Tiki Tiki Tiki Realms (50th Anniversary Disney Art Gallery display)

I flew on down the freeway on Sunday to check out the 50 anniversary of the Tiki Room Art Display.

Wow 50 years of singing and celebrating.

Here are samples of some of what is currently on display in the old Bank of America building on Main Street

 More Tiki Room Art work

I was actually expecting the display to be bigger.  It only took up the first section of the art gallery area, where most of the recent displays have included both sections.   I actually miss when the art gallery used to be above Pirates of the Caribbean and had a lot more space.       

After checking out the artwork it felt appropriate to visit the attraction itself and relax indoors for a bit.

A Quick stop at Frankie's Tiki Bar in Las Vegas

On the way into Vegas we finally got around to stopping off the strip at Frankie's Tiki Room.....

Frankie's Tiki Room is a dark little Tiki Bar that is worth stopping by and checking out for any Tiki Fan heading to Vegas for the weekend.     

Frankie's features art work from many well known names in the Tiki Community including big contributions by Bamboo Ben.    There are Tikis carved by Crazy Al,  Billy the Crud,  Tiki Bosko and Tiki Ray to name a few.....and Tiki Art by such   Doug Horne,   Big Toe,   SHAG,  Ken Ruzic,  Thor and others ...

The bar itself was very dark inside...We had to wait a few minutes for our eyes to adjust before finding a sit at the bar and enjoying some great Tiki Drinks while listening to great Tiki Music and watching some interesting Retro programing on the bars TV Screens....    The only drawback for us was the smokiness of the place which brought back memories of my Pineappleman  WASH  days of playing in smoky bars and coming home with your clothes all smoky.     Other than that it was a really cool experience that I'm glad I was able to finally mark off my Vegas bucket list.

And we will definitely have to stop by there again for a few more Tiki drinks.

Here are some smoky pictures of some of the cool Tikis to be found inside.

Here is Frankie's Original  Drink menu which you can get with or without a cool Tiki  Mug from  Tiki Farm.    I went with the Thurnston Howl  a great drink with a great Vegas mug that has dice for Eyes.    Next time I go there I'll have to get one of the other great mugs.
