As animal prints are to fashion, tiki bars are to mixology: never entirely out of style, enjoying a revival every decade or so, sustained by built-in fans and goodwill in the years in between.
And so it is that The Tiki Bar opened Monday at Excalibur, the first-ever tiki bar in the MGM Resorts International portfolio in Las Vegas, according to the company. The new bar taps into the wider resurgence of tiki bars and tiki culture and the desire of today’s customers for a great pour with a chaser of escapism and atmosphere.
“We noticed the fast growth and the revitalization of tiki throughout the world, and we wanted to be part of that,” said James McBride, vice president of food and beverage at Excalibur.
