I have gone to Tao every time I've gone to Vegas so far (which isn't much, but still). It's a fairly large club but it gets crowded really fast. I took away a star because of how crowded it gets...but that just means it's the place to be, right? I love the feel of the place...oh, and I must agree with what Chris P. said about giving a star for the girls in bathtubs. There are half-naked ladies covered in flower petals in bathtubs. Ooh lala!
I usually try to go in through the guestlist with enough girls...you want AT LEAST the same number of guys as girls...the more girls the better. Last time I had more guys in our group, but somewhere in line I found some lovely ladies who offered to help us get in by changing our girl-guy ratio 1:1. I'm usually out of there before I can get trampled by the thousands of people pushing and shoving their way around...plus, standing, walking and dancing in 5-inch heels certainly makes its mark on my feet by that time, anyway. Tao Beach is nice because it's on the roof...it is closed when the weather isn't ideal, but it's usually open if you go during the spring, summer, or fall.
