Bravo Sabu, you solved the Don The Beachcomber Vacation Village mystery - it did exist!

You are right about the West Lafayette location being in Indiana, here is a matchbook I have listing it.

I updated the list on page 1 to reflect these developments.

Here are a few cool photos of a luau being held in Donn Beach's backyard at his house in Encino. I copied them from an outdoor cookbook my friend bought at an antique store. You can see some tikis by the thatched hut.
