Summary

When the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, Hawaii, was first created in 1963, attendance was so low some days that the employees would go out to the road to recruit people to come watch them perform. Today, the center has had more than 37 million visitors and is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Hawaii.

When are they going to serve alchohol? I was on vacation a bought the tickets and took the long bus ride, only to find out no caffine or beer... What a disapointment, I think the hotels need to put the disclaimer the it is mormon owned.

Does the word "Never" ring a bell? Surely with the talent involved in the show, you can make it until you return to your hotel. When will the Amish get telephones? Enjoy the moment and quit caviling.

My non-LDS parents went there on a trip to Hawaii. They loved it. Both drank socially but neither ever mentioned a lack of alcohol.
