H Haole'akamai Member The Polynesian Port of NOLA Joined: Jul 07, 2005 Posts: 2276	H Haole'akamai Posted posted on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 9:33 AM From VEGASinsight.com:* If there’s any one person who knows how to turn dirt into gold, it’s P. Moss, owner of the Double Down Saloon. He made his “Happiest Place on Earth” – really, the diviest of Las Vegas dive bars – into an internationally renowned punk rock icon, so much that it warranted a second location opening in New York City’s Bowery just a few years back. So it stands to reason that when Moss re-opens the former Frankie’s Bar & Cocktail Lounge (1712 W. Charleston Blvd.) on Dec. 4 as Frankie’s Tiki Room, we’ll no doubt be in the presence of another truly legendary Vegas watering hole. The bar proprietor’s latest acquisition will be getting a full overhaul, according to Moss pal and local editor and writer James Reza. “Moss assures me that this is no half-assed superficial remodel,” Reza writes on his blog. “This is the first serious tiki bar in Vegas since Taboo Cove at the Venetian closed. These design cats have connections to the Stardust’s Aku Aku and Disneyland’s Tiki Room.” Stay tuned for more information as the opening date gets closer; until then, bookmark the Frankie’s Tiki Room website, still under construction.

Howlie Posted posted on Thu, Oct 30, 2008 11:50 PM If people are looking to crash in a house - it looks like we have a very minimally furnished "psuedo tiki" house available for rent that week... in fact we were thinking of working with da owners to turn it into a full time vacation rental - and kinda make it like the Tiki Central clubhouse of Las Vegas? There are 2 Leroy Schmalz tikis, another unnamed tiki + a couple of Cherry Capri tiki paintings and a host of tiki mugs (so you don't have to travel with mugs...), fork and spoons, etc... it's only a mile and a half or so from the strip and the peppermill and 4 miles or about 10 mins to the new tiki bar. would anyone be interested in that?

( when you add security..lines..etc.) Gas is $1.68 in Lakeside, near San Diego, and $1.78 down the street from my place. Definitely getting to the point where it'll even be worth the drive when you factor in time and wear & tear on your car. Ben, the place down the street from you is an ARCO station, right?

I won't be able to come up there to support you guys on Thursday after all. My boss first told me I could take Thurs - Fri. off to do this, now he tells me that I "have" to work late up in LA, and do some pick up shots for some B-roll that we are doing. By the time we finish shooting and edit, it will be too late to drive out. He said I could take Friday off?? I'm like, what the f**k good does that do me?? I'll make it to Frankie's this month, or next, but it won't be this Thursday.... Have fun! Buzzy drink one of those hairy lady drinks for me brother.
TL Tiki Lee's Tiki Socialite Las Vegas Joined: Aug 23, 2003 Posts: 798	TL Tiki Lee's Posted posted on Tue, Dec 2, 2008 11:53 PM Aloha Friend's! The Grand Opening of Frankie's was great, and the place is hands-down the BEST tiki bar EVER! Best thing about it is all my Tiki Artist Buddies are represented there, as it should be. Naturally, the main focal point of the whole place is the most Off-Da-Hook tiki that C'All has Ever carved... Al & I are Two-Sheets to the wind in this photo that my loverly Wifie took, and you can tell we all had a BLAST! It will be quite an honor to become the alchoholic I've always wanted to be in this fine establishment! [ Edited by: Tiki Lee's 2008-12-03 00:12 ]
