If anyone had tried Venus, this closing is not a great loss to the tiki bars remaining across the country. While the bar itself was nicely done, this was trying to be a mega-lounge, and had hip hop blaring so loud the one time I visited I could hardly wait to leave. Outside of the bar, the rest of this "tiki lounge" as it billed itself, looked more like a poorly furnished disco (they would have said it was "retro"). For the true tiki bars in left, this did the name a disservice, and I am pleased to report on its closure. Now, what Las Vegas really needs is a well done tiki bar - the closest we have is Margaritaville.
