I worked on a four month film shoot in Miami, FL back in 2000 and can honestly say that I found no trace of any leftover Tiki there. I was able to find some old artifacts (matchbooks, postcards, etc.) of Tiki places that are no longer there. It doesn't help you for your trip, but for common knowledge, here's he addresses of the ones I know of:

Club Bali (pre-Tiki – 1940s)
8th St. & Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL

The Beachcomber Resort Motel
189th St.
Miami, FL

Hawaiian Isle
Miami, FL

The 600 Club
600 N.E. 13th St.
Miami, FL

The Tahiti Bar
4-23rd St.
Miami, FL

While you're in Miami, I second the recommendation for you to drive up about 45 minutes to Ft. Lauderdale and visit the Mai Kai. It is the best surviving Tiki bar in America, bar NONE!
