Aku Aku Stardust Casino Las Vegas Tiki Mug | Retro Tropical Barware

Here we have a vintage Ku God tiki mug given out by the Aku Aku Polynesian bar in the Stardust Casino in Las Vegas. This is a neat piece of Polynesian drinkware and a must-have for any tiki bar enthusiast or tiki collector. Made in the 1970s by OMC, this Hawaiian-inspired mug embodies the spirit of the islands. The mug is unglazed tan, with a brown glazed rim. It features the revered Hawaiian god Ku, a prominent figure in Hawaiian mythology. Ku is the god of war and prosperity, embodying strength, fertility, and protection. The Aku Aku tiki bar was open from 1960 to 1980.

Not limited to its use as a piece of drinkware for sipping your favorite rum concoctions and cocktails, this vintage mug can also double as a planter or a pencil holder, adding a touch of island charm to your workspace or plant room. Its mid-century aesthetic make it a fun and versatile piece that stands out in any setting.
