I seem to remember a press release a year or so back, in which the "cheesy" tiki asthetic was disparaged, in favor of a scrubbed-clean, offensive to no one, Polynesian Paradise look? The fishing float lamps and tapa patterns are still there, but I get the feeling that actual Tikis cross some sort of PC line? Just trying to think like a publicist here. They still have plenty of them in the Enchanted Tiki Room, of course, but they're relegated to 2D hall art at the Resort, is the impression I get.
