Stopped in here this past weekend, and it was everything I was hoping it would be and more! The drinks were delicious (I highly recommend the Kahiki Kai or the Tiki Bandit), the staff was friendly, and the decor was beautiful! As it was my birthday, my boyfriend bought me the entire set of their tiki mugs, too. I'll have to post pics later...
BTW, I'm new to this forum, but have been lurking for a while. Nice to meet you all! I definitely plan on attending Tiki Oasis next year!

Anyone going to Frankie's that could pick me up one of the slot tiki necklace and a few matchbooks? I would gladly pay for these items.

is there like a warehouse in the back to house all those mugs? I still got to get mine. While everyone is going up in price, these are the best prices around.

I have my mugs on order so they should be on their way soon.
Might as well buy them now so I can save my moola for drinking and the slots when I head out to Vegas next.
Awesome to hear it had such a great opening.
I can only imagine how packed it will be during Viva Las Vegas-woooo hooo!
