The Mai-Kai is not going anywhere. It will still be there for the next Hukilau. The article, while not the best of press for the Mai-Kai, ran in the back of the physical paper and was not even 'above the fold.' And, it does indeed resemble an elaborate tiki bar and also seats 716 people (more if your friendly). And, for anyone else who looks at the menu and gets the idea that the place is raking in cash hand-over-fist and that the place is therefore a cash-cow worth sueing.... take a look at the staff, the gardens, the location, the electric bill, etc. Yes, the place is profitable, duh, because it is still open. Is the place an easy target for some casual lawsuits, no. Now, everyone go back the bar and order your second round. The Mystery Girl will be out shortly.
