| - Nearly two years later, I returned to Tao.
A few[1] young women and I had no problems getting past security. I didn't receive nor witness any undesirable behavior from the bouncers[2]. A local friend of mine got us passes so the $20/girl cover was waived[3].
What an event! I had just as much fun as last time. Figured it was going to be a laid-back Saturday night (for Vegas, anyway), but I was wrong; it was bat-shit crazy inside[4]. A friend of mine from LA had a table, and generously shared drinks with us[5].
Table service was excellent. Server Joe (unsure of his name), offered to check on a member of our party who looked a tad inebriated, all-the-while keeping our waters refilled. Later that evening, server Tiffany approached me, pointing to a couple snogging in the corner of our booth (and doing a wonderful job of it, I might add). I assured our server that they were with us - the girl was, anyway.
Note for you shutterbugs: unless you're photographing for Tao in an official capacity, "professional cameras" (read: DSLRs) aren't permitted. Leave them in your hotel room - or bribe management for a press pass[6]?
Tao is still a fun venue to get your freak on, and if you have yellow fever, there's always a load of Asians there.
[1] More than two, less than ten.
[2] I thanked several for not being douches. They were appreciative.
[3] I got stuck with the standard $30/guy cover.
[4] Apparently P. Diddy was there causing a ruckus.
[5] I pregamed at the hotel, but keenly remember drinking lots of OJ. Thanks Binh!
[6] Do not actually do this.
