I hadn't been to Tao in a while and I didn't think I'd enjoy my time here, but I was able to get me and my friends easy through a promoter I met and thought to check it out since we were staying at the Palazzo. The last time I had gone here before, I thought it was overrated.
But this time, my experience, as well as for my friends (8 others) was memorable. We quickly got in through the guest list line (took less than 5 minutes as promised) and was escorted to the Tao Beach portion. It is very Miami-ish. It had a view of the Palazzo and featured fresh outdoor air. There is a new tower being built right behind, so they had a Tao banner to try to distract away from it. The bathroom was far from the main area. But the bar service was great and the dance area was packed and fun. We then went to the main portion of the Tao nightclub - the area was still popular and crowded. The dance floor was packed like sardines, but for girls it was easy to navigate through. There was 1 main bar area and another bar area towards the back. We were able to access VIP by people we had met, so the bars were easy to reach.
I really liked that there was the beach area and the main club area and that both were fun, exciting, and enjoyable. If you've been here in the past and have a misconception that it is over-rated, check it out again and it might just change your mind :)
