They still seem to be using the Polynesian Room for events.

If you look at the satellite images on Google or Bing Maps you'll see a murky swamp of an abandoned swimming pool hidden between the parking lots and the Polynesian Room. I should see if I can get a look at its present condition this week. In the Bing aerial images it is so full of vegetation it almost looks like a water garden project.

By the way, the matchbook cover above shows the humble but proud profile of the original Naniloa, which was nestled among the coconut palms long before the present towers.
