MEH! I reluctantly came back to this nightmare of a club. As we were walking from Encore to Tao, it was like the whole world was walking the opposite way. I'm assuming to XS. It was like I got the wind knocked out of me as I rode up the escalator and saw the hordes of people waiting to get in.
They pack this club to the point where it is literally a struggle just to walk from the bathroom to the bar. We went to the main dance floor upstairs but it was so packed we couldn't even move. We went to check out the other rooms but it reeked of BO. The odor was making me nauseous, I had to get out of there. There was even a long as$ line to get upstairs to Tao Beach!
I think the best place to stay at is downstairs where you first enter into the club. It doesn't get popping until around 1AM, so just stick around at the bar. Every time I've stayed down there, it's never been insanely packed. Also, there is never a wait to use the bathroom where the restaurant is at. Easy access!
I'm not sure why I keep getting suckered in coming back here. It's not all that great anymore. I didn't even get to see my friends because they got kicked out for allegedly starting a fight. Sucks because they threw a lot of money down for a table. Oh well. Tao simply isn't what it used to be.
