You do have to enjoy 80s music and the camp that comes along with the 80s or this might be your own circle of hell. For us, it was nice to have a blast to the past, complete with costumes, music, and the wonderful videos on the wall. For all you youngsters reading this, MTV used to play videos. All the time. Seriously! It was a golden age of television. =)
Drinks are not cheap (particularly when you can get drinks for free right outside the place), so perhaps a pre-drinking session is in order. As the name suggests, there are tons of drinks that are bourbon based, but there isn't the largest selection of bourbons. I did find it amusing that there is a menu of Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers, to truly bring you back. The servers, according to one of them, are all professional dancers, which makes sense that they perhaps aren't the best at actually serving drinks. Jim G. asked our server what IPAs they had. Her response was, "IPA? What's that?" He quickly responded by saying, "Just bring me a Coors Light."
Fun music, fun 'performances' by the dancers and the DJ, fun dancing to be done. As long as you like this music and the cheesiness of the scene, you'll have a good time. If you're trying to hook up for the night, then be sure you're in the late 30's+ scene and perhaps lower your standards. =)
As a tip, the Venetian has created a small gambling space right outside the club (which is very open for all to see) where there are some tables; this way you can enjoy the music and the vibe while still gambling. Best of both worlds? Depends on your luck, I suppose.
