I worked on a four month film shoot in Miami, FL back in 2000 and can honestly say that I found no trace of any leftover Tiki there. I was able to find some old artifacts (matchbooks, postcards, etc.) of Tiki places that are no longer there. It doesn't help you for your trip, but for common knowledge, here's he addresses of the ones I know of:

Club Bali (pre-Tiki – 1940s)
8th St. & Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL

Found this topic while looking for info on the Club Bali. I have a picture of my wife's grandparents at this club circa 1943-44 and it's one of those 6x8 B&W photographs that clubs used to take of the patrons and sell to them. My wife's grandfather is in his U.S. Coast Guard uniform and there are a slew of shot glasses and beer glasses on the table. Everybody's smoking, of course and the Club Bali must have been a "family friendly" place because in the background is a waiter serving what looks to be an at the most, a 12-year-old kid at the table behind my wife's (newlywed) grandparents.
