I was under the impression that the Thorton's built in Ft. Lauderdale based on the Tiki over saturation in San Diego. The Bum wrote in "Sippin' Safari"..."The brother's location of choice was San Diego, but that city already had the Luau Room at the Hotel Del Coronado and the Bali Hai on Shelter Island."

Not sure if it was literally the Bali Hai at that time. :-?
