B bananabobs Member Joined: Feb 16, 2003 Posts: 824	B bananabobs Posted posted on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 6:31 AM Tuna Tiki showed me some pictures... We will not be able to call Crazy Al, "crazy" any more; his latest work is INSANE Tuna TiKi didn't want any pictures to get "leaked" so he tore them up after showing me. But I was able to get a portion of Al's Tiki. I put my foot over a scrap and slid it under a table, then spilled my drink on purpose, making a big deal that "I" would clean it up, then slid the scrap into my pocket, got it home, scanned it and here it is! (Hey all fair in Love of TiKi Bars, eh?) Isn't that INSANE? From what I saw, this is beyond anyone's imagination. A TiKi Bar beyond all TiKi Bars. Hey Sven may even like it!
TT Tuna Tiki Grand Member (1 year) Northridge Ca Joined: Nov 11, 2008 Posts: 74	TT Tuna Tiki Posted posted on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 8:05 AM Ok Banana man, no pics for you one week. Hey guys, this place is incredible. It was truly a honor to be able to add a small part to it. Rumshaker, Chris and Moss have put together a team of world class craftsmen to build a tiki room the likes of which have never been seen before. Beside being like the coolest guy in the world, Bamboo Ben has really out done himself on this place. I know Chris has busted his ass to make the place come together and done a great job. Our beloved Rumshaker, you remember her from Tiki Oasis wink wink, has been hard at work coming up new original drinks for all to enjoy. She told me she pick out all the shirts the staff will be wearing yesterday. Vintage hawaiian, each one diffrent. She has been running around taking care of alot of the little details that need attending to while hold down a full time job. I don't know how she does it all. And of course none of this would be possible without Moss the great one. See ya all on the 4th.

But not together! Stayed at the Stratosphere on a business trip. My company goes first class all the way, so the $40 rooms were ideal for our elite travel needs. The rooms are forgettable - at least for me they were, because I have forgotten any details about mine. Just a regular hotel, but that might be a good thing in contrast to hotel rooms that are memorable in the not so good way. My co-worker said the Internet was finicky for her. And I'm quite certain there was no mint on the pillow (at least it didn't look like a mint to me). Looking forward to seeing Frankie's sometime on a future Vegas stop for work or play. Sounds like the most! The Double Down has a good pedigree tastewise, so it's neat to hear it's the same owner. -Randy

M mieko Member San Diego Joined: May 01, 2006 Posts: 532	M mieko Posted posted on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 5:52 PM The Stratosphere is a pretty good place to stay, and rates like $36, you'll be happy. Haven't stayed there in a few years, but last time I was there they had some cheaper rooms and some nicer ones, but the only difference was newer furniture. I love staying downtown, with Main Street Station or Golden Nugget being my two favorites. If you're looking for fun reviews of all the hotels, check out cheapovegas.com. I have some stuff planned for the weekend of the 4th... but I'm starting to think about canceling those plans for a road trip! Is everything still on schedule?

They said that there won't be any live music there... In fact, they said that the place is on the smaller side and wouldn't fit a band. It doesn't look small from the pictures... What do you think?
