Not Gay Friendly

by justice333

My gay friend was repeatedly approached by the bouncers at Tao nightclub and finally they escorted him out. The bouncer asked if he gay and told him that was why he was being kicked out but that his opinion did not reflect Taos opinion. I will never go there again and I suggest other people do not spend there money at a hate club!

• Pros: No cover or waiting

It's a nightclub, not a restaurant.

by Wingchild

I visited Tao in the Venetian believing it was a decent asian restaurant. I was quickly disabused of this notion.

Seating: I went on a weeknight with no reservation around 7pm. The place was empty - two tables seated out of perhaps fifty total on the ground floor - but the hostess made me sit and wait. This is to give you a chance to relax in their lounge area and get you to start drinking. Unfortunately for Tao their drink menu is particularly uninspired; half a dozen variations on flavored martinis at $14 each. A poor joke for the alcohol conniseur.

Waitstaff: The waiter I received was fairly obnoxious, not because he was rude, but because he wouldn't shut up and let me enjoy my meal. I don't really need a best friend who's always in my face telling me about what an awesome place I'm eating in. If the restaurant has style, good food, and is pleasing to be in, it will show through without being pimped every few minutes. For drink suggestions my waiter was quick to hard-sell Voss. If you've not had it, it's bottled water much like any other but with a prettier bottle and a higher price tag. A place that hard-sells water is more interested in its appearance to outsiders than in serving delicious food.

Meal: I went with blackened steak with udon noodles and was served a respectable noodle bowl. The meat was good quality but not otherwise noteworthy. Someone confused udon noodles with lo mein for my dish, a fact I giggled about for the next half hour to follow. Also ordered the scallop tempura; good, but would have been better if it weren't limited to two small pieces. Also ordered kobe beef sashimi. Somehow they've made kobe taste like roast beef. Seriously - go to your favorite deli, have them slice you off a piece of roast beef, and try them side by side. See if you can tell the difference.

I couldn't do dessert here; spending more money on average food with a pushy waiter isn't my idea of fun.

The interior was very pretty; the sumi calligraphy on the ceiling was quite fetching. Loved the buddha. While the place has style, it lacks ambiance, as you can hear other waiters pushing Voss on other tables full of tourists; you can see tables with unappealing $14 drinks all around; you can watch the cognitive dissonance set in as diners try to convince themselves they're having a great time.

They aren't. It's all style, no substance at Tao.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere, loved the sumi calligraphy
• Cons: Average food, pushy wait staff, too much scene

One really busy nightclub

by ny516

Well for one, it's not hard to find since the line is usually pretty long but it's actually not as daunting to get in as it looks. Once you get in, the downstairs is nicely spread out and it's a nice area to kick back and have a drink. On the other hand, the upstairs area at Tao is PACKED with people, along with additional VIP tables and a dance area. The drinks and service have always been great at Tao and it's a place I'd recommend to people but despite the price I'd also recommend table service there since the large crowd can get a bit overwhelming at times.

• Pros: Good drinks, great place to reserve a table
• Cons: Packed (especially upstairs), long lines, small dance floor

Fav Vegas Spot

by mhansell1

Tao is a place of pure unadulterated fun! Hot chics, hot waitresses handling our bottle service, great music and seemingly neverending club with three different DJ's and dance floors. Plus the decor's not half bad :-). Definitely would recommend Tao to anyone looking for a good time in Vegas and it didn't slow down all the way up to 5am when they had to push people out of the club.

• Pros: Good music, tons of dance floors, hot chicks
• Cons: Pricey
