Crowded? Yes
Great music? Yes
Pretty girls sitting in bathtubs with only petals covering their boobies? Yes. (Although I'm sure their fingertips and toes are getting wrinkled sitting in water so long. Good thing it's dark). =P
Yup, just another Saturday night at Tao.
We went in around 12am and it was free because we were on the guest list. Earlier in the day we had found a promoter on the sidewalk near the Venetian and he gave us free passes. All we needed to do was text him our names and we would be on the guest list for the night. Yay for freebies! =)
We got in line and waited maybe 10 minutes or so. We had a pretty good ratio too, three girls and one guy. Once you get in, the main dance floor is on the second level. There is a third level too, but people are mostly standing up there. I actually wish I hung out on the first level more. Way MORE space to move around/dance/hang out. Music isn't as good as the second level though.
Half of the main dance floor is roped off for VIPs. The rest of us get squished on this super packed danced floor. The DJ was pretty good though, spinning a lot of current hits that we can dance to. They have confetti spewing over the dance floor at various times of the night, and scantily clad girls dancing on a ledge above the dance floor too. There was also a girl doing acrobatics above the dance floor every once in awhile. It was all very interesting and added to the fun vibe of this place. Oh and in regards to drinks, they have girls come around the dance floor and offer buy one get one free "shots". We got 4 shots for $24. And they weren't really shots. The shot tasted like a sugary sex on the beach, and wasn't very strong. I didn't even get my Asian glow, and I'm pretty sensitive! =P Not worth it.
The bouncers are like ninjas here, so don't start crap at this club. There was a fight barely starting to break out in front of us. No physical altercation could even occur before the bouncer flew in and scooped out one of the guys. The guy was totally taken off the dance floor and shoved out a back door in less than 10 seconds. It was that quick. The cleanup crew was on the same spot mopping up the spilled drinks and everything was fine again in a minute. Props to security for keeping the drunk douche bags in check!
All in all, good music, great company, fun times. And it was free!
