Holden previously said he "blocked 100 rooms at $159 per night". Does anyone know if that block of rooms is specifically for TC people, or is it for his vendors and close friends? This kind of sounds like it this may be a mad scramble for Hard Rock rooms, since events like Viva Las Vegas usually have their rooms pre-sold almost a year in advance.

The mondotiki website is built but there are a few last details that are keeping the HR from posting the site. In the meantime, you can book discounted rooms by calling (800) 473-ROCK and be sure to mention "Mondo Tiki"... this is my 1st announcement of the #/code so call asap as the rooms will book-up fast. The room rates are $179 per night, not the $159 promised earlier on by the HR. As far as entry goes into the event, the cost is $20 and can only be paid at the poolside entrance to the event. Your room rate does not include entry into the event.
The event is slated for Noon - 11pm with The Eliminators, Ape! and Cherry Capri/Thurston Howlies providing the live musical entertainment. Between acts, Capitol Records will be on-site spinning Ultra Lounge. Charles Phoenix is debuting his "Retro Hawaiian Holiday Slideshow" which is a part of his God Bless Americana Series on a giant 20'x20' screen. Appleton's is pouring the drinks - there are 3 tiki bars. Top-shelf cocktails are slated at around $5 or $6+ in a plastic tiki tumbler.
The entertainment will culminate in the evening with Hawaiian Hula Dancers & Fire Jugglers.
Also what's cool is that James Teitelbaum will be on site debuting/signing his "Tiki Road Trip" book. Doug Nason will be there with photos from his recent trip to Bali and of course our very own Sven will be there, too. Tiki Central will be represented and I still have to make contact w/Otto to get his nod for attending Mondo.
We're at over 20 vendors and the wares they're exhibiting include such things as...
handpainted tiki mugs
tiki pendants
handmade tiki clocks
tiki t's
carved tikis
women's tiki garments
tiki prints
hand-painted tiki surfboards
aloha shirts
tiki original paintings
Ultra Lounge cd's
temporary tiki tattoos
tiki stickers
... lots more
Also, the HR will be selling commemorative Shag t's and posters plus the event is the official debut of the Shag Mondo Tiki $5 gaming chips & Shag gaming table layouts. We'll be selling a ltd. qty of 600 (2 glazes, 300 per glaze) giant Shag MONDO TIKI MUGS for $35 - limit 1 mug per attendee. Shag will be there to personally sign the hangtags.
I'm heading out of the country on business and after I return, I will be keeping you updated with news, etc. on Mondo.

If you stay at a different Hotel, can you still get in to the MONDO TIKI?
Hard Rock will not take you as a Saturday arrival, it will have to be Friday and Saturday. They also said 179.00/night and not 159.00 as Holden stated, I don't know if the lady was drinking but I wonder...
Also where do you get tickets?
Help!

Here's the first sneak preview. There's quite a bit more that will be added to the site in the next day or 2!

The site's fully-up... www.mondotiki.com ! The Hard Rock advised me that for your $179 room they WILL include FREE entry into the event (normally $20) for 2 adults!!

IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH!! Your $179 per night (2-night min) discounted room rate at the Hard Rock DOES get you free admission into the event for 2 adults ($40 value) as well as 2 ltd. edition HR/Shag commemorative poker chips (1 chip per room guest - 2 chips per room max)!!! In all reality, these chips will likely trade for a minimum of $25+ each as soon as they hit the street! For rooms - call (800) 473-ROCK and mention MONDO TIKI.

I'll be there, as I'll be in Vegas for the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly weekender at the Gold Coast (Thurs.-Sun.). We're staying at the Palms because it's across from the Gold Coast. I would like to ride on the tour bus as well but I would miss too many good acts at the show that night.
We'll probably head over to the Hard Rock around 5, after the car show at the Gold Coast. I'm looking forward to meeting you Ben!
Las Vegas tip: dine at the Golden Steer Steakhouse on Sahara just west of the strip. For a great steak, excellent service, and an old style Western steakhouse atmosphere. We go every year (this year on Thursday night) and wouldn't miss it when in Vegas.

I'll be there for sure. In fact I'll be debuting my new line of tiki tee shirts. Keep an eye out for the Kika Tiki booth.
Looks like were gonna be doin it all over again in a couple of weeks Ben.
