For anyone checking out this review before Halloween, highly recommend checking this place out…read moresoon!!!! :) Came here for a nice post dinner drink and overall, it was a great experience ~ From the festive Halloween decor all over the restaurant to the friendly staff in costumes, spending time here feels like you're in a different fun space. Things to note: ~ Reservations: Highly recommend!! If you have a reservation, you can sit at a table for up to 2 hours. ~ Drinks: Creative and strong. There's a fun Halloween theme menu and of the drinks I tried, love the Vampiro and the Spooky Juice. ~ Staff: Friendly and welcoming! ~ Food: Personally, didn't try any food since I was too full but the menu definitely looked appetizing! ~Parking: There's a lot right in front of the bar, so no worries there. Overall, I can't wait to come back again and try out more fun drinks and tasty sounding food :D

Hidden gem off the Strip that completely delivers. The Golden Tiki is tucked away in Chinatown and…read morethe moment you walk in you're hit with this wild, over-the-top tiki world with shrunken heads, glowing lanterns, bamboo, animatronics, the works. The decor is pure eclectic chaos in the best way and the whole place just feels like an escape from everything else going on in Vegas. Bartenders were friendly, knew their stuff, and the drink specials were solid. We stuck to the cocktails and they were excellent, strong, balanced, and exactly what you want in a proper tiki bar. They do have food, though we didn't try any this time. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is a fun spot to duck into with friends or family and disappear into some full on tiki madness for a while. Definitely worth the short trip off the Strip.

The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

"Be an opener of doors." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson Literally! I imagine this is how Alice felt when she fell down the rabbit hole except when I pushed the door with the donkey on it [did I enter a donkey... hole?], I was bathed with pink lights and loud music instead of a topsy-turvy Wonderland. Not a stranger to this Las Vegas speakeasy, this most recent visit I ordered a $20 Burro Tropical (volcan tequila, banks 5 island rum, chinola liqueur, calpico, ginger, lemon, soda), a $20 The Alfaro Strawberry Highball (dakabend oaxaca rum, strawberry, clarified lime, organic agave, sea salt, fever-tree club soda), and a $23 Truffle Nachos (white cheddar, black truffles, chives). The Burro Tropical comes with a little burro figurine that is yours to keep with purchase. I had two separate women come to my table and pointed out the donkey. I thought one of them was going to steal a chip but nope. They liked the donkey. I call him Ghost Malone. I also met a lovely woman, her sister, and her husband in town from Houston, Texas. We call her Martina. Much laughs were had. Ghost Donkey has multiple locations: Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, Omaha, and Phoenix. If you have one nearby, pop in!

You'll walk in and even guys will say, wow. We came in on a very busy weekend with a group of seven and we had a reservation. The host greeted us with smiles and walked us inside, towards the back where we had a view of nearly the entire space. Shortly after being seated our server Veronica came over and she welcomed us and told us a little about the menu. We had dinner reservations so we didn't eat anything but we all had a cocktail and they were all great, with everyone happy. Drinks are expensive and will cost you around $25 per person but I have to say that the environment and service is top notch and even though I like to complain about high strip prices, I'm not complaining about this place. I would come back here for date night or girls night out anytime and not feel bad about the prices because this place is done up in such an amazing way. I will come back to eat something here as well because the table next to us was raving about the food.

We had so much fun we went back on Sunday night just expecting good energy and live music. We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!

On a Sunday night, we asked a staff member about the deal posted for guests staying at Luxor, Excalibur, and Mandalay Bay, and we were able to get the deal. We received 105 points per person, which was enough for 7 games each since each game costs 15 points. The place wasn't busy at all on a Sunday night, which was perfect. They also have some games that don't require points. We especially enjoyed Duck Duck Boom, which was included with our admission. They even have a cellphone holder where you can set up your phone and film yourself while playing, which made it even more fun! The games were really fun, but what stood out the most was the staff. Everyone assisting us was super nice, friendly, and welcoming. They really made the experience even better. We had a great time and would definitely come back. Kudos to the amazing staff!
