| - It's no secret that I enjoy food, and a great night out. Tao is the place where I can get both, but please take note that I didn't say "good food"...but I also didn't say "bad food". I just said food.
I had a buddy in town for a bachelor party. When I met up with the crew, I was a bit hesitant about having dinner here, but realized that it would be my easiest way into the club. (I've been to the club a few times before this).
Dinner was dinner. I had the duck fried rice which was tasty, but being the food nazi, I realized that the rice wasn't of the highest quality. Kind of a shame when you consider the prices. I also noshed on some of the other items that were on the table such as the tender steak, which was also tasty.
Before we got our check, a club person came around and stamped our hands. Then we had to go back down to the entrance, and get our hand stamped again before we could actually go into the club.
Once there, it's your usual club shenanigans. Models in scantily clad gear that pet eachother while sitting on couches. $14-$18 cocktails.
There are two dance areas, the smaller is the "hip hop" room and in my past visits, this was the only place to hang because there as breathing room....not this time around. This time, we ahd more room in the main area.
It's easy to socialize and meet people here. Be careful, because if you meet someone, you might find yourself alone and detached from the rest of your group. This place really is that busy.
When I was at the bar near the entrance, I saw a "coolio"-looking individual. Low and behold, later in the night, when Fantastic Voyage came on, Coolio indeed took the spotlight and threw down one of his two hits. He of course, followed up with Gangsta's Paradise.
You never know who will show up here. I've seen Jay-Z and Rihanna here before. This is your place for a good time. Make it happen!
