I was just there last week. Met one of the servers (dj) on the Trop ave bus heading back to the strip...noticed his TV attire & struck up a nice conversation with him. Good guy.

Everyone at TVs were good people.

Yeah, its gaudy vegas, but its got two 40 FOOT tikis in the main room!! And the two that guard the entrance. Not 'tiki' enough for ya huh?

TV-Vegas is doing what it HAS TO DO to SURVIVE in vegas. (Taboo Cove is an excellent example....decor out the ying yang w/ horrible drinks---and they tanked!)

We make up what? .00000000001% of the Vegas clientel? and they should cater to us!??!?! how humble of us.

You want traditional decor? Build a home bar!

You want GOOD cocktails & food on the strip, hit Vics.

I for one am glad its there. Its better than anything else on the strip.

If you want it to change, help it. Got an old TV kava bowl? Bring it with ya....donate it...have em put it on the shelf...go around the corner to Hilo's & buy em a tiki to put behind the bar.

The guys in Ohio have almost recreated the Kahiki doing this!!

We try to help the bars that have lost their way in NE by doing the same thing.

Now quit yer bitchin' and support these guys!!

My head is spinning. Oh god. Someone who understands that for a "tiki" establishment to be around it has to make money and to do that, it CANNOT be built to appeal solely to the users of TikiCentral.com.

Bargoyle's got the right idea folks.
