Golden Monkey Tiki Lounge

We came here cause the wife has been wanting to come to a tiki bar and while this technically fits the bill, I didn't really get tiki vibes. The place is nice with pretty decor, but it felt like a normal Vegas bar/lounge. Regardless, I ordered the Bird of Paradise drink and my wife got a Latitude Adjustment. They were both pretty good, with the Latitude Adjustment being a bit better. The drink was a decent price, like $17 each. I've likely outgrown my fruity drink phase, as they were both very fruity and sweet, but other people may love them. The bartender was very friendly and helpful and offered us water while we selected our drinks.

As you step into the Golden Monkey Tiki Lounge at Resort World, you'll find yourself transported to a tropical paradise that exudes luxury and leisure. The bar's decor marries classic Tiki bar elements with modern touches, creating an inviting and lively ambiance. You'll be greeted by striking golden monkey statues perched above the bar, which adds a whimsical touch to the tropical escape. The attention to detail in the decor is impressive and elevates the entire experience, making it an immersive setting that's hard to forget. Apart from the ambiance, the beverage menu is equally impressive, showcasing the Golden Monkey Tiki Lounge's commitment to delivering a unique and flavorful experience. The One Way Ticket and Fire Dancer cocktails are the real stars of the menu, fusing traditional Tiki bar classics with innovative twists, utilizing high-quality spirits and carefully selected ingredients. The food options are also a delightful surprise, with the coconut shrimp and egg rolls served on charming shark plates being a crowd favorite. Despite some reviews suggesting it may be a better hangout spot, the lounge's personalized and attentive service made our experience grand. Though the lounge may have been less crowded, the skilled mixologists crafted exceptional drinks, offering a perfect balance of flavors. In conclusion, my experience at the Golden Monkey Tiki Lounge was terrific. The ambiance, drinks, and unexpected culinary delights made for a memorable visit. I wholeheartedly give this establishment a well-deserved five-star rating and encourage others to experience the tropical allure of this sophisticated and enchanting Tiki lounge at Resort World.

Don't sleep on the Golden Monkey. Best drinks I've had up to this point! The mixologist who crafted these cocktails is worthy of praise. Fresh ingredients always make for better anything, and cocktails are no different! We had a rum runner, a maitai, and lattitude adjustment. All amazing!

This place has amazing atmosphere and phenomenal, well thought out, tropical drinks. If you're going through Vegas and you want the island experience, this is your place. And the music is off the hook amazing. You've got to check this out.

We had a Freaki Tiki, a Firedancer, a One Way Ticket, and an Altitude Adjustment. They were all great. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun, and the service was good. The only thing is that our table asked for water and the server brought us bottled water instead of just tap water, which seemed like upcharging for upcharging's sake.

3 stars due to value. Drinks are great, but about 60-70% ice. At $18-20, feel like it shouldn't be mostly ice. Seriously, you could drink the entire drink and the ice was still at the top. Picture is of a fully finished drink. Servers were great though. Cannot comment on the food though.

They missed the mark. This is not a tiki bar. It’s a weird hotel lobby-like bar with some tiki mugs on the wall and bartenders wearing Hawaiian shirts that happens to overlook a jewelry store. The worst part is the music. So inauthentic! Jimmy Buffet is Key West—not Polynesia. Sheryl Crow, Burning Down the House?! OMG. Trader Vic is rolling in his grave. Wait. I forgot about the strange drink choices for a tiki. Rum Runners?! Again…this is not the Florida Keys. The drinks were pretty and only took about 10 minutes compared to other reviews, but the bar was quiet that night. My Mai Thai was decent. Pearl Diver very good. Doubt I’ll be back. If they want to survive, they need to add bamboo partitions to enclose the bar like a tiki and ditch the horrific playlist. If You Like Pina Coladas?! I almost spit out my Mai Thai.

Didn't try the food but got a drink (feelin' coconutty). It was pretty good. The server was pleasant and correctly attentive (not pushy or absent for an extended period). The ambiance was nice: dimly lit, which improved overall social engagements. Overall, it's not a bad place to visit and I'd go again.
