I'm saddened to report that as of a couple of months ago, the last traces of Polynesian World have officially been stripped unfortunately. India Palace moved down the road to new digs and the hotel scrapped everything left.

As soon as I heard they were moving, I made a couple of attempts through e-mail to talk to someone about what they were going to do to the space to no avail. About a month after that, I seen a couple of overhead tiki light fixtures pop up on Craigslist that I totally recognized as being from there. Unfortunately, they were asking a bit much and they were certainly not my first choices of decor so I moved on. about another month went by and I heard the new India Palace was opening so I contacted the Craigslist seller to see if he had others that he hadn't listed. He responded back that he didn't and that the few he HAD listed were also gone.

So I called the hotel to see if I could work out a deal for salvage. Management actually called me back and told me it was all stripped and thrown in a huge dumpster and had they knew I was interested a week prior, they would've just let me come and take whatever I wanted. So sad!
