That's the same mug I have, although mine is from the Vegas Kahunaville (courtesy of TikiBird - mahalo!). It may be just that the photo makes it look a little washed out, but the colors on mine are much more vivid. The browns & greens are very rich, and the lava is almost flourescent. And it says "Kahunaville" around the rim, in the lava.

The Peppermill is a resto/lounge just up the Strip from Kahunaville that has been discussed in many Vegas-based threads. Here's a good description (courtesy of Woofmutt):
"Somewhat across from the Stardust at 2958 Las Vegas Blvd S is the Peppermill restaurant. Its Fireside Lounge (mentioned here before) is very cool. Inside it's like late 1979 with low backed deep red velvet-esque booths, lots of brass trim, mirrored walls, fake trees, and dim light. The focal point of the lounge is a round aqua pool of bubbling water with flames. There's seating around the fire water and with the bubbling noise and sunken pit design it sort of feels like sitting in a dry hot tub. The waitresses all wear full length black gowns split up to the thigh and they sit down with you to take your order. The drinks are mostly tropical, large and well garnished, fairly good and seemingly completely lacking in alcohol (this was from a sample of 5 different drinks on two different nights)."

It's a great place and I've been there a number of times, but it somehow doesn't seem like the kind of place that would actually have one of these mugs.

Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, Kahunaville also has an over-sized palm tree shaped mug that was pretty cool, and their frosted pint tumblers are excellent!
