Located in Chinatown on Warm Springs (whee Little Macau used to be) is a brand new tiki bar. I managed to visit it last week during their soft opening (grand opening is later this month), but what I saw was very cool. Pirates Of the the Carribean theme song? Check. Giraffe bones holding up carvings? Check. Talking, animatronic skeletons? Check. Skulls? Check. Hundreds of skulls? Check. Waterfall? Check. Machete formally owned by Hunter S. Thompson? Check. Starlit sky over the bar, complete with fireworks? Check. Lots of literary references in the menu? Check.

Delicious well-made cocktails served in tiki mugs? Check.

This place rocks and I will look forward to seeing the final product next time I am in Vegas.
