The cover features the Tiki with the nose bone. This Tiki was located near the adjacent Sambos as seen on this postcard (from Flickr). Here is another photo of the front and the sign. This is the first time that I realized the Tropics logo is on the sail of an Outrigger which is also represented on the sign. Not as cool as the one in Palm Springs but very nice. The bar was not very Tiki But it did have quite an array of Bigbro's chunk flower lamps. The room photo - again not much Tiki (but lots of Orange!) DC
