Agreed that its not nearly as cool as say Atlanta.

It is 100% a lounge. Not a traditional tiki bar.

The ulta-lounge is what's hot in Vegas right now....

Although Bargoyle is dead on accurate with ultra lounges.....It's just a buji way of saying $500 for a bottle of Grey Goose Vodka and a six pack of redbulls tableside. I hope TV does not offer this like all of the other mega ultra lounges in the city!
I do have to argue that Trader Vic's reputation was not only that of their mai tais and decent cuisine, but their enviroment was also a key factor. The feeling of "Escapism" had alot to do with their success. Leaving the busy streets of the world behind as you walked into Vic's, and it was like you were almost carried away on a vacation for your brief couple of hours visit. If the Vegas TV went to brass and glass and white walls, I'll be the first to say that I'll pass on visiting to eat and spend my food money at the Silverton, which has an awesome asian/american buffet(thaz rye, i said BUFFET) that includes a couple of polynesian styled dishes including kalbi and korean bbq beef for slightly under $12. Did I mention it was really tasty and packed with nutrition? :lol:
