I love how visual treasure troves such as this are still unearthed. The Kon Tiki entrance is pretty amazing, so much stuff crammed in there, and one can even see the entrance hut's interior, which was moved to and still lives on at the Alibi in Portland. The entrance hut concept was (like much else for his Kon Tiki chain) taken from Steve Cranes Luau in Beverly Hills (from which its actual hut was later transported to the Hanalei Hotel tower courtyard) The Luau Beverly Hills menu illustration Hanalei Tower courtyard Close up of Luau hut in Hanalei courtyard In case you are staying there for Oasis right now: It's not there anymore :( [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2013-08-18 10:33 ]
