This place is fantastic! Have been to other tiki bars in town and they just can't compare to Frankie's. Firstly, their drinks are tough to beat- great tiki drink repertoire, all with a helpful skull measuring system to help you decide how wrecked you'd like to be (the more skulls, the more alcohol... so more of a chance you'll be calling an uber!!). I tend to like strong, tart drinks whereas my roommate likes the sweeter, fruitier options. I usually go for the Kapu I'a, the Nakalele Knockout or the Tonga Reefer; my roommate usually goes for the Kahiki Kai or the Malekula. Secondly,…Read more This place is fantastic!

Secondly, the atmosphere here is hard to replicate- it's got this smoky, old Vegas vibe that I love mixed with some kitschy weirdness that immediately puts you at ease. Overall, I always recommend Frankie's to people looking for something fun and different! :)

I always have to come to this buffet at least once when I'm in Vegas because it never has let me down whether I'm going in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Offers a Italian, Mexican, Asian, Middle Eastern, Seafood, Carving Station and probably THE BEST dessert section! The nice lady working at  the dessert section named NATALIA made the best banana and Nutella crepes I've ever had and her customer service was above and beyond whereas the table servers seemed to have a bit of an attitude. Make sure to get small portions so you have room to try all good meals they have to offer.

Ending up here due to all major casinos on the strip had over 2 hour waits.  

This place tries very hard for a 4 star rating and comes very close.   Here are the issues.  

1.  No crab legs.  Have not had them at this buffet for over 4 years.   Bring them back!  Crab legs are a buffet staple.  

2.  Salty.  Lots of great flavors going on, but many of the dishes are too salty.  

The selection is decent.  Enough for a variety of palates.   The service was great.  Quick to clear plates at your table.  

Overall, this place is more than decent.   It saved our group long waits, so for that I was…Read more Ending up here due to all major casinos on the strip had over 2 hour waits.
