While this wasn't my first visit to The Golden Tiki, it was my first time making a reservation. In…read morethe past, I've popped in on a whim whenever I was in the mood for something fun and different. As someone who loves all things quirky and unusual, The Golden Tiki has always been right up my alley. When a friend came into town and wanted to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday, I thought it would be the perfect place to kick off our evening. I was able to make an online reservation just a couple of days in advance, which was quick and painless. What I didn't realize was that they offer a weekday happy hour and live music! We were seated in "Bull***t Corner," which turned out to be the perfect spot. We had a great view of both the bar and the entertainment, making for a lively and entertaining atmosphere. Also, can't forget to mention the service. The hosts were fun but our actual server was absolutely hysterical and fit right in with the fun. She kept us laughing throughout our visit, while also being incredibly attentive. Despite the busy atmosphere, she made sure our drinks were flowing, checked on us regularly, and made sure everything was taken care of. It's not often you find someone who can be both entertaining and genuinely great at their job, but she pulled it off effortlessly. Our guests were genuinely impressed, and everyone had a fantastic time. The drinks were excellent as always--I honestly don't think I've ever had a bad cocktail here. I haven't had the chance to try their food yet, and we decided to stick with a few drinks since we already had dinner reservations elsewhere, but after this visit, I definitely plan on coming back on a weeknight to order from the food menu. If you're looking for a fun, unique Vegas experience with great drinks, and plenty of personality, The Golden Tiki is always a solid choice.

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 ;)

I'm not typically a Mezcal drinker but he made me a Naked and Famous w/ an orange vanilla Aperol foam. Paired with the lowkey vibe of the venue, it was the perfect pairing for a chill night out.

Booths and bar seating available. We were quickly greeted by a delightful young man by the name of John. Who entertained us with stories of his upbringing and his haka. The handsome chef came out to greet us and explained the menu and answered all of our questions. He served us the Korean fried chicken. Very crispy skin. Flavorful with a little bit of spice. Sat on a bed of greens. Next we ordered the sea bass. Light and flaky. Served with coconut rice and a mole sauce. The top was crispy too. The sides paired well with the fish. Also ordered the rib eye mole. The steak was tender and juicy. The smoked mole sauce was so good. Tasted very authentic and we were very surprised that the chiles actually came from Huahaca (?? Spelling). It was a great accompaniment to the steak. It came with house made fresh tortillas. We asked for extra jalapeños and hot sauce and they were very accommodating. I'm not much of a drinker so when I asked John, who is also a very talented mixologist, to make me something that tasted like juice, he delivered this beautiful lychee "martini". The presentation was amazing. And went well with my fish. They had me try the pickle drink. The foam on top was good and the "margarita" at the bottom was good too. They even surprised us with tofu cheesecake. I don't like tofu or cheescake, but wow, this dessert was light. Not overly sweet. It was a perfect way to end the meal. The Chef and John and the other mixologist from Thailand were so friendly that even when we finished our meal, they shared stories with us. They made us feel like VIPs in our own private restaurant with a private chef and mixologists. We felt very welcomed and not rushed. Will definitely be back again for the top notch service!!

It's been 6 years since I've been to Sparrow and Wolf and I'm happy to report that the quality is…read morestill just as amazing as I remember! The menu has completely changed, but I loved that. We ordered quite a few different items, which I truly wish I remembered everything we got, but it was hard to remember. I truly think you can't go wrong here. I loved that our server asked us if there were any food allergies and was so knowledgeable of the menu that she was able to let us know what we could order and what we should order on the side. The menu is meant to be shared with others, which I love. That is usually how I like to eat when I go out with friends. And we truly enjoyed the entire experience. The mocktail I had was really delicious and refreshing. It's beautiful inside! I would say make a reservation just in case. But I definitely needed this reminder of how amazing this spot is because I will definitely be back sooner than 6 years now haha

This restaurant has been on my list for years, so I was really looking forward to finally trying…read moreit. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. For two people, our bill came to $420, which set very high expectations. To make matters more disappointing, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill, even though we were only a party of two. I didn't notice anything indicating that beforehand. Based on our experience, I felt the service was closer to 15% than 20%. The biggest issue was that almost every dish was overly salty. Oxtail Hummus - Probably our favorite dish. The hummus itself was flavorful and wasn't overly salty, but the naan was just okay. I was hoping for more texture with crispy edges. Bánh Cuốn - I appreciated the creativity of the dish, but the rice roll was surprisingly hard and chewy in the center when bánh cuốn should be soft throughout. The sauce was also very salty. Wood Fired Lumina Lamb - The lamb itself was good, but the nước chấm was extremely salty. Spanish Octopus - The octopus was cooked well, but again, it was overly salty. Snapper Tostada - Good, but nothing particularly memorable or unique flavor-wise. Rabbit Dan Dan Paccheri - I loved the perfectly al dente pasta, but the sausage was far too salty. Coal Roasted Dry-Aged Dorade - The crispy skin was excellent, but overall the dish didn't wow me. Oysters - The raw oysters had interesting flavors but leaned salty. The grilled oyster was my favorite of the oyster selections. The staff was genuinely friendly, and I appreciated that they were attentive about clearing and replacing our plates throughout the meal. However, the pacing of the meal really slowed down halfway through. We were there for almost two hours, and our dessert took at least 20 minutes to arrive. In fact, our check was brought to the table before our dessert, which felt odd. Las Vegas has an incredible dining scene with so many amazing restaurants. For a meal that cost $420 for two people, I expected something memorable. Instead, most of the dishes were overwhelmingly salty, the pacing was slow, and the overall experience simply didn't justify the price. I really wanted to love this place but I left feeling disappointed.

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.

Once I stepped foot inside and saw a completely packed house with an hour and a half wait and barely standing room at the bar, I knew it was worth whatever wait or process I had to go through. Ultimately I lucked out as an individual. I was able to snag a bar top seat pretty quickly and had I known then I was sitting down to what was going to be one of the best meals of my life, I would have been visibly more excited. Not only was the service absolutely top notch, the people and the regulars there were extremely friendly and outgoing. The vibe was perfect, a strange mix of a place that felt like it had been there for 200 years yet was somehow high energy and vibey. From a killer cocktail recommendation to one of the best steaks I've had in my life and coming from Oklahoma City, where I work a mile away from the stockyards and can get great quality fresh beef six ways from Sunday, that's saying a lot. I usually despise most things truffle but if I was forced to eat that truffle mac and cheese every day for the rest of my life I would consider it a life well lived. While I would have never ordered it on my own, a customer next to me recommended the porn star cocktail and I have to say it was also one of the most delicious things I've ever had in my life. Ten out of ten, top notch experience. Would recommend. Will be back every time I'm in Vegas, no questions asked.

It felt like the perfect mix of lounge and restaurant energy, making it great for both celebrations and date nights. The food was really good as well. We had the miso salmon, Hamachi fried rice tacos, Caesar salad, and shrimp, and everything came out fresh, flavorful, and well presented. The tacos were definitely one of my favorites and something I'd order again. I also appreciated their drink menu. They have a great variety of cocktails, but I especially loved that they offer non alcoholic drinks that still look and feel elevated instead of just being an afterthought. Overall, the service, atmosphere, and food made this a really enjoyable experience. You can tell a lot of thought went into the aesthetic and overall vibe of the place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again, especially for a date night or girls night.

When we arrived, we used the restroom before being seated. After we sat down, it took quite a while before our waitress even brought us water. When she finally returned to take our order, I asked about a drink I had seen on TikTok and requested that we each have one. She walked away, came back a few minutes later, and told us she "didn't feel comfortable serving us." There was no explanation, and we were left completely confused about what she meant. At that point, I told my fiancé we should leave and celebrate his birthday somewhere else. I originally found this lounge on TikTok and was really looking forward to trying it, but it was a huge disappointment. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this place.
