| - Boy, did I have a blast at TAO. You know, the details are a bit fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure that the spilled drinks and post-dancing sweat must mean we did something right!
This was my first Vegas clubbing experience, and everything was set up "perfectly." It was my first time back in Sin City after over a year, I was seeing some sexy people that I hadn't been around with, and I already had a few Jack & Cokes to start off the evening. Not to mention that Miss Jaymie Lynn S. was able to get us some free passes for some of the fellas. No cover?! Thank you Mr. Bouncer.
For the guys, TAO is hella strict, so you better dress to impress. Besides, why wouldn't you want to show off that fresh, clean look to the (often) crowds of Asians that frequent this place? There's also the nearby Miracle Mile where you can buy a pair of slacks for less than $40, which I totally didn't do before heading in.
So how does the club itself rack up? Pretty damn good.
After you get in (and the line could be long), you head on upstairs to the first dance floor with plenty of go-go dancers and lit up bars. Dance floor space was a bit limited, so we headed to another room where they had roped off a couple of couch areas for bottle service. Meh.
The ladies tonight had some kind of deal where they got free booze for an hour or two. Needless to say, I didn't pay a single dime for the four... five... six(?) AMFs that I had tonight. It was one blue drink after the other (holler to Jaymie Lynn S., Nina Y., and Kathleen W. for having my back!) Drinks were decent, but it's to be expected being a packed-ass night club like TAO. If you gotta pay per round, a drink will set you back around $15, so make sure you bring some dollars to tip the bartenders.
DJ was on fire tonight. I'm a sucker for Top 40 and Hip-Hop, but more-so the former just cause it gets EVERYONE riled up. For my first time clubbing here, I definitely approved of the music selection. Or at least I'm sure I did. I do remember having an AMF in my hands for most of the night and going all out with it, so I'm pretty sure the music was poppin.
If you get hot, there's a balcony area where you can go take a breather- or you can go straight to TAO Beach. Small dance floor, but a good way to escape the sweat inside (even though I'm sure it's just as hot outside as it is inside).
Bathrooms were a bit hard to find outside, and I only remember there being any on the floor with the go-go dancers. It's easy to get separated while inside, so make sure you have a cell to call the homies up.
Also, doesn't matter how drunk you are- but make your friend doesn't start running away and your drunk ass starts chasing after them. Got into a bit of trouble with the bouncer inside... but damn it was fun.
TAO- you were aiite. I had a lot of fun, and I'm sure I'll be back for some more.
