This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” I sit down with world-renowned bartender Scotty Schuder, the creative force behind Paris’ legendary Dirty Dick tiki bar. Scotty is bringing his globally celebrated cocktails to Petite Bohème for a one-night-only takeover, Thursday, October 2. In our conversation, Scotty dives into the rich history of tiki culture—from its 1934 origins with Don the Beachcomber, through its decline, and into today’s vibrant neo-Tiki revival. He shares how his own journey began here in Las Vegas, the city where he first fell in love with tiki, before spending 27 years in Paris and eventually opening Dirty Dick—a bar designed to welcome everyone. We talk about his deep Las Vegas family roots, his collaboration with Petite Bohème’s Bar Manager Jonah Gibbs, and the magic of tiki: homemade ingredients, fresh juices, premium spirits, and pure escapism. Scotty is joined by Mickey, who helped launch Dirty Dick, as they reveal how recipes are remembered, why tiki resonates so deeply, and what makes this cocktail culture such an unforgettable experience.
