Venus is definitely the brightest but not every night. It's very bright in the evening sky when it is approaching inferior conjunction, the point at which it passes between the Earth and the Sun. Venus can also be seen in the morning sky after inferior conjunction. In the few weeks either side of inferior conjunction it can't be seen.
The next inferior conjunction is coming up so look out for Venus from the end of September 2013 onwards in the evening sky after sunset, then you can check its progress until mid-December. But when it happens at this time of year Venus is quite low down in the south west or west after sunset.
Inferior conjunction is on January 11 2014.
From about mid-February Venus will be quite high in the south east before sunrise.
