I came here with my fiance on a Monday and Tuesday last week. There was not a cover nor a huge line to get in. We found a daybed right away and layed out for a few hours.
The ambiance makes you feel like you are in a temple's garden. The cocktail waitresses are very friendly and accomodating. We ordered a Mojito pitcher and had about 3 1/2 (7 drinks) drinks each out of that pitcher. The pitcher was $48.00 vs. paying $13.00 for one Mojito. The one star is for the size of the glasses here. They are rather small.
The pool is small but gets the job done of cooling you off from the Vegas heat.
My turn-on's about this pool party:
Europian tanning (you can wear pasties if you do not want to expose yor girls all the way)
They sell cute pasties that say Tao Beach for $5.00
No drugged out creatures of the night hanging out here.
Posh, high class feel to this pool party compared to the hectic Wet Republic & Rehab scene.
This is a place you should go on a weekday if you want to layout, hear great music and have some cool drinks. Please note: I have not experienced the weekend Tao Beach scene, but I heard it can get too crowded and crazy.
