Presented by Mike Skinner

The golden age of Tiki faded like a postcard left in the sun, but America’s love for escapism never left — it just put on a sombrero. Adiós Tiki explores how Colorado’s Casa Bonita carried on the Mai-Kai’s tradition of over-the-top fantasy, while Acapulco redefined jet-set glamour for a new generation of escapists south of the border. Grab your passport; paradise didn’t end — it just learned Spanish!
