| - Wow, just wow. The service for my event last night gets five of the biggest, flashiest, Vegas showgirl style stars you can even imagine.
Just walking up, the zen almost washes over you as you wish that the tubs full of rose petals were actually there for you to soak in. But then you remember it's Vegas, and that's nasty, and the pounding music hits you and you're not so zen. Then you're just overwhelmed by the design of the place. You walk into one of the most perfect lounge areas I've ever seen. Tons of cuddly couches and areas to sit with friends, all bathed in a very sexy candlelit glow. The better to enjoy your foofy, brightly colored cocktails in - maybe do a little canoodling. Now THIS is a place I would definitely come to if I lived in the area. I had something very blue - called the Blue Zin I think? (That's what happens when you let bartenders make your drinks, but worth it, it was delish) And a BLUEBERRY cosmo which just might be the most beautiful tasting cocktail ever. But yeah, they really should've used white cranberry juice instead of red. I am totally stealing that drink as my own.
And seriously, I cannot rave about the staff enough. From setting up the event, to the execution, we were treated with kid gloves and doted upon the entire evening. Our crowd had a great time and I was swimming in compliments for an event well done, and I know it was thanks to Tao and their dreamy staff (cutie patooties galore!).
The apps were fab (and not just because I set the menu) - I especially liked the duck, the triangular pork spring rolls,and the shrimp (which were not rubbery or chewy at all, but soft and almost flaky). The food at the buffet was only decent, and the desserts just okay, but absolutely adorable (hence the one missing star overall).
I would recommend this location for an event a million times over - they have plenty of nooks and crannies (or nightclubs or balconies overlooking the main dining room) to fit your group, and the know how to make sure your event goes off without a hitch.
