I hope no one out there is thinking that this means they want to sit out of Oasis as protest. That would only hurt Oasis and Otto -- it doesn't hurt the hotel if people don't book for Oasis, it only hurts Otto, as he's on the line for those rooms. Otto has booked all the rooms, and he's paying for them one way or another.

Aside from all that, the hotel is simply still a great venue for Oasis, even with this huge loss. There are still amazing artifacts on the grounds, especially in the Atrium area in the hotel's tower.

If you want to contact the hotel (again -- likely a lost cause, but what the hey), consider letting them know that you'll be there at Oasis, that you enjoy the hotel outside of Oasis because of its tiki history, and you would like to see as much of that history remain as possible. At this point, the Islands is a lost cause, but the future of the items they've taken down, and the future of the other tiki things still there, is not.
