Clubplanet Pick of the Week: TAO Nightclub

Clubplanet Pick of the Week: TAO Nightclub

For the past three years, TAO Nightclub (located in the Venetian Hotel) has been the gold standard of all mega clubs in Las Vegas. Celebrities, locals, vacationers, journalists and basically anyone and everyone "in the know" in Las Vegas can agree that TAO Nightclub is, by all accounts, one of the number one nightclubs in the world, bar none.

If you Google "TAO Nightclub Las Vegas” you'll find that the search results are a bit different than what you would expect. Instead of intricate reviews of the atmosphere and bar menu, you'll find article after article, picture after picture, of celebrity sightings, special events and world renowned DJs contributing to everything that is TAO Las Vegas. The nightclub is essentially a multifaceted Japanese-inspired ultra lounge, nightclub, restaurant and beach club fulfilling every need, want, and desire that a nightlife connoisseur would command and expect. With all of the amenities included in the TAO experience, one would wonder why anyone would miss out on TAO nightclub when visiting Las Vegas.

TAO is a 10,000-square-foot mega club experience that welcomes guests from the time they enter with a truly unique vibe. The club boasts a stark contrast between elegant Asian décor, typically associated with peace and serenity, and high energy, wall-to-wall sensory explosions. Guests are greeted by a hulking, 20-foot-tall Buddha that oversees every second of the action.

The DJ booth is suspended above the main dance floor, which is speckled with raised platforms equipped with professional dancers to stoke the scene (needlessly) into an all-out rave on the regular. The platforms pay reference to the VIP area that is generally satiated by a multitude of A-listers on the nightly – but if the view isn’t enough and something a little more exclusive is necessary, there are eight sky boxes fully equipped with private lockers, mini-bars, and espresso machines to bring you up and keep you partying until the last call at 4 a.m. bids you good evening.

There are three bars upstairs that make ordering one TAO's signature cocktails as simple as possible, trumped only by the elegant European bottle service that is a staple of Vegas nightlife.
