And last time I checked it was 2008. And because we all LOVE the well thought out, inspired architecture and design of today, we congregate here, to UPDATE all the ugliness of the past, right? Don't try to pigeon-hole me into that backwards corner, Ben, my bottom line is if it is done right and with an understanding of the style, a modern Tiki Bar CAN be great. And from all I can tell so far, this new Vegas place looks like it got it right...probably in part due to your help. That mug thing is a question of how far everyone's individual definitions of good/bad taste reach. I think it's a funny concept. After me and Otto met Florian Gabriel he was inspired to draw a similarly racy mug design for Otto. The difference is that that one never saw the light of day, some would say that was for the better, some not.
