The Venus is good, yes? Where else a cab ride away? How about Mobile, AL? Mobile, AL is more than a cab ride away from the Las Vegas Hard Rock. I recommend an airplane, or a good 4 days road trip. haha Seriously: Check out the Imperial Palace. I mentioned their Luau in TRT, but during the Mondo Tiki weekend, I inspected to their buffett, which is Tiki themed. It is upstairs on the 3rd floor, and a bit tricky to find, but it is a large room with a dozen or two Oceanic Arts masks. The lighting is a bit harsh and a cafeteria-style ambience squashes the Tiki vibe, but hey - Tiki is Tiki. I also made a return visit to Cheeseburger at the Oasis. The burgers there still suck (good fries tho), but their vintage Hawaiiana collection is astounding and well worth a visit.
