"Although inspired by Trader Vic’s famed tropical island motif, Trader Vic’s Las Vegas will build upon the signature Polynesian décor of towering wooden tikis and amplify the tropical theme with two separate DJ booths, a 20-foot outdoor bar and lanai surrounded by palms, thatch, a sweeping shingled roof, and an upstairs Tiki Club-ultra lounge."

I get this creepy feeling that TVegas managenent wanted to do it right, tried to do it right, put a lot of moolah into the project, even hired an old-school guy to oversee opening operations,

but -

the design company, the ones who were actually contracted to do the facelift, DIDN'T GET IT! They just built another chrome lounge.

And upstairs - isn't the whole 'ultra-lounge' concept based on sampled 50s and 60s original lounge music? Mix bands like Thievery Corporation, etc.? Cause that stuff can sound pretty good; it isn't really techno. It's actually a perfect mix for TVegas, if its done right...
