I went to Taboo Cove in late August. It was hard to find and the staff of the Venetian hotel either told me it had closed or that I was confusing it with the hotel disco called the V Bar. I just walked around the place until I found it. Anyhow, Im from Penna where Im starved for TIKI stuff, so I thought the Cove was terrific! The music was horrible so I demanded that they play something more suitable. They put on oldies, which were tolerable compared to the rap they had been playing. I had a mai tai which was good and a Peek-a-boo, which was similar. I bought 2 mugs and went back again the next nite. They had napkins and matchbooks bearing a Shag drawing. I noticed that most patrons had no idea of what a tiki bar was and most were drinking beer. I guess if you are from Calif you get more tiki stimuli in your life and may see fit to badmouth the Cove. I cannot wait to go back! |
