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! Anyone out there want to split a room when/if they have a grand opening? It sucks, but I'm on a budget. The gravy trained done circled it's wagons fer a spell. Thank the gods for skymiles! Sorry if i missed it earlier, I read the whole thread.... Has a date been set? Can you give us a ballpark? Will there be a Grand Opening Party? Do you need a Professional Photographer covering the grand opening? Can you tell I'm excited? Are you tired of these questions?
