Sorry I'm a bit late to this party, but YES the Tarantula Bowl from the Omaha Hawaiian Room did exist! Here are photo enlargements from my Town House postcard, which feature a bartender in the Hawaiian Room holding the Tarantula Bowl. That being said, it could be VERY difficult if not impossible to find, as three years after the Hawaiian Room was re-themed, the entire motor lodge was destroyed by a Category 5 tornado (1975). So unless someone made off with those bowls prior to May 1972, we'll likely never see one.P5300008P5300006P5300005
