There was one at the Venetian a few yrs back that was pretty darn good. A new pub is opening in Vegas called Tahiti Joes but it really looks like it is missing somthing. www.tahitijoeslasvegas.com
I would die to have a Tiki Bar like Tiki Ti's in Los Angeles. http://www.critiki.com/cgi-bin/location.cgi?loc_id=93
When I was a kid, I love the Royal Hawaiian in Laguna Beach, but it absoulutely sucks now. They ruined it and made it an upscale clubby type place.:mad:
There is nothing like a good Mai Tai in a dark, tiki filled bar.
Anyone else into tiki lounges or tiki stuff in general. My collection is taking over the house...LOL>

I live in boulder city and i know what you mean about no tiki bar in Vegas. Vegas has everything but a tiki bar. where do you buy all your tiki stuff for your house?

I have bought tikis from all over. Everytime we are anywhere and I see one I don't have, I buy it. Cups, mugs, wood carvings, candles, you name it. I am also into Shag artwork as well.
The best Tiki I own is about 4 feet tall. It was given as a gift to me from my parents about 6 yrs ago. It was carved by the same guy who did all the original carvings for the Tiki Tiki Room in Disney Land for me.

We met 'shag' at a neighbors party a couple weeks ago. He's a really nice guy. :)

John, once the weather cools off you should through a Tiki party.. Everyone has to come dressed "Hawaiian" and bring a Tiki torch to burn.:idea:

We have been thinking of throwing a party of some sort. We have tiki torches in the back yard already.;)

We'll need a room because I don't want to be swerving on my way across town. :D
