If I'm not mistaken, Taboo Cove has already closed its doors permanently...

Such horrors are not true (at least not yet). It was the dance club C2K which is closed for remodeling.

FYI:

Taboo Cove is desribed on the venetian website:

Venus, at The Venetian, celebrates all that Las Vegas is: bright lights and wild nights. A place where pleasures are served with classic Vegas glamour and seduction. Escape inside to the club's Taboo Cove with its exotic drinks and energetic environment or socialize in the main room where table seating and bottle service are a standard and beautiful women attend to your every need. Venus brings the past and present together, combining the spirit and style of classic Vegas with the energy of today's nightlife scene. "Sin City is back and ready to serve guests."

If Taboo Cove has become extinct, it's no surprise to me. In respect to bosko's pure vision, the aesthetic and culture that compose it (Tiki) just don't seem to be consistant with the Vegas of today. It's all just business sense, as mentioned in previous posts, and indicitive of the modern nature of Las Vegas (a great fast-paced vacation to take your mind off of reality, but not for the laid back fantasy of a Tiki Bar). My 1st (and only) account of Vegas was awesome but accompanied by a side of humanity that has no interest in the subtle intrege of the world of TIKI. No offense... I'm glad to have experienced it in my lifetime but it's just not my kind of place. Taboo Cove is well deserving of a patronage that see's it as more than the sum of its parts, a site in So Cal or Los Cabos or Arizona... Colorado... Florida... Wisconsin... Ohio...(getting fainter as exits..)?
