A recent obsession of mine is old school tiki lounges - South Pacific theme, kitschy island music, mood lighting, and wicked strong  boozy drinks masquerading as benign fruit juice. I love the retro vibe and escapism of these rare, themed bars. I've been to Vegas a ton of times but have always stuck to either Fremont  Street orThe Strip - typical touristy stuff like casinos, shows, shopping, people watching etc.. On a recent trip Shawn and I decided to see some of Vegas we hadn't seen before. In addition to the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory andBotanical Gardens in Henderson, we found Frankie's Tiki Room which is located in an older part of Las Vegas and definitely off the beaten path.

Big doings tonight. We have tickets to the Michael Jackson ONE Cirque de Soleil show and reservations at Slice of Vegas, both at Mandalay Bay. Seeing ONE is on my bucket list, so Shawn bought tickets for my birthday. We did a quick online search and it's actually one of the shows in Vegas that is considered family friendly. Go us. While at the pool with my trusty iPhone I did a cursory search of Mandalay Bay restaurants and found Slice of Vegas. I remember eating there a couple years ago with Shanna and Steph before the Pitbull concert and I have fond memories of gluten-free pasta and imported GF beer. Pasta sounds like a winner to me. I'll let you know if they live up to the memory.
