Aku Aku, owned by Todd Ulmer, opened at the beginning of 2014 and is a sister property of the downstairs mid-century-themed Stardust Lounge. Aku Aku's name is a nod to the relationship between Las Vegas' Stardust Casino and its Aku Aku. The Stardust Lounge began in 2008 and more recently abbreviated its name to "The Dust".

Aku Aku's back bar wall is one large shelving unit full of rectangular cubbies of varying dimensions, filled with little bits of Polynesian Pop decor. A large Moai overlooks the room from a corner. A small selection of classic tropical drinks are available, as well as a few originals, and also a mocktails selection.

The bar heavily touts its own original cocktail, the "Tiger Fucker", despite not listing it on its menu. Don’t let the fact that there’s no rum in this one dissuade you from trying it out. The combo of vodka and Aku Aku’s own homemade jalapeno blueberry syrup is not to be missed.
