Speaking of Vegas, I've read about a new "tropical paradise" restaurant called Kahunaville at the Treasure Island. Anyone been? Any tiki life to be found? Here's a short review.

"Kahunaville at Treasure Island offers an incredible array of fresh coastal cuisine creatively prepared in a hip, upscale atmosphere. You'll find Jamaican jerk chicken satays, crab cakes, Hawaiian pork tenderloin and herb-crusted haddock-all delicately prepared. And you'll think you're on Temptation Island when you see
fried cheesecake and chocolate fondue being served for dessert.

The bustling restaurant combines open kitchens and friendly service with top-quality food at affordable prices. Kahunaville has also been designed to provide a lively bar experience. Along with fantastic drinks, particularly the signature mai tais, you can enjoy energetic crowds and entertainment. Kahunaville showcases magical dancing fountains and performances from servers nightly.

The illusion of the tropics starts at the entrance, which is found under several gigantic palm leaves and exotic flowers. This leads into the brightly colored bar and restaurant-and the sensation of
docking on a tropical island is complete with a view of Treasure Island's pool area."

Sounds intriguing.

One more thing -- I know this is not strictly tiki, but I also know a lot of have an interest in anything "space-age-bachelor-pad," so -- anyone been to Baby's at the Hard Rock. Supposed to resemble a fictional James Bond pad circa 1965 meets the set of "Logan's Run." Reviews? The guys who opened it own a truly swank 60s-style Chinese-themed bar in LA called The Good Luck Bar.
