My dad was in Vegas for a few days so I had to take him to his first tiki bar. I ordered him a 3 rum scum, he put 20.00 in the poker machine and won over $500.00!!! Paid for his trip and then some. Need I say that pops now loves all things tiki. Thanks Frankie's for giving me a memory to last forever.

Good one! That could become a campaign for all kinds of Tiki destinations. Really works best in the desert, though, where an oasis is most desired.

Picture with Chumlee from Pawn Stars in front of Frankie's mascot tiki. And here he is with Mrs. Gabbahey.
I ended up with four mugs by the end of the night although one is technically the wife's. I wish I could have spent more time there. I was happy to find their navy grog tasted like mine (confirmation that I can follow directions.) Full disclosure, I was tipsy enough to have some trouble adding my tip into my tab at the end of the night but I eventually worked it out. Good times.

Love, love, love Frankies - here's the Bouncer & myself out front. I think the bathrooms & the jukebox on the wall were fantastic there.

Hi everybody, I am new to this forum but I am at Frankie's just about every tuesday night. Here's the thing i also run a website called nevadastrange.com. It's a ghost hunter / urban exploring website. I did a video on the ghost in Frankie's. Just though you might want to see it... Here is the link http://www.nevadastrange.com/2011/08/exploring-haunted-frankies-tiki-room-in.html
Thanks,
Johnny Strange

Johnny Strange, are you privy to the current state of the Underground House? Is it still rented for events?
>>Jerry built a 6,000 square foot luxurious underground home near the Alexander Dawson buildings in Las Vegas where he lived. You took an elevator down into the underground home 25 feet below ground. There was a main house, heated swimming pool with cascading waterfall, a guesthouse and "outdoor" walkways. It had a remote-controlled lighting system, which could turn a starry night sky into a beautiful sunrise - all with a push of a button! The underground home was featured on the Travel Channel in 2003. Jewell Smith painted the murals<<

How bad is the smoking there? I'm a heavy drinker but a non-smoker, and the girlfriend is Asthmatic. We've been surviving just fine in the hotels because of the top notch ventilation at the better ones. This is pretty much our last night here, and I have enough hooch in this hotel room to kill an entire frat of college kids, so its unlikely I'll get over there this trip, but we are hoping for another one in the not insanely distant future. Mostly since this trip has been mostly free, the Girlfriend won a $1200 jackpot first night we were here on dime slots.
This is actually my first time in vegas as an adult, I was conceived and born here, but raised in California my entire life. Its like disneyland for drunken horny adults. Wonder if they need botanists/horticulturalists...
