| - This review is for the TAO Nightclub only.
Overall, I've walked out of this club feeling satisifed for probably 8/10 of my experiences. But really, you have to know which nights to go for what purpose.
Getting in can be quite tough, especially if you don't know what you're doing. There's about 3 different lines depending on the night: one for regular guests, one for guestlist/hotel guests, and one for VIP. Your best bet is getting a promoter's number to get you on the guest list. They're usually really nice about it and usually can get everyone in for a reasonable price (the most I've had to pay was $20) and girls usually get in for free. Girls get free open bar from 10pm-11pm, so that's pretty cool. They're not as strict as XS about guys' attire, but you should dress up in a button up collared-shirt and dress shoes just to be safe because some will reject you; it really depends on the mood of the bouncer.
There's 2 dancefloors, one in the main area and one in another private room. The one in the private room is pretty small and mostly for people who reserved a table. The DJ in here in my experience is generally not as good in song selection. The main dancefloor outside is my favorite because the DJ is awesome. The only problem is that it gets crowded fast and it gets pretty hard to move around. Bad nights to go here are when celebrities decide to celebrate here. I mean the perk is that you get to party with and see the celebrity (Jamie Fox comes here a lot), but everyone wants to also, so everyone crowds the area and it's almost impossible to move and it gets super hot. There's a small balcony on the outside but it fits like 20 people and every just smokes there so it's not the freshest air for a break. If you want a break, you'd go upstairs to TAO Beach. Up here isn't really a club, more like a lounge; they have all reserved tables up there, a full bar, there's music and people dance in the aisles, but it's not necessarily where you go to dance. It's more for the fresh air and just to hang out and drink. It's really nice because it's on the roof so you're in the open air and a LOT of space. The only problem though is that getting between TAO Beach and the Nightclub can take awhile because a lot of people like to move in between and its kinda crowded.
Back in the nightclub I believe there are 3 bars (1 is in a secret location behind the dance floor). They're usually pretty crowded and typical vegas price (~$14 cocktails), but the bartenders are generally pretty good. The majority of the drinks I get here taste great and exactly how they're supposed to taste.
The bathrooms are apparently quite a scene. I've never been in the stalls for the guy's restroom but all my friends that are girls always tell me about their transparent stall doors. They are transparent up until the moment you close the door and suddenly transitions to being opaque, so apparently it's pretty nifty to see. The girls bathrooms are upstairs and there's usually a line to get in. They also have some pretty nice go-go dancers in the main dancefloor, and in the entrance they have some booths that are there for show, and sometimes, mianly Friday or Saturday nights, they have girls that just sit there and pose in really seductive positions along a bed, lounge chair, etc. And right next to dance floor, they sometimes have girls dancing in theses tubs. Literally. THey're tubs of water with rose petals on top and they're practically naked and dancing around in there. It's pretty hot.
But yeah, TAO is one of my favorite nightclubs in Vegas, and I'm usually walking out feeling pretty satisfied. I'd give it a 4-4.5 just because it can get really crowded and hot.
