Tao is sooo hot! I'm gonna give it two stars cuz that's as high as I can count! And that's befoooore I've had my second Appletini, tee hee.
What I like most is how if you get a VIP table, you get to sit UP HERE, while all the rest of the people (the ugly ones) have to stand over there. See what I mean? You're sitting HERE, behind a little barrier, and then there are other less deserving people (I like to call them "eaters") over THERE. For that subtle distinction you pay an amount equivalent to a laborer's annual wage in India. Sweet.
Seriously though I am giving Tao two stars instead of one because it is a bit hipper design than the other big casino nightclubs, in its materialistic Buddhist (er that's a fundamentally contradictory theme yes?) way. Lots of earth tones with the bling. And the roided out bouncers are a bit less ogre-ish. Still I can't believe people fall for this crap. Standing in line waiting patiently to be a**raped sucks. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case bring lots of KY, you'll need it, you've found your nirvana.
