It's the Aku Aku that was at the Stardust until sometime in the early to mid 90s I believe. Gaww-lly, I didn't know that - the Aku Aku on film! And didn't catch the Peppermill scenes that people referred to either. Sheesus, I should watch that again, only looking at the scenery more this time. Usually I think the "downfall of the hero" or "man's inhumanity" type movies are too depressing, but cool scenery is a color of a different horse. Maybe that pool with windows is the "glass something" Motel south of the strip near the airport. Futura Girl probably knows. -Randy
