Think the Boulder Junction Grill is the old building?

I believe you may be right about that. The building in the ads looks close enough, and any remodeling over the years may have cut back the Polynesian-style overhangs to look like the current version. Unfortunately the drawing itself is not very clear. It is also easy to picture the mounted animal & waterfall display as a former tropical grotto. I haven't seen any pre-1962 or post-1962 information on the Bali Hai yet.

Good to finally figure out where these menu's on Arkiva Tropika came from. There was no address listed on them and I had always wondered about the location.

And a drink coaster for good measure.
