WOW! It's been a minute since I've been to the Rio and explored. And we were here for a show and…read moreended up checking out this place after a bartender told us to on property after the show ended. And I'm so glad we did! This is such a cool bar on property at the Rio. It's a very Brazilian vibe in here and just so cool. The lounge seating is absolutely beautiful. I just got a gin and tonic, but next time I come back here, definitely grabbing one of their tropical cocktails which looked so good. There was live entertainment when we were here, too. Such a cool spot. Would definitely come back here again!

A new development on our last visit was the new Lapa Lounge Bar. A large round bar between the…read morecasino floor and the front doors. Adhering to the Brazil vibe, it has a gold jaguar climbing the bar and a very chique vibe with pops of gold and patterned seat upholstery. And it's a perfectly convenient stop for a drink when meeting others in the lobby to leave for dinner. Bartender Christian is as friendly as all the staff at the Rio and took great care of us. The cocktail game is real and we had some excellent, beautiful drinks. There was a live singer some nights. (Lapa & Luckley's have happy hours a few days a week) Also, I don't know how often this happens, but while in the casino we were given a buy one get one coupon for drinks here! But be sure to tip on your total before the discount ;)

We went to The Golden Tiki with my nieces on a Tuesday night, and was surprised to find it…read moreabsolutely packed, which says a lot about how popular this Chinatown gem is, even on a weekday. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you have been transported into an underwater, tropical adventure somewhere between a Hawaiian island, a pirate ship, and an old school Vegas attraction. The decor is completely over the top in the best possible way: bamboo and thatch, carved tikis, glowing portholes, tropical artifacts, hidden details, and an artificial night sky that makes the whole space feel like its own little world. Every corner gives you something new to look at, so it is easy to understand why people come here as much for the atmosphere as for the cocktails. The Golden Tiki opened in 2015 in the former Little Macau space and was designed as a tribute to classic mid century tiki bars, with an especially theatrical, Vegas style twist. Its elaborate interior includes work from tiki artists and features a playful fictional pirate legend centered on Captain William Tobias Faulkner and the mysterious Golden Tiki. That sense of storytelling comes through everywhere in the bar's design. The service was fun, welcoming, and matched the lively energy of the room. Even with the place being busy, the experience felt upbeat rather than stressful. And the cocktails were excellent, tropical, creative, and exactly what you want in a serious tiki bar. If you are looking for a typical quiet cocktail lounge, this probably is not it. But if you want strong drinks, friendly service, and one of the most visually memorable bars in Las Vegas, The Golden Tiki is absolutely worth visiting. It is the kind of place that makes a regular Tuesday night feel like a mini vacation.

Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 I was recommend to try this place by a few people, so I had high hopes. Plenty of parking around the area but limited parking directly in front. They had live music on Saturday nights that starts right at 10p. After we got our IDs checked, we walked in and were immediately overwhelmed. It was very loud, very busy, and looked like your typical dive bar, which was cool. There were no seats in the front of the bar, at the bar, or even the tables in the back. After ordering our pizza, we finally found seats to eat near the pool tables in the back. We ordered the Champagne & Reefer, which is their supreme pizza. We were hungry so this pizza hit the spot. To be completely honest, I think my friend and I did not enjoy this place because I think we were the youngest at this bar. Everyone around us seemed to be having a great time and we were happy for them. We were slightly overwhelmed and felt like we needed a bar menu. We ended up just skipping alcohol all together at this place. I might want to try this place again with a bigger group of people. I see that they have a beer list online so I'll definitely look at that the next time I stop in.

Off the beaten path and in a corner hotel. I parked in back and went in. Clean space, plenty of seating. They had a live band. We ordered our drinks and nabbed a table. Great band. Played a mix of hits. We then saw the sign for the pizza. Now the pizza was amazing. They had an oven. The only downside is that it did take awhile. I would definitely come back.

It's a small, intimate bar so the crowd control is great. Also, dress is strict but the staff was pretty good at taking a look & letting folks jow whikle they were on line. Once we got it, we loved the atmosphere! Great band. Wonderful bartenders, yummy drinks. Love the no phones policy, allowed everyone to actually enjoy the vibe. For Vegas, I'd say the prices were on par.

Wow this place BLEW US AWAY!!! We got in on Saturday night and walked into Bruno Mars performing!!…read more The vibe was so energetic and unique, I definitely think the no phone policy is what made it feel so special. We had so much fun we went back on Sunday night just expecting good energy and live music. We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!

I opted for a comfier lounge chair next to the bar and checked out the menu on the table. When I was ready to order, I went up to the bar. Which, if you've been to bars in general, they happily take your order and you wait and bring the drinks back to your seat. Well not at Vesper. Went up ready to order and the bartender asked where we were seated and said a waitress would come by and that we couldn't order with him. We sat, we waited 15-20 mins and no one came around. We waited long enough and decided it wasn't worth our money. If trying to get an order in was this difficult, can't imagine what the rest of the service is like.

The Wednesday special is hard to beat $100 for a 1L bottle with bottle service, which is an awesome value compared to most Vegas clubs. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our host and server were attentive, and all of the staff and security were friendly, welcoming, and professional. The DJ kept the energy up all night with a great mix of Top 40 hits and EDM, so there was something for everyone in our group. Between the music, the atmosphere, and the great service, everyone had an amazing time. If you're a local looking for a fun Wednesday night spot or have friends and family visiting, I definitely recommend checking out Ghostbar. I'll definitely be back!
