&lt;p&gt;Almost one decade ago, I noted the failure of properties along the Las Vegas Strip to capitalize on the sheer energy of The Strip with outdoor venues. 
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, things have changed starting with Harrah's Carnival Court and went on to &amp;quot;Strip View&amp;quot; nightclubs like Pure nightclub and Mon Ami Gabi restaurant. 
&lt;p&gt;Hawaiian Tropic is now getting into the act with their Hawaiian Tropic Zone restaurant at the new Planet Hollywood (former Aladdin hotel Las Vegas). Restaurateur Dennis Riese (known from Riese Restaurant Group) has put together what just may be one of the biggest draws to tourists walking by. 
&lt;p&gt;This isn't an &amp;quot;outdoor venue&amp;quot; specifically. But it is on The Strip, and once stepping inside you'll fine a multi-tiered dining room (a la Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville at Flamingo Las Vegas), but this one features a two-story waterfall. 
&lt;p&gt;Expect the typical Polynesian food although done with a twist. But, let's face it: Unique food is available everywhere in Las Vegas. What the Hawaiian Tropic Zone is doing to stand out from Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville (and to fit in with the &amp;quot;sexy Las Vegas&amp;quot; the city has become&amp;quot; is to have noted fashion guru Nicole Miller design the fuchsia bikinis and floral sarongs that will adorn the female staff. 
&lt;p&gt;We could go on and on (noting that the restaurant is only closed from 4 AM until 11 AM, has signature cocktails, blah, blah, blah)... but if you are still reading, you probably simply want to see the bikini outfits of the staff. 
&lt;p&gt;We won't make you wait any longer:
