Inspired by the world famous Tiki Ti in Los Angeles, right?
From GTA

Not sure if this is either old hat or doesn't belong in this thread, but has anybody heard of a Facebook game called Nightclub City? Like Farmville, it is surprisingly addictive, and to my absolute delight, they offer lots of tiki decorations! Check out my bar:
(Don't mind those ugly orange tanks next to the bar. They obviously don't go with the decor, but they boost your alcohol!)
I hope to move it to Vegas next, as a tribute to Frankie's!

Zeta,
Inspired not by the world famous Tiki Ti but by the actual Tiki Adult Theater in Los Angeles.... You haven't been yet?

I have some pics to post on it later, but in Dead Rising 2 there is a tiki bar where you can mix up a painkiller for gaining health (unfortunatly the contents of said painkiller is one bottle of beer and a fifth of whisky, so I'm guessing the game programers are not big on drinking).

In Sonic Colors for Wii some cool tiki action pops up inexplicably from time to time (or so it appears to me while I watch my kids play).

From L.A. Noire. The game is a crime thriller that takes place in 1947 Los Angeles.
This is durring a mision when I have to the Bamba Bar to go investigate where a victim was last seen
No Tikis here but a nice looking bar
later I was just cruising the city and came across Hawaii Mini Golf
There were no tikis, only hula girl statues

I didn't take this screenshot. I have the NES version of this game. It's called Life Force on the NES. I guess most of the Gradius series games have moai in them, but Life Force is the only game in the series I own.

Close up of the doorway torches

WOW! I haven't tried looking for Clifton's! Now I gotta hop back on later and go looking for it! The map is pretty HUGE! Sadly I figured they would've put Don the Beachcombers in the Hollywood area but I searched and searched and it was not at the location I'd assume it'd be (Hollywood and McCadden), So that really bummed me out.
