I appreciate the two responses above, and I thank you for taking the time to jot your thoughts down. Responding to Mattio: Yes, I realize people are out to make money...this is the unfortunate necessity of our world-the need to make money. This is why we have TV commericals, and TV commercials are why my mute button and I are very close. At any rate, time goes on and things change; for the better? Yeah, sometimes. My little rant on this forum was to simply point out that if you're striving to capture some of the past, don't just let money rule you, let your soul get in on the game, too. And it's that simple, these places lacked the soul that they try/tried to emmulate. I don't live in the past and don't expect things to be like they were 50 years ago..not at all. Just saying they missed the boat. And Mattio you're right, most people probably don't come to Vegas looking for a Tiki Bar. But wouldn't it be refreshing to find a place there that would give you a glimpse into the past, a time when there was a lot more soul?? A time when people talked about more than sports and microbrews. I think the younger generation would appreciate it, hence the current lounge/swing revival. And again, this is all trivial in the grand scheme of things. For those of you who are kindred spirits and know where I'm coming from, feel free to post many responses. If you've missed the boat here, let me know, for your next beer at Hooters is on me. Hmmm, Brittney or Christina??? Oh the choices!! Remember folks, this is all in fun.
