For example, we lost Trader Vics and I think I am the only person who likes Trader Vics Lounge. In Las Vegas, we lost Taboo Cove, and the Stardust's Moai has been stranded on an island since the close of the Aku Aku. Now, if the Mai Kai property owners decide to raze that tiki mecca to build a hotel, we will still be saying "it is a new beginning?"
