Live in the outskirts of beautiful Las Vegas where I am putting the finishing touches on my home Tiki Lounge and wanted to post some pics to get some input from anyone for some final details. The Kickback title I thought appropriate for two reasons: 1.Relaxing and enjoying drinks with friends. 2.The Aladdin Casino room sign which, if you look into the properties history from the 60's thru the 90's management faced many accusations of questionable monetary transactions. Vegas and the good old days!!! I also wanted to share an interesting story behind the Witco Bar and how I acquired it. My neighbor from ten years ago was hanging out with me one afternoon and told me that his wife told him he had to get rid of his bar that he had purchased many years ago, because she was on him about a drinking problem(which I feel he did not). So he asked me if I wanted it and ended up selling it to me for $100. When he showed it to me originally I had no idea of the significance of it's history and value until just a few years ago when I came across another Witco bar set that was listed for $4,500 in a private sale. Since I do a lot of woodworking I fell in love with it when I first saw it in his house.

Had to have the original black leather stool tops reupholstered.

Sliding doors open to the pool out back.
All materials from awesome Oceanic Arts in Whittier California

Bamboo chairs and table from craigslist
Aladdin - I wonder how many people stayed in those rooms over the years?

Traded a wood bookcase for this tiki when I delivered it to a buyers home

Just a couple of Las Vegas Stardust Aku Aku items I collected over the years
If in town come visit for a Mai Tai!!!
