Yes Midnite, actually we did visit Taboo Cove last fall when we were in Vegas for a wedding. We were very excited to see the place-- we like Bosko's stuff a lot and had heard that the decor was very well done. And it was! Only problem was that it suffered the same shortcomings that the other places did. The free "tiki" drink (free with a coupon obtained at the Venetian, which also got us in free-- there is a cover charge to drink at the bar) was our choice of well drinks, long island ice teas etc. I don't remember that one in the Grog Log...

We tried to sit down and relax with our free drink... then came the music. Rap music at ear splitting decibels. I haven't chugged a drink that fast since college. We had to get the hell out of there. Too bad as we were really groovin' on Bosko's carvings. We scooted across the isle to the Venus club and when we looked at the drink menu we knew we were not going to be there very long either. The menu was for bottles and they started at $200 for vodka. (I'll be at the package store, thanks! Or drink for "free" in the casino) Again, that was a shame 'cause the vintage furniture, design and moody lighting was very nice. Oh well, maybe if we vote with our dollars and frequent the Tiki place that finally "gets it right" it will thrive and the others will close and we can snag the tikis!
