Hey Everybody, first I have to say that this message is long overdue.

Back in December my fiancée (now wife) and I decided to go to Vegas to get married, and while we were there she suggested that there might be some fun Tiki stuff to check out, so I scanned this forum extensively for Tiki things to do in Vegas. I'm a Tiki novice, so it really helped! We made it to Tiki Lee's, Cheeseburger and Frankie's Tiki Room. We had a blast and I came back with a few souvenirs and a much greater thirst for Tiki. I've since started carving little Tikis in wine corks, reading books about the South Seas, and even mastered my first drink from the Grog Log - the Noa Noa (although I sometimes substitute Agave syrup for the brown sugar for health reasons, which still works for me!).

Anyway my goal was to post some pictures here a while back, but instead, getting back to the topic of this post.. I'm a guitarist who loves Exotica music, and although this video doesn't feature Exotica in any way, shape or form, it DOES feature what I hope to be some pretty good guitar playing AND some of my Vegas scores in the background. Behind me on the dresser you can see a Cheeseburger Tiki (sitting on top of the Book of Tiki), a Frankie's Tiki Bandit, and another Tiki mug from Tiki Lee's with some of those cool pens he has stuck in there as well. I'm not sure how well this all translates in the video, but I think my friends behind me helped me to play better in this guitar competition video.

Thanks again to all the Tiki experts here for helping us make our Vegas trip so fun, and I hope you enjoy the video!
