A lot of hype surrounded the launch of Venus @ the Venetian -- what with the original Shag artwork and the claim of being "the first new Tiki Bar built in 40 years (or something). The interior might look tiki, but that's where it ends (I should note that Venus is actually split into two areas; The Tiki-inspired lounge and the dance/nightclub section). I've been in a few times and could only take it for a hour or so. If you like earsplitting dance/house music and want to do belly-shots with the barstaff, then this might be the place. BTW -- they discontinued the Shag matchbooks, cocktail napkins, and other stuff -- too collectible I guess.

You may want to try Cheeseburger in Paradise at Desert Passage (Aladdin). They also have an ABC store and a Hilo Hattie for those who can't make it to The Islands.

Aloha!
