There, I feel better. I did score a nice Tonga Room split coconut mug. Something I have been trying to get ever since I saw Tiki Hula's. A good price until one factors in the cab rides. There are some decent stores for Tiki stuff in Vegas. Of course, it is all stuff from bars NOT in Vegas. There is a wave of "Hawaiiana" taking over many of the stores in the reatrail malls attached to the bigger Strip resorts. I even found Trader Pang's Maoi mugs at a Hilo Hattie at the Aladdin. Vintage mugs going for $3.99 while they sell new low quality stuff for dolars more. midnite
