Everything started out smoothly for a Memorial Long Weekend night at Tao's especialy since we got in only after 5 minutes of waiting in line. Perhaps this is because we were on the guest list, though. \n\nOnce you step inside, there are many courteous doormen which assist you and guide you to the club. You feel very privileged because of them..hah\n\n\nI was really impressed by how beautiful all the people were here. I'd say for every 10 people you saw, only 1 would be off, and even then they would be at least half decent.\n\nAnyway, besides the crowd, decor is beautiful. There are also two bars. The middle level of Tao's is the Tao's Night Club, the upper level is Tao Beach, and the bottom level is the Tao Bistro. For Tao's Night Club, I'd have to say there are some cool hidden corners. There are also bath tubs with nude women taking in bath in rose petals which was kind of cool. Lighting is very dim. \n\nI'd say this is a fun place to check out but it gets old after a while. Especially if you go on a crowded night, you get the feeling that it gets clausterphobic! But have fun :)\n\nPros:\n+ good ambiance\n+ good variety of music\n+ nice Asian decor\n+ 2-3 bar areas\n+ beautiful people, crowd\n+ people to assist you at every corner. When you go to Tao Beach, you'll pass a lot of employees who are in the corners just to make sure everything runs smoothly..The men are dressed in black suits and the women are half nude with bellies showing\n\nCons:\n- drinks run from 9 dollars to $15..kind of ridiculous to be paying $15 for a frozen lemonade with a bit of liquor in it\n- really really crowded because it's the \"it\" place to be. A little too crowded for my taste..\n\nTips:\n* I believe you can get complimentary admission if you are a girl by grabbing a pass at the Tao Bistro (get it during the day time before you go!)\n* get there early if you want to avoid the lines. We got to the club by 10 and that probably helped us get in faster; We left the club at 1am and the lines were ridiculously long still...\n* Don't wear jeans... the people really do look at you up and down\n*There's free valet! But it starts at 10!
