How Vic came to Las Vegas
(quote)
Although inspired by Trader Vic’s famed tropical island motif, Trader Vic’s Las Vegas will build upon the signature Polynesian décor of towering wooden tikis and amplify the tropical theme with two separate DJ booths, a 20-foot outdoor bar and lanai surrounded by palms, thatch, a sweeping shingled roof, and an upstairs Tiki Club-ultra lounge.

“Part of the magic of Trader Vic’s is its ability to temporarily transport our customers to far distant and imaginary shores,” said Bill Tremper, Vice President of Operations of DW Enterprises. “If you’re visiting Las Vegas you can take a vacation within a vacation and indulge upon the food, service, escapist ambience that is uniquely Trader Vic’s,” Tremper added.

Am I missing something here? I know I’m a fanatic and all. But I do feel there is a Trader Vic ethos that was ignored here. Come on Doc, Trader Vic’s isn’t another Coyote Ugly club is it? (Well it is ugly that’s true) But you know what I mean don’t you?.
You might try getting some artifacts from the California TV warehouse before TV Chicago cleans it out for their traditional Trader Vic’s they are opening soon.

We will be visiting your place next month, see you then.
