Very cool! How great that they kept the original mid-century mosaic front (I assume), and found a perfectly matching typeface and dingbat for the sign. And being "El Tropicano", they can mix any exotic styles they want, even that Mexican or Balinese costume and mask stuff. The bar is a cool mixture of Tiki Modern and European contemporary minimalism. To me, they got right what TV's Las Vegas got wrong. It's good to see that "Tiki light" does not necessarily mean "Tiki wrong".
