Any tiki in the Californian in Vegas? - General Tiki

There are some nice tropical carpets and I think a mural in one place, but I didn't see anything tiki. Maybe Hawaiian themes aren't exotic for Hawaiians. In other words, for a mainlander it's fun to "escape" to a polynesian atmosphere, but maybe when an islander travels, it's more interesting to experience other styles. Maybe not. I think the California does have some "local style" food though - pulled pork and stuff. -Randy
