Worst night club experience EVER!
Why?
Because I didn't get in...and there was a fight outside!
We were on the guest list and took a cab from across the strip to get here. I was dressed nice, but had on white sneakers (white/cement Jordan IIIs). For this reason alone, I was not let in.
However, we noticed several other dudes wearing torn up canvas sneakers. The explanation we received when my wife asked was that they were not white (I guess khaki colored Vans are okay??). The doorman wasn't budging, so we went on our way.
As we were about to leave, a fight broke out within a few feet of us. A guy punched security and then just stood there talking. He could have walked away at that point because security was so slow to respond. Then after a few minutes he started getting swarmed by waves of security guards. They hog tied him, and then some random dude came up and kicked the tied up dude in the face. Security did nothing to stop the kicker, and seemed incompetent in general.
Even though I never made it inside, Tao just doesn't seem like my type of place. My advice is to steer clear of here!
