Definitely a solid tiki bar, but their drink recipes could use some work. I was told I couldn't get a singapore sling because they were out of grenadine :-(

Great decorations, wall hangings and animatronics. Emphasis here is really on the look. The drinks are average, and over the years it seems the rum and cocktail selections have dropped, in favor of more common drinks. A good "starter" tiki bar to take a friend to, but if you prefer a good drink, head to Frankies.

I visited The Golden Tiki on a recent trip to Las Vegas and it was hands down the best tiki experience I have had. The decor and atmosphere were unbelievable--packed with kitsch and oddities that really immersed you in the experience. I could watch their seeming endless looping reel of retro trailers and clips until my eyes fell out. The drink selection was stellar. I was able to work my way through most of the menu and the Painkiller was my favorite. Luis was our bartender for all three visits and he was not only attentive to our drink needs but also extremely friendly and gave us a lot of good pointers for the city and other bars. I was kind of worried about what the atmosphere and crowd would be like, having seen their Facebook page, but we went early enough in the day that we only shared the bar with four other people at most, so it was a really laid back and relaxing experience. The Golden Tiki is a must visit for any tiki enthusiast making the trip to Sin City.

If your going to be in Las Veags and you love Tiki, you need to hit Frankie's Tiki Room AND The Golden Tiki! Both bars are awesome in their own way.

The Golden Tiki is like Disney's Trader Sam's but if was built in Sin City. I you will have a good time.

Here is my full review of The Golden Tiki...

It's like a tiki Disney land and even has a talking skeleton! The menu even includes a thorough "origin" history of the place. Rotating tiki mugs but only one signature anniversary so far. The decor is awesome. The vibe is awesome with rotating artists dropping in. The drinks? A work in progress, many of them taste similar and are very strong.

just went to The Golden Tiki again tonight. Place was packed. Met the owner Brad. He was a great guy, bought us a round of the best Mai Tais we've ever had. He was celebrating an award they just got from a local magazine. I originally gave this place a 9 but its customer service and unique atmosphere make this one of the most amazing tiki bars we've ever been to. It simply cant be beat! Come see for yourself

Not a Tiki crowd - they do order the drinks (75% ish) - first time here on a band night - crowd is definitely gathering. (Usually here happy hour where btw they have great pot stickers, egg rolls & wings on the house)

In town for BHOF with the Mrs. All I can say is holy cowabonga. I wish I could pitch a hut and live here forever. This is a tiki lovers paradise. Their drinks are all on point. I love Tiki Ti for drinks (atmosphere blows) and these drinks are just as good, and that is really hard for me to admit. The interior is fun, whimsical and fantastical. So much detail, its beyond Trader Sams even. Yep, I said that too. I am so impressed. We love it! Luckily we live kind of close in Cali so we will be making the road trip back here often. Thank you Golden Tiki

Back here again! Had to give it all 10's . This place rocks . They have added a magician named Krystal on the Weekends to entertain you as they make their delicious drinks. It's seems every time I come I notice something new . This time several new shrunken heads AH MAZING! Love love love it here

Hands down THE BEST Tiki Bar I've ever been to. The decor by Tiki Disblo is mind blowing. The menu design by Doug Horne is top notch . I read people complaining about drinks and service. I'm here to tell you the drinks were insanely good. Some of the best I've had anywhere and I've had them from Cate to Barry. These are just as good if not better. They were packed when I went last night . They had a burlesque show but the service was great. Of course it's a tiki bar. Drinks take longer to prepare , but we didn't wait that long at all. You have to check out their Hall of Curiosity near the bathrooms. It's amazing! Also , make sure to check the portholes in the pirate room and the Monkey Paws in the hallway for hidden treats . I can go on and on. This place is that good!

It was quiet when I went, and they had run out of mugs to sell due to a rockabilly convention the weekend before... And it was still the best tiki bar I had ever been to. Can't wait to go back!

We love the Golden Tiki! Went last week for Marky Ramone of the Ramones. He was the guest DJ. It was awesome! The owner was celebrating his birthday and the fact they were just named Best Tiki Bar in America by the Food Network. They are definitely one of the best I've seen for sure. We sampled the whole menu all of the drinks except two were phenomenal. We went to Frankie's and it was ok. Small and smelled like smoke. Golden Tiki doesn't smell like smoke . We liked that a lot . Both places are worth checking out though . The crowd at Golden Tiki was better and the staff friendlier for sure. Can't wait to go back.

Great service!
Great drinks!
Great music!
The best atmosphere I've ever seen in a tiki bar anywhere
This place should be ranked at least a 9. Guess it's cause they're new? I'm so glad we listened to Frankies bartenders and came here. Don't get me wrong , we love them too but his place is on another level. Can't wait to go back. Wish they would open in SD

Cool spot, but the service has never been that great for me and my friends. As a local in Vegas I was excited for another tiki bar... I will always be true to Frankie's, their service is always great and drinks are always spot on! I happen to love the dark, dive bar vibe at Frankie's.

We usually go to Frankie's but I have been hearing so much about the Golden Tiki that we had to give it a shot. What a difference between the two, WOW! Frankie's is a hole in the wall , dive bar that reaks of smoke. The Golden Tiki is like an undiscovered jungle temple. It's incredible, breath taking and beyond words. The owner has gone above and beyond, every inch of the place tells a story. The staff was friend and the drinks were some of the best I ever had. We went on a Friday night and there had to be over 1000 people in and out throughout the night. We went to Frankie's after and it was crickets. Golden Tiki is clearly the locals choice. You need to see this for yourself next time you're in Vegas.

Came to Vegas this weekend because my good friend Senor Amor was Djing and the Golden Tiki and I've been looking for an excuse to come check this place out. If I had to describe it in one word it would be AMAZING! I was blown away that something this cool could be in Vegas. This blows anything in LA away. I met the owner Brad as he was putting up Monkey Paws in his Sideshow Hallway. What a great guy. Gave me and my friends the tour. So glad we did the tour as this place has so many wonderful secrets. The drinks were awesome . There was about 400 people inside . A little crowded but the bartenders did their best to keep up. We also saw a burlesque performance by Roxie Delight and a sideshow strong man called The Baron who lifted 75lbs using his nipples them eyelids. All of this show and no admission charge. Now that's a deal. We all loved this place so much I wish I could give it 15's. We didn't make it to Frankies maybe next trip . I'll rate them then. Thank you Golden Tiki for being so awesome

Aloha! Just flew back from New Years in Las Vegas and boy are my arms tired. I am happy to have found this page when googling the Golden Tiki. I can't tell you how impressed I was with this place. So impressed I'm literally writing this and it's almost three in the morning here. My friends and I had such a great time there. The place is the best designed tiki bar I've ever seen. I can't imagine anything better. The drinks were delicious . Between me and my friends we tried them all and they were all top Knotch! My personal favorite was the Hemingway's Ruin. It was the ruin of me all right . I'm still spinning ha ha! I didn't get a chance to check out Frankies but every local I asked said the Golden Tiki was the place to be. We loved it so much we went Friday , Saturday and Sunday and its was very busy. Great crowd all kinds of people , just like a tiki bar should be. We took a cab , parking was the only thing that could possibly be an issue as the lot was full they were so busy. Overall great time . Now that I found this site I'll post more reviews! Mahalo

I see the debate on here about their drinks. I grabbed a photo off of their FB page and will post. They fresh squeeze their limes and my husband said that in itself makes the best Mai Tai. He's still raving about their Mai Tai :)

My husband and I came to Vegas for New Years . We are from OC and came to see The Toledo Show at Golden Tiki on NYE. Words can't describe how blown away we were from the whole experience . I wish I lived in Vegas , we would be there several times a week. What a cool bar. Big , spacious , Disney level detail . The staff was great. Mike was our main bartender. My hubby kept on bragging about the Mai Tai saying it was the best he's ever had. I had the Banana Batida and Painkiller. So delicious! So amazingly good. We had so much fun NYE we came back Friday and Saturday. This is our spot. Only complaint is their mug selection was limited . Asia our server said it was because they have sold out of everything that Tiki Farm has. Which is true as this place is clearly the place to be . They were packed! The secret we discovered is to go early and grab a table. Oh! THEY HAVE DOLEWHIP! We love this place and are already planning a return trip for Viva. Thank you tiki gods :)

This is my new favorite bar in Las Vegas and a proper Tiki room. The drinks are well made by bartenders who know their craft, but most impressive is the clear passion for Tiki throughout. The staff is friendly, it's way less smoky than some Tiki bars and the decor is classic and is faithful to the theme and legend they invented. It's an interesting mix of Disney and naughty Vegas and it works.

Tiki Pug has obviously never been to The Golden Tiki. I have been many times and have sat and watched them squeeze limes for their lime juice every day at 5pm for during their Happy Hour when I am there eating and drinking. I work nearby. I couldn't just sit here and watch The Golden Tiki get attacked. It seems the crew from Frankies continues to make up false reviews. If you can't beat The Golden Tiki on atmosphere then lie about how bad their drinks are. Everyone in town knows their games. It's getting old. Truth be known their drinks are great. Ive drank all over from Tiki Ti (which is the best drinks anywhere) to Smugglers (awesome too) and Golden Tiki's are great. Some of their drinks have 10 to 13 layers of flavor. Some are a little unique for my taste buds but I have talked with the owner and he's in the process of updating the drink menu. They are new only a few months old. Their mixologist who designed their menu just was nominated for bartender of the year. To keep attacking them on their drinks makes you a liar and a hater. Anyone on here saying that is flat out lying. You can go to other sites like their FB page and see 100's of 5 star reviews of people who love their drinks. So really weird everyone here hates them ha ha give me a break. I had one questionable drink in at least 30 visits, but the place was packed with 300 people and the bartenders were swamped. You can't even get that many people into any of the places you mentioned. What would happen if 300 people went to Frankies? Or Tiki Ti?? Quality would suck I am sure. When you are that popular, and serving that many people ,and are new mistakes are going to happen. Overall they are great drinks, made by a great staff and an owner who truly cares. This place deserves all 10's in my book.

The above reviewers have obviously never been to a tiki bar. Top 5 tiki bar in the world? Are you shitting me. Obviously that reviewer has never been to ANY OF THE TOP 10 TIKI BARS according to Critiki. These drinks are horrible. Their main ingredient is Rose's Lime Juice. Any bar that puts Rose's in a mai tai instead of actual freshly squeezed lime juice should be ashamed of themselves. It looks great inside. But looks only last so long. Once you taste a drink, you'll be done. Anyone who says these drinks are good have never been to Tonga Hut, or Smuggler's Cove , or Tiki Ti, or The Mai Kai - the list goes on, and on , and on, and on.

Just left there and all I can say is wowza! My new favorite tiki bar ever. I'm literally speechless and my hubby will be the first to tell you how rare that is. Luckily my husband and I are staying in vegas til monday so we can come back here every night til then. We tried Franks and the smoke killed us. It's cool but tiny and bartenders were rude . We read online that the drinks at franks were better. This is so far from the truth . They were nasty at best compared to golden tiki. We loved everything about golden tiki. How can you not? It's so well put together. No wonder it's busy. The only thing that kind of turned me off was the video machines but this is vegas and franks has them too. If you haven't been you need to go immediately it's worth a ticket to see the wonderful island of the golden tiki! Oh the bartender gave us a card for a free lyft ride which was a nice touch .

Heard "Too Darn Hot" by Ella Fitzgerald on the speakers outside, entered to hear "A Pirate's Life for Me" inside, and knew I was home.

The Golden Tiki just opened this past summer, and I can already tell they're doing it right. From Hunter S. Thompson's (real) knife stabbed into the wall, to the Enchanted Tiki Room drummers incorporated into the decor, to the genuine Dole Whip on order, to the young couple I met who offered me a cigar.

Highly, highly recommended for Tiki ohana visiting Vegas.

Why this isn't on the list for best Tiki Bars for 2015 is beyond me. This is easily one of the top 5 in the world. This is a MUST SEE when you come to Vegas. The attention to detail is better than Disney good. It's downright amaze balls!
