Anyone who loves the establishment like local Jumbos Clown (Hollywood) will enjoy Dinos. It has a mixed of local base and seems like a light amount of touists, but allows smoking/vaping (prepare to come with clothes that will reek a bit after) and is karaoke vs burlesque. Games: Pool/Billard table. Finally popped our Dino's cherry! And with amazing 2 friends (group of 4). Small or larger groups work. We visited around 1am (considered Sunday) and it wasn't dead but it wasn't packed. It was fairly lively and spacious, now then enough seating stools and tables for ppl. Across from the karaoke small stage is the bar with vintage porn of particular focus on only 1 gendar projected. The 1 women's restroom I used was very clean, just a thin door way into it (not too friendly for full bodied ppl). But this place is old which is part of the character. They do have a parking lot. And located by Jack In The Box.

Just follow the neon "girls girls girls live nudes" sign if you gotta touch up your makeup. The drinks were so strong and the prices were retro. No inflated casino prices or watered down, pre-mixed sugar cocktails here. The bartender and doorman were so nice and welcoming. The karaoke was great; no, the host did NOT charge $$ per song as mentioned in an earlier review. I was told that only happens if he's asked to stay on past 2 AM when he's not getting paid. Most of the singers were pretty good, and they sing a lot of rock. I sang jazz, and the audience was very receptive to Rat Pack era standards. I can't wait to come back!

That's the special, go get the can at any 7/11 and I promise you'll enjoy it more in literally any setting. The reason I was told why they don't have taps was from literal staff saying the bartenders don't know how to properly clean to keep taps an option. Disgusting in pretty much every sense besides the people who need a venue or a stage. Mediocrity, overpriced, dark, smelly, and the bartenders will be on their 3rd day of a bender when you arrive so expect that service standard. Go to the papusa place next door though it's amazing.

If you know Vegas beyond the Strip, you know Stage Door Casino is one of those spots…read more I actually found this place by accident. Just wandering around while friends were still asleep, exploring a bit, and it ended up being one of the best random stops I've made. Best dollar I've probably spent in Vegas was on that hot dog. No joke. Simple, quick, and it hit exactly the way it needed to. Sometimes that's all you want. This place isn't fancy at all, and that's exactly why it works. It's a break from the Strip. No pressure, no over the top pricing, just a real, old school Vegas feel. You walk in and it's got character. You can tell it's been around and has history behind it. It's one of those places that reminds you Vegas wasn't always about high end everything. There's still spots like this that keep it real. Ever since I found it, I've made it a point to stop by when I'm in town. It just became part of the routine. Great way to kick off the day, or honestly anytime. Love this place.

Welcome to Frankie's Tiki Room…read more This Iconic Tiki bar on Charleston Blvd/Shadow Ln on the east side of Downtown Las Vegas. It's the world's only 24 hour Tiki Bar, opening its doors in December of 2008, nearly 18 full years ago. It has a spacious but limited parking lot, bright neon sign, cool outside entrance and even more wonder inside. True to tiki decor with island themed fixtures, tables, patterns, seating and ambiance. Hints of surfing culture, rockabilly and retro. Perfect signature original or classic tiki drinks via their menu as well as full bar, soft drinks and beer. The Makalele Knockout is probably one of my personal favs with rum(s), lime, hibiscus and a incredible blend of flavors. However the Tiki Bandit, Frankiestein, Dr No, ScruV and numerous others might speak to you. I've been to Frankie's a few times about 10 years ago, so it was nice to stop in with a group of buds and share some convo as well as meet up with my oldest best friend and her wife, who ironically is who I came to Frankie's with those first times a decade ago. All tiki drinks are currently $15 and well worth it. You're able to drink, gamble (at the bar), smoke, converse, sway (good music) but limited space and enjoy the night or day away. Seating goes quick at night, especially on weekends, but arriving earlier (before 8pm) can help. Sometimes tables, seats and areas open up faster if you're patient. All the staff, including the bartenders and door guy are thoughtful and personable. We eventually got part of the area that's slightly enclosed with a great view of the entire bar especially being a group of 6 to 8 at once point. High recommend.

The decor is perfect for a trip through time. There's a huge variety of beer between the on tap and bottled. It's the old school order at the bar and take your drinks to the table. Bartender was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The beer was served in the proper glassware. The decor has an incredible number of vintage signs, promotional displays, clocks, etc. some for beer brands no longer made. There is also a huge beer can collection. It's a very nice breaking from blinding flashing lights and loud music. Tip: From the outside you will think you're on the wrong street. There's no sign, flashing lights, folding message boards, etc. Open the door by the 222 and step into yesteryear with a modern supply chain. It's worth a visit.

Drinks: 5/5 (huge selection) Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Located in Downtown Las Vegas, this place has a huge selection of beers. We walked over and had our IDs checked outside. Guy who checked our IDs let us know this place is like walking into a Midwestern basement and that they serve beers only. I thought this was so helpful because imagine walking in and thinking they served cocktails only to realize it was beer only. When we walked in it did look like you walked into a basement. Lol The place is very retro and I loved the beer cans on the wall. They have a photo booth located in the back right corner for $5 for 2 strips. Honestly, this place was cool but only downside was I felt like it had dead air. I was sweating in there, but the vibe did overpower my only complaint. Service was good. We sat at the bar and were helped right away. I looked through their menu and settled on a fruit beer while my friend had a stout. Trust, there's something for everyone whether you love or like beer. I saw that they served food but my friend and I just came for drinks. I definitely recommend checking this place out. Very cool area and the selection of beers is great.

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.

The service is top notch, the ladies are wonderful even when they are intentionally projecting insults at you with the megaphone. You will get a good laugh. The bartenders dance on the bar top every hour so make sure you get your crap off the bar when they do! Ask for a water or get cocky and you might be wearing the water instead of drinking it. I've been sprayed with the water gun a time or two. Haha! If it's your first time I recommend asking for a "hog piss" shot. They are only $3 at the time of writing this and actually pretty tasty. Don't forget to buy your bartender one as well! The security staff was very professional and they do check IDs. They were on top of everything very discretely without disruption. Shout out to Nathan! Great guy! I had some guy starting an altercation with me thinking my beer was his. The security team noticed the interaction and immediately redirected him without further escalation. This was my first time to the new location and I stayed at the Plaza Hotel just so I was close to my favorite bar. This bar is also very lady friendly, not just for the guys. I see wedding parties come in all the time. Everyone has a blast! Only complaints I had about this location was you had to walk through the casino to use the restroom and then come back. Also the bartenders have to tame it down a bit from their previous location since it's located in a casino. Also if you are easily offended from profanity or crude comments then this isn't the place for you. I personally love it. This is a temporary location and I can't wait for the opening of their new permanent location. I had a great time as always and will be back as always! I highly recommend going to Hogs if you have not been. You will not be disappointed. Don't forget to tip your bartenders! To the Plaza Hotel...Good move allowing Hogs to be part of your establishment. That was the only reason I stayed at the Plaza during my stay and also enjoyed your hotel. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again to the Hogs and Heifers Family for always making us feel part of the family and not just a fixture. See ya soon!
