Disappointed in Las Vegas (long-re: Taboo Cove/Venus Lounge) - General Tiki

Bottom line, new owners, new business approach. The location is horrendous, and they don't get much support from the Venetian. I will be going back to Vegas in a month, and will go to Taboo, as well as a few others. It's all there is, Bosko's work is a must-see and what ya gonna do? Nonetheless, the music and television turn a fantastic room into a "so-so" destination. Look at the bright side and think, cool Bosko. Or look at the down side and think, boy could this be better. A Tiki Bar should not play the music they do(nor have MTV on, uggh), just as I would not expect a biker bar or country/western juke joint to be spinning surf music. Taboo cove gets an "A" for Bosko's efforts, and a "C+" due to the above mentioned missteps. midnite
