Live Music
THE GOLDEN TIKI: (Chinatown) This is a great spot to begin your night! There’s nothing quite like it. Think Gilligan’s Island meets Disney, meets flaming tiki drinks!! They also make fresh Dole Whip. Live music most evenings. Be sure to get your picture taken in the giant clam!!

SAND DOLLAR: (In Chinatown) Las Vegas’s oldest music bar. On a bad night, at the very least you’re going to hear some great music. Check their website for band listings. It’s about a 5-minute walk down the street towards the strip from the Golden Tiki. Drinks are reasonably priced too! Hidden in the Sand Dollar is a pizza kitchen that has incredible pizza. Pool tables and video poker.

Coffee!

MIMOSA’S: Close by as well, this breakfast and lunch spot brunches hard!! There’s quite a scene on the weekend –that could be because they serve up giant mimosas for the table; an entire bottle of champagne is used! You can order an individual one as well or anything else from their full bar. Solid breakfast spot they also have great burgers, sandwiches, and salads for lunch.

This is another great sushi restaurant in the neighborhood. So fresh and reasonably priced. Cute hole in the wall. I've been going there for over a decade now and just recently learned there's a hidden restaurant in the back, by reservation only called HARI-Sushi Kaiseki.

Hobak: Korean BBQ restaurant that is also a steakhouse --you know you’re being fed a superior cut of meat. The quality is more than most Korean BBQs. They ensure the food is cooked correctly in front of you, and the restaurant has a fun, modern interior. This place has the best steak I have ever had in my life, it just melts in your mouth—I think it was the marinated ribeye on the menu.
