He said he thought most of the Vic's-specific decor has been removed, but he wasn't sure. Might be worth a look if someone is in the area. I'm working on a broader story for my blog that goes into detail about this aborted concept plus the recent history of Trader Vic's franchise snafus. More to come. Also note that one of the photos posted on that link above appears to be the interior of a different Trader Vic's .... can anyone identify it?
