T'anks Ohana! I've seen those "gutted" thread pics before and I love 'em! Well, the old ones... you know what I mean. The new pics from BigBro are great; mahaloz!

I took a bunch of shots of "stuff" around the interior of the restaraunt last year, and since I don't see any of 'em have ever been posted before, here ya are...

First is/was the main dining room:

There was also a "private party" room that had a bunch of fun stuff in it, alot of which was from Oceanic Arts, and an AWESOME carved ceiling. Here's just a few shots of many that I took:

And lastly, our old pal Mr. PNG Tiki survived the onslaught, but alas, his two pals on the wall did not. At least, I couldn't find 'em this year...

Well, there ya go! Tons of wonderful stuff that is "M.I.A". I know that, according to the "gutted thread", that it's all supposed to be in "storage". But I was witness to the destruction of "Taboo Cove" out here in Vegas, and like "Taboo Cove", I just KNOW that alot of decor went home with the employees. How can I be so sure, you ask? Well, it helps to have a wife that speaks Spanish so you can talk to the Gardeners about what REALLY went on during demolition of The Islands...

So, anymore shots of Luau tiki's and stuff that made it down to the Hanalei? I noticed the remains of the spear wall ended up on a gate just outside the East entrance to lobby building. And naturally, people had broken off several pieces of it. Sad.
