We arrived about 10:00, Taboo Cove was open, (since 5:00)- Venus was going to open at 12:00. There was no cover and I don't know if they were enforcing a dress code. (I was wearing leather shoes). TC looked great, totally Tikified. The bartenders (5 of 'em) were really freindly one took me on a tour of Venus despite the fact it was closed. They told me they had just changed hands and the future was unclear as to what the venue may change into. they said it was being aggresively promoted, but the casino still had no idea where TC or Venus were located. They did not have the "Bosko Menu" I had seen on Bosko's website, I don't know about the "Shag Menu".They had Venus matches and venus swizzle sticks and venus napkins. The Thecno Pop and Rap was LOUD, VERY LOUD.I got a MaiTai and a Tropicana they were $12.00 each and they were bad. Shelley tried my Mai Tai and ordered a Bacardi Soda. I asked about a tropical drink and they came up with something that had "Finlandia cranberry-midori-and redbull-YUCK. The place was pretty full and had a really fun crowd. We met some really fun people. And as I said the bartenders were great. One of the bar keeps had seen "Dita Von Tease" do her bulesque act, he said it was awsome. He did not hold out much hope for more shows. The future will tell. Despite the obnoxious music and the fact the place is very small I give it an +A.I really enjoyed "Cheeseburger at the Oasis". It was like someones home bar with the collection of "Treasure Craft" and Hawaiiana and Tiki mugs. I also had a volcano at the "Papyrus" served in a cool volcano bowl next to some awsome Tikis. Did not make it to Kahunaville or Noodles. Al [ Edited by: Alnshely on 2002-05-28 10:27 ]
