The decor is worth a look, which I am beginning to think is what most folks are doing. Bosko did a great job, but it cannot overcome a bad location and the other ills facing Taboo Cove. At least the TV was gone! The music is all wrong, fine, but they have it so loud it's unbearable. Business is so good there the have to close down a few days a week! There are some Tiki-like places around Vegas. There are a few topics that have covered this earlier, you may want to "search" the lists. I think Bosko did some work at "Kahunaville" in Treasure Island, it's more Margaritaville-ish. Bellagio has an Asian bar (Noodles?) that is pretty good, but not typically "Tiki" at all. There are a few places with tropical themes in Luxor and Mandalya Bay. Castaways has a show now, a Hawaiian revue? Our Vegas resident Centralites have more info for sure. Taboo Cove was the flagship, but that boat is taking on water and this rat has left! If you want real Vegas Tiki go to Sunset Park and visit the old Aku Aku Maoi. One can even see it from the air, southeast of airfield.
