Mrs.Pug, Futura Girl and myself met there for dinner a couple of weeks ago. We ate at the italian restuarant Cafe Capri. It is right on the strip. The service was poor, but the food was really good. Our overall opinion of the Marketplace is disappointment. The architecture is visually pleasing: from the red & white canopys to the pineapple lamps connected by leis. The choice of stores are a joke. It is the same crap you can see anywhere in Vegas. So far there is only one store with Hawaiian type stuff, and even that store isn't that amazing. There is a kiosk called Maui Wow-ee Gifts. I thought that would have some Hawaiian/Tiki/Polynesian items. But NO!! Maui Wow-ee Gifts sells Hustler and Von Dutch t-shirts. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I think of Maui, I think of Larry Flynt. The only saving grace is that only about 60% of the stores are open. Maybe the remaining 40% will redeem the Marketplace. Just my 2 coconuts worth. Vegas BABY! [ Edited by: TikiPug on 2004-06-14 09:38 ]
