My wife insisted we visit the Las Vegas Tao Nightclub when I went to Sin City to celebrate my birthday with one of my friend's, Chris.

We wanted to sample some of the desert city's nightlife and have a night out to remember but weren't sure where to start.

My wife suggested Tao at the Venetian because it’s the place where all the celebrities go especially when they’ve got a birthday to celebrate! Hey if it's good enough for a celebrity...

What's Tao Vegas like?

Tao at the Venetian is an Asian-themed venue which has the reputation for being one of the coolest, most lavish nightclubs on the strip. But it’s not just a nightclub... Its 44,000 square feet is also home to the Tao restaurant Las Vegas, sushi bar and lounge that can found in the the Venetian in Las Vegas on the same level as the Grand Canal Shoppes.

The cost of visiting all the great attractions Las Vegas has to offer can really add to the cost of your trip. To help keep costs down we usually get a Las Vegas Power Pass

With it you’ll have access to over 20 attractions, tours, rides etc. The Power Pass is worth more than $500 in admissions and discounts.

We got to Tao before 11pm so walked straight in but when we came out around 1.30pm there was a huge queue - so be warned - if you go later you may have to wait in line for a while.

What's it like at Las VegasTao Nightclub?

When we arrived at Tao we were met by women in little tubs filled with water and petals, clad in skimpy flowery bikinis.

As my wife promised there were celebrities there, well I assume they were celebrities as people kept going up to this couple and asking to have their photo taken with them. Unfortunately neither Chris or I had a clue who they were!

And the décor at Tao at the Venetian is impressive with waterfalls and statues of Buddha everywhere and views of the strip. The nightclub has three bars and two rooms which play a variety of music. Unfortunately there seemed to be nowhere to sit unless you'd paid for a table.

What kind of drinks do they serve at Las Vegas Tao?

We stuck to Jack Daniels and coke but if cocktails are more your thing (like my wife!) then Tao has a list to choose from. Drinks aren’t cheap though. The JD and cokes were more than $10 each.

How much does it cost at Tao? Are there ways of saving money?

It cost us $30 each just to get in... but Tao is an experience you can't afford to miss.

If you're planning to visit Lavo too then the Tao/Lavo All Access Pass is a great way to go. It offers huge savings. Plus with the pass you can skip to the front of the line at both clubs.

Women are at an advantage (of course). Their pass costs just $30, which is what we paid on the door, whilst the men's pass is $100. So, if you're a woman and only planning to go to Tao it's still better to get the pass and skip the line than queue to pay the same price on the door.

We were on a budget when we went and couldn't afford a table but if you're a bit more flush with cash and would like to avoid aching feet book a table at Las Vegas Tao nightclub. To make a reservation call 702-388-8588

There are other ways to save money at Tao. If you're a group of mainly girls try to get on the guest list for the nightclub by calling 702-813-7479.

For the big spenders, besides buying the LAVO or TAO Nightclub passes, there are more expensive options such as booking a table with VIP bottle service at TAO or LAVO.

Bottle service will give you the privilege of free VIP entry, your own cocktail waitress and a nice spot to hang out. Vegas VIP Services concierge companies have agreement with Las Vegas clubs to give you best possible table with premium seating.
