the location of two of the coolest (albiet very different) bars in LV - Atomic Liquors and Downtown Cocktail Room. It would also have been in convenient stumbling distance of the the best old school casino/hotel in LV - the El Cortez. East Fremont has the potential to be a great mid-century boutique area (like Palm Springs and South Beach on a smaller scale) with all of the existing motels from that era. Just asking. :) [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2008-12-01 13:31 ]
