I've never been to TAO before so my cousin decided that we should go there on our first night in Vegas. We contacted a promoter and he put us on his guestlist and told us to make it in time for open bar since it was "ladies night".
Having been to XS (http://www.yelp.com/biz/xs-nightclub-las-vegas-2#hrid:5eafLkuYFaYMiOa2BRCeYA) , the mecca of Vegas clubs, TAO disappointed a bit in the decor department but it's very dimly-lit and I loved all the plush, red colors. It's a very beautiful club located in The Venetian, but just a little on the smaller side. There were different levels of the club, but we stayed in the main room. We were going to go somewhere else but I'm so glad we stayed because we got to see Dash Berlin, who was AMAZING!
Getting drinks was easy and I really appreciated the open bar! The dancefloor was pretty crowded but when you have a big DJ, that's expected. VIP tables are located all around the dancefloor and upstairs overlooking the club.
I'm glad we spent our first night in Vegas at TAO - between the open bar, Dash Berlin, and the new British friends we made, it was an amazing night! ;)
