I recently acquired an old brochure from the Stardust in Las Vegas that had a wonderful artist's-rendering of the interior of the Aku-Aku. I wanted to share it with the group, since so many of you own the various mugs that were unique to this place, but like me, might have always wondered what it looked like.

I'll start though, with a photographic postcard of the exterior, showing the famous giant stone Moai and one of my favorite Tiki Signs of all time.

Here's an artist's rendering of the complex, showing the Aku Aku to the left of the Stardust, with three large moai out front.

Here's the view of the interior of the Aku Aku. Did the artist idealize the place or was it really this cool?

And a a view of the Neptune Dining Room, which also has a nice tropical feel to it.

Did anyone here ever visit the Aku Aku before it was torn down? I'd really be interested in hearing what it was like.
