Man, I hope this is open by Christmas like Ben says. I will be in Vegas Dec.29th - Jan 2. I would be a major letdown if it wasn't! I had two vacations in Vegas before Trader Vics opened; each time I was there it was supposed to be open for business, but wasn't because of delays. Considering the reviews of TVLV, it wasn't a loss. But still, new tiki... |

My bags are by the front door waiting, ANY excuse to get to Vegas Baby! So disappointed by "Traitor Vics" I had given up on Tiki in Vegas, although I don't have anything bad to say about Mickie Finnz. I was lucky enough to catch it on the right night last time. But I realize It's Touristy and all that but I like all flavors of cheeze! I can't wait! Sorry if i missed it earlier, I read the whole thread.... Has a date been set? |
