I am sorry, and apologize to the Vegas residents on this board, but to me, the new Mega Vegas is a hell hole of mass consumption. It is American consumer culture ad absurdum, the place where themeing and branding has gone insane, and content and concept have lost all meaning except for being buzzwords, and even a logo like Trader Vic's is just a drop in the bucket of a nauseating stew. Well... let's hope the interior of Trader Vics and the lanai will be true tiki.
