The Golden Tiki had no sooner introduced itself to Las Vegas than it was already preparing for an expansion. The 4,000 square-foot Chinatown cocktail bar recently acquired an adjacent 2,500 square feet, slated to open to the public in mid-October, just three months after Golden Tiki’s first anniversary.

The new space will include a larger stage for acts—“bands that normally wouldn’t stop here,” managing partner Branden Powers says—and be called Cyclops Burial Grounds (aka CBG, a nod to a famously acronymed NYC bar of yesteryear). Other additions will include dedicated mead and mai tai bars, more retail space, a food menu, a Ziggy Stardust likeness arranged among the ceiling stars above the existing main bar, and “fowl”-mouthed animatronic birds. An enchanted tiki room, Vegas-style.
