It also strikes me as an end of an era as it is the last and best example of an original hotel tiki mecca fading away. We have seen so many others fall by the wayside: Venus @ Venetian; Trader Vics @ the Plaza; and Trader Vic's at the Beverly Hilton, just to name a few. I hate to see this glorious era end.
