If there’s one thing summer calls for, it’s fruity, tropical drinks. Nothing has the cooling power to battle this blazing heat quite like an ice-cold mai tai, and at Resorts World Las Vegas there’s a tucked-away tiki bar serving up delicious drinks, all in the comfort of crisp air conditioning—Golden Monkey Tiki Lounge.
From the casino floor, venture down the hallway just to the right of the escalators that lead up to the conference rooms. Down that corridor, stroll past Genting Palace to find this chic hot spot drenched in groovy, green lighting. Claim a seat at the bar or lounge in plush chairs by the tables and enjoy some seriously refreshing bevs, all served in the coolest cups you’ll find on the Strip. (Move out of the way, yardies.)
Plan to order a few drinks here, because there’s no way to choose just one. For a sweet and citrusy treat, try the Feelin’ Coconutty, made with Captain Morgan, Banks 5 Island rum, Kalani coconut liqueur, ube coconut syrup, pineapple and lime. If coconut is the vibe but you’d like something a little more spirit-forward, try the Funky Monkey, featuring coconut fat-washed Teeling Irish Whiskey, Giffard banana liqueur, Kalani coconut liqueur, bitters and nutmeg.
Find yourself exceptionally refreshed when you sip the Emerald Isle, a concoction of Hendrick’s gin, Midori, Cocchi Americano aperitivo, honey, cucumber and lime, or the Guava Gal, made with No. 3 London dry gin, Lillet Rouge, guava syrup and lime. If fantastic presentation does it for you, order the Fire Dancer, a delicious creation made with Patron Reposado, Tanteo habanero tequila, Nixta elote liqueur and spicy mango syrup served in a funky character cup and garnished with a flaming lime.
This is certainly a place you’ll want to bring all your friends to, and when you do, a punch bowl just makes sense. Quench all the thirsts with the Freaki Tiki with Herradura silver tequila, St-Germain, fassionola syrup, lime and hibiscus ginger beer for something fruity and floral, or have a sugary spectacle like the Hurricane, pictured, with Bacardi superior rum, Myers’s dark rum, pineapple, orange, lime and grenadine.
