Food Scene
Let's say you're ready to completely detox and eat a healthy meal (for a change?) while staying at the TIKI HOUSE. Want to add a short walk to the equation? Great! Head over to Greens and Proteins and order any of their healthy, yummy offerings. My fave is the Veggechino smoothie. Check out more of my local favorites at bohosthq.com/tikihouselv

This is a terrific Mom & Pop eatery that is easily accessible from the TIKI HOUSE. In fact, I would recommend walking! Not only is the food delicious, but it's been featured on television, so it has a fun, high energy buzz from all of the folks checking it out. Easy walk from the TIKI HOUSE LV

Another walkable, independent restaurant we love! This is such a find--we are so glad it's a quick walk from the TIKI HOUSE (unless you're wearing high heels--like Julie likes to do--then you'll want to drive the few blocks). Yummy salads, calamari, wine and other Italian treats made by an authentic chef.

Drinks & Nightlife
When we want a quiet place to chill out, drink a beer, and feel right at home on the nights we head out from the TIKI HOUSE--we head over to the Starboard Tack. Why? It's a terrific neighborhood bar that has authentic island fare, good service, and a vintage tiki vibe. 24 hour food, a faux aquarium (um, what?), friendly people, decent craft beer. . . . . it's our happy place. #tikihouselv

Seeing that's we're hosts of the TIKI HOUSE, we love Frankie's. It's the perfect blend of Viva Las Vegas kitsch. Not only is the decor perfectly tiki with their lit blowfish and totems, but the TVs are always on some random, vintage island newsreel. This neighborhood joint is incredibly touristy, but that doesn't necessarily keep locals away. There's a decent happy hour and always a good, friendly crowd. Pay attention to the strength of your drinks (they mark their strength on the menu). Their fruity goodness can sneak up on you if you're not careful. #tikihouselv

If you're staying with us at the TIKI HOUSE, then it only makes sense to head over to The Golden Tiki in Chinatown at least one night you're in town. Walk in and get swept away by the whole Viva Las Vegas vibe down to the fruity, fun cocktail menu. Get a picture taken in the mouth of an oyster or pose beside a mummified mermaid. Yes, you read that right. #tikihouslv

Here's the thing about PT's Ranch--you can stumble home to the TIKI HOUSE safely or get a ride home from Lyft cheaply. In other words, location, location, location. It's also a pretty good place to shoot pool, catch a game, or eat some bar food (inside or outside on the patio) and have a drink while you gamble. We recommend putting in $100, getting free beers and chatting with the locals over a pack of cigarettes. You can do all that from your bar stool here at the Ranch. Lyft = $7 + tip for the driver.

Sightseeing
Twenty five years ago downtown Las Vegas decided to get a face lift. The entire section of town was pretty derelict and in sections (especially in the residential neighborhoods) it still is. The idea for the improvements was simple--create a promenade with a shade canopy for tourists as they walk along the section of Fremont Street lined with historic casinos. Add the biggest LED light show in the world, twenty stages with live music, a zip line, and the best (albeit raunchy) people watching EVER--and we now have the Fremont Street Experience. Lyft = $19 + tip for the driver.

Heading to the Strip? Take a small detour and save a lot of hassle. Ask your Lyft driver to drop you off at the High Roller. It's a ginormous Ferris wheel with an open bar that's so slow and so tall that you can see the entire Las Vegas Valley over a few cocktails in a small gondola-like cabin. This iconic landmark is at the base of a lively promenade called the Linq that's full of restaurants and bars that may actually distract you enough you never make it to the Strip. As Emerson reminds us: "Life is a journey, not a destination." Lyft = $14 + tip for driver.

The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas!" is a sign in the middle of a median south of the Strip. Take a selfie in front of the sign and now you have proof you were here. The iconic sign (and crowds waiting to take pictures 24/7) is on the south end of the Strip and always has a lot of dressed up bursars (show girls, action heroes, Elvis impersonators--you get it) ready to pose in your picture with you. This is how these folks make a living (for reals), so be sure to tip them if you get your picture with them. Lyft ride = $14 + tip for the driver.

Essentials
What could be more quintessential TIKI HOUSE than all of the kitsch island offerings found at Trader Joe's? Kyle Kinane does a great bit about Trader Joe himself being a wannabe explorer in a Volvo station wagon. That sounds about right. While you're there, grab an extra bottle of Two Buck Chuck and uncork it with your new friends staying at the TIKI HOUSE. It will be the best $2.99 you ever spent.

Entertainment & Activities
Let's face it, the Las Vegas Strip is like no other place on earth. For many of you, that's why you're interested in staying with us at the TIKI HOUSE. But let's also be honest about how exhausting and expensive the Strip can be day in day out. The Green Valley Ranch casino is a terrific alternative to travelers who want to gamble, enjoy a lively pool scene, be in a luxurious environment, take in some live music, and have a typical Las Vegas style getaway without all the hassle. GVR is where we encourage guests to go on their "day off" from Vegas. It's relaxing and pretty and offers all of the things casinos are famous for. Lyft ride = $7 + tip for the driver.

The Boneyard at the Neon Museum is a wonderful, docent led trip down memory lane using ancient neon signs as the treasure map. Be sure you reserve your space after dark and far in advance. Tickets sell out weeks in advance. The "NOOK" bedroom of the TIKI HOUSE LV houses pictures Julie took during a recent tour to the Neon Museum.
