Well even though I am not in Vegas yet the good ole postman just brought me a nice package from Frankie's. The mugs are awesome and thankfully they arrived in one piece. I did have my doubts since the box was rattling but those were some swizzles and matchboxes they included shaking around at the bottom.
Now that I have the mugs all that is left is to actually drink out of them-- which I plan to use that Bearded Clam mug a little later tonight 
Really awesome mugs and they look even better in person.

Quit yer whining! I just drove home in white-out conditions. The crap is falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour! I'll be in the basement spending quality time with my rum, if anybody's looking for me!

Words of wisdom... Do not use Pine for a Commercial Tiki Bar.

Very cool, but I'll have to wait til November to check out Frankie's. I will, however, be ordering mugs next month. The wait will just make the drinks taste that much better! Only 10 more months!!!

I'll be hitting up Frankie's this weekend while visiting LV from San Francisco...
From the looks of it and what i've read it sounds like it's gonna be a favorite of mine up there with Forbidden Island..
