Kinda slim pickins. The Atrium Bar at the mirage has a nice "should have been Tiki" ambience. It was a Reggae bar for a while! Worth strolling through the trees and water. Tut's Hut at Luxor is too pitiful to bother with a visit, but they make OK Volcano Drinks. Kahuna's (I think it's called that) at Treasure Island is "Jimmy Buffet style "Tiki"", and is only a stroll across the bridge from Venus. I would say on the Tiki Scale, it would rank as "Desperate and it's closing time" in terms of desirability. Hamata on Flamingo Road is Japanese, but has a little (little) Tiki ambience. The Plantation Hawaiian resturaunt on Eastern Blvd. is NOT Tiki. Tiki here must be stolen in small battles: Cleopatra's Barge at Ceasar's Palace is a floating bar. Rum Jungle at Mandalay Bay has about 60 kinds of rum, and they know how to make a Mojito. They serve conch and plantains, too. The pool areas at Hard Rock and Mandalay Bay have lotsa palm trees and beach areas. Sorry, that's about all that pops into my brain right now. |
