They DO make Trader Vic's Mai Tais properly, and in Trader Vics glassware (or at least they did at the press event I attended last year) - but that isn't enough to lure even me down there. As reported elsewhere, the Caray's management claim that the new Vic's will NOT feel AT ALL like Caray's and will be true to the Vic's vibe 100%. Or so we're told.
