WOW! It's been a minute since I've been to the Rio and explored. And we were here for a show and…read moreended up checking out this place after a bartender told us to on property after the show ended. And I'm so glad we did! This is such a cool bar on property at the Rio. It's a very Brazilian vibe in here and just so cool. The lounge seating is absolutely beautiful. I just got a gin and tonic, but next time I come back here, definitely grabbing one of their tropical cocktails which looked so good. There was live entertainment when we were here, too. Such a cool spot. Would definitely come back here again!

A new development on our last visit was the new Lapa Lounge Bar. A large round bar between the…read morecasino floor and the front doors. Adhering to the Brazil vibe, it has a gold jaguar climbing the bar and a very chique vibe with pops of gold and patterned seat upholstery. And it's a perfectly convenient stop for a drink when meeting others in the lobby to leave for dinner. Bartender Christian is as friendly as all the staff at the Rio and took great care of us. The cocktail game is real and we had some excellent, beautiful drinks. There was a live singer some nights. (Lapa & Luckley's have happy hours a few days a week) Also, I don't know how often this happens, but while in the casino we were given a buy one get one coupon for drinks here! But be sure to tip on your total before the discount ;)

I don't drink so bars aren't my thing, but my mom has been wanting to come here for years, so I…read morefinally got her over here. Despite not drinking, I am glad we came! The atmosphere inside is simply top notch, its themed head to toe and for me personally, I always love a place that's well themed. We went in without a reservation and they managed to squeeze us into a table, we were served by a very friendly waitress who had good recommendations and was overall very attentive. The drinks were all good, and thankfully they have non-alcoholic versions for many of their drinks. No complaints on any of them, they were exactly what we were looking for. I will say the prices are a little steep, but this isn't someplace you are likely to come to on a regular basis, so I can excuse it. (And if you do like the vibe and come often, you can always get non tiki drinks cheaper.) Overall very very fun, wish we had come a little later because their was a band that was setting up and got maybe three songs in before we left, but they sounded pretty good!

TIKI OASIS!!! YES, PLEASE!…read more This place is a favorite of mine and always will be. The decor is beautiful, intriguing, and like I have entered a bar version of The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland (but for adults). All around this place has so much to look at; it's amazing. Drinks are yummy and beautiful here. They even have a nice food menu where you can get some things like coconut shrimp to pair with your tropical drinks. They do have the famous Dole Whip here. They also have a happy hour during weekdays from 3-6 pm I think (don't quote me on this exactly LOL). It's often busy so if you want a table, I recommend making a reservation. Service is always nice and friendly. It's a beautiful place for a drink, to hangout with friends, or show someone while they are visiting Vegas. Best bar in town for decor!!!

First time here, we followed their dress code but a lot of people there did not follow the code. My…read moreboyfriend inquired and I guess they ease up on the dress code because of the weather. I wish I had known because I like to be comfortable and if I didn't need to dress up, that would've been nice. Other than that, great place with an awesome view. A lot of the couches had a "reserved" sign on them, but again... people just did what they want. So I was able to sit down and chill for a while. Bar is a bit overwhelmed at times, but I guess it's to be expected. Lots of security, so it felt safe.

Had a group meeting us for drinks, ready for a good time... and instead we got a waitress who made…read moreit very clear she was not thrilled with our group size. She let multiple people know she was upset -- not just annoyed, but full-on airing her grievances -- because we couldn't put all our drinks on one bill. Then came the "concerns" about how she'd be tipped. So the night took a weird turn. Instead of laughing and sipping cocktails, some of us were consoling her and tipping extra out of guilt. If it was a ploy to squeeze out pity tips, well... mission accomplished. But as far as getting us back in the bar? Not likely. Which is a shame! I've been to this bar several times before (both this trip and previous ones) and always had a great time. The bartenders are stellar -- friendly, fast, and know their stuff. It's just unfortunate one person can change the whole vibe. The space itself? Still cool. There's a giant, deconstructed shark looming over the bar like some kind of Vegas art installation meets Jaws. It's probably seen better days (don't make eye contact), but it adds character. The bar's location is great too -- right at the entrance of the Palms, with all the buzz of table games and slot machines around. Drinks are solid. Big downside for me: no real egg whites in their cocktails. A whiskey sour without that frothy top is like Vegas without neon -- technically still works, but it's just not the same. All in all, one bad interaction kind of took the sparkle out of what should've been a great night. Might try somewhere else next time -- and luckily, in Vegas, there's no shortage of options.

During the nights it can get very busy and you can tell by the parking lot. There's a courtyard in the back as well and during the holidays it's really nicely decorated both inside and out. They have a pizza place inside. When you enter, go to the right and there's a window to order. They give you a buzzer and you'll know when your pizza is ready. I would say that the pizza is good, not great, but good. I got a pepperoni pizza. Ordering drinks - you go straight to the bar. The bartenders are all SUPER friendly! They help explain the different drafts that they have and are very attentive when you walk up. On some days they have two different acts for the live entertainment as well. Overall, it's great vibes!

The ambiance was a little odd as the music really pulled me out of the "high end" experience, but we were in the lounge area. There were some fun elements to the dinner like watching them cut a 40 oz ribeye at the table for my friends, but generally the food was what you expect from a high end steakhouse. Nothing mind blowing. We enjoyed the Brie dip, but the flavor was fairly benign. The creamed spinach was a favorite (less cream than spinach which was nice). I had the smaller ribeye, which was cooked perfectly and delicious. But the real winner of the meal was the house Manhattan! If you're looking for a solid steakhouse experience with no twists or unexpected elements, then this is the perfect place for you :)
