If you travel a little more inland you'll go right through Atlanta. The TV there is a throw back to the 70's (and in a Hilton!) so you can overnight. It'd be 22 hours (11 to ATL then 11 more to FtL, instead of 19 hours).
And you'll get to see the magical elevator button.
There's a thread with more here: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=38830&forum=4&hilite=atlanta
There's also a Twin Peaks themed bar with a Dr Jacoby tiki bar: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=34261&forum=2&hilite=atlanta
and this craziness: http://www.dantesdownthehatch.com/
and of course the Varsity: http://www.thevarsity.com/

Now that I've brought all that up, let me say...BUT every minute you spend getting down there is one less minute you'll spend at the Mai Kai!
