We met a guy while shopping in the mall who put us on the guest list so we got in free and didn't have to wait in line (there is no way in hell I will stand in line for 2 hours). While we were waiting to be let in, we could see the line to get in. It was RIDICULOUS! Seriously, I don't know how those people could wait in that line. We get in and pass everyone up which was nice. The ambiance was cool but the place was so freakin packed it was a pain in the ass to get anywhere. We tried to dance! HA ya right! GIRLS, if you wear open toed heels, be prepared to have to bruised and sore ass toes afterwards because everyone will be stepping on them! After losing 4 of our friends, my friend and I left to grab something to eat close by. It was nice to get away and not be stuck in a sea of people. We went back to Tao a little later and tried to dance some more but it was just too frustrating. We finally decided to leave. I agree that this club is WAY over-rated! I would have been pissed if I had waited in line for that club!
TIP 1: when you go to the bathroom, be sure to flip the little switch thingy that frosts the door so people dancing and drinking at the bar don't see you peeing! My friend didn't flip it and people got a show.
TIP 2: Don't drink to the point where you don't feel well. If security sees you and you like like you are going to puke, they will take you to their drunk tank! I kid you not. This happened to my friend.
