I was in Vegas last October to see the Desert Inn implosion, and had heard about a tiki lounge at the Venetian. The last tiki lounge I had heard of was at the Stardust, I think it was called Aku Aku and closed maybe in 1980?? When I was there they had a great band playing swing music, and a lot of Sinatra and Dean Martin. I thought I was in heaven. The drinks were pricey, but I really didn't care. I spent several hours there enjoying the music and being transported back into a time that I can only dream about. I was sorry to find out that that the format had changed when I was there this past April. Too bad...
