Posted by Unknown Monday, October 10, 2011 1 comments

Ia Orana ALL! Life has thrown me a curve or two in the past month, so I am slightly delayed with the Participant Packet for Heiva I Honolulu 2012.


With the new additions to the Overall and additional awards, we want to be sure the Rules & Regulations for the Overall and additional award categories assist in accomplishing our Mission. Thank you for your patience. Many of you have sent me your email addresses for a copy of the Packet once completed. For those that have not been able to contact me, please feel free to do so or come back to the website once an update has posted.

REMINDER - This Heiva is our 10th Annual Celebration Event. We have added a participant social to be held at a local hotel in Waikiki March 14, 2012. It will be an event to meet everyone, pick up registration materials, and be social.

If you haven't yet signed to follow our blog, do so today!

See you all soon!

Heiva I Las Vegas - GOLDEN NUGGET HOTEL

Posted by Unknown Thursday, July 21, 2011 0 comments


The Golden Nugget Hotel is Tahiti Nui International's Heiva I Las Vegas host hotel!

The reservation process was simple. I called in, mentioned the event group and was quoted rates for the dates I needed. As I had stayed in the hotel earlier this year, I knew quality was not an issue, nor safety.

I booked my room for five nights over the event period and upgraded myself to the Gold Tower and added on VIP service. I like to think I'm special. ;D

During my previous visit to the Golden Nugget, I was impressed with guest rooms as well as the number of security and staff there was to accommodate guests in all areas of the hotel. They have one of the best steak houses in Las Vegas in the hotel. There is also an awesome shark tank adjacent to the pool with a slide that was entertaining and fun at the same time. I look forward to my next stay, although much of my stay will be about planning, organizing, and working the Heiva I Las Vegas event.

All Tahiti Nui International staff will be at the Golden Nugget. Should you have any questions while in Las Vegas during the event you can find us there or at the venue during the event. See you all there! BOOK YOUR HOTEL TODAY!

“Heiva I Honolulu 2012” will be our 10-year anniversary. This anniversary will be a celebration like no other. We encourage groups and individuals to prepare for “Heiva I Honoulu” March 2012. We will be adding additional awards, as well as opening up new dance categories and divisions.
