Ahh, I dunno. As someone who lives here, the hotel is tiki enough but the bar is dead as a door nail.
Lucas, evolution is a fact of life. That said, what would tiki look like now had it not been erased from the fossil record during the 80's and 90's. What would a young Steven Crane build today if he were around to build something?
Where does DTB in Sunset fit in? Where does Tiki Ti fit in and where does someplace like Tiki No fit in.
If Bosko and Jeff Berry were going to build a restaurant today, what would it look like?
I think the drinks might very well include traditional drinks, but you would also see a lot of fusion happening as well. The art work would be very much more 21st century primitive rather than post primitive. Remember, you are building a place for the masses and that this is a good thing.
Weirdly enough, Jimmy Buffet's place in Las Vegas attracts people for a reason - it has a vibe to it.
So, Lucas, and everyone else, what would a young Steven Crane or the owners of the Mai Kai build today if they were here to do so?
