  • Just got back- Club review.

    Tao (Thursday) The line was outreageous at 1045. Thank go I used the site and name dropped a name T Paoli gave me, and it got us to the fornt but we still had to grease $20 per guy (4) ) not bad. The prblem is the place is just wayyy to crowded. We are pretty decent looking guys who like to talk to a group of girls dance, get a drink or two and just have a good itme with no expectations. Problem is its just basically a conveyour belt, people walking past people. The VIP tables, dont seem worth it because you just get people walking by who "have to keep walking by" because bouncers are shining lights in your face. Had to grease $50 to get to the platform and private bar but dont know if that was worth it. the place had some talent but too crowded and easy to get seperated.

    Drais- Thursday night.perfect remedy from crowded tao, great music and not so croded you cant help but kiss who you are talking to. but head bouncer, was pestering me all night wondering if I was on "E" Im not here to say i was or wasnt but who cares if i order 5 bottles of water and dancing all over. Dancing with lost of diff girls, and everyone having fun. I think the boucners at Drais arent the right type of bouncers. They seem like the Truckee/Chico red neck type who think anyone in a ted baker shirt, is gay and shouldnt be there. Place was great as usual but cmon, only 50% of people are partying "naturally" at 430 am, to throw this righteous "i know your on something " routine seems like your biting the hand that feeds you.


    Xs ( Friday) Plus - got there at 11am, when it the pay line, fast 4 minutes no grease and walked right in. Its VIP central but are you really VIP when 90% of the club goers have VIP? the crowd was good but you could tell the drink prices were killing some people. Girls danceing with you and you get them a drink and 4 friends behind looking at you with puppy dog eyes. i felt like ordering one drink with 5 straws. I know its a big club so they let in everyone but saw groups of guys doing body bumps near dj booth, near outside area, guys coming down the stairs onn piggy backs. It was amatuer hour for a while. the music was good, and the outside area dancing was cool. Great places to walk around and then go back to table. The bartenders and bouncers were the best but you take away the venue and staff and you had a really amatuer crowd. One vip table next to the dance floor just were brooding at girls for at least two hours, Again guys who spent wayy over thier head didnt want to be left out of the drink mix.

    Palms after- Horrid. Bad crowd , tow bouncers wouldnt take our money, then found smaller bouncer who glady took our $100 and skipped what look like a 2 hour line. got in and we only stayed because we just greaded a bouncer, Bad crowd , shoulder bumping and the girls were treaturous to look at it. East San Jose planted in Vegas. Again lots of sober girls just waiting for someone to buy them a drink. One girl said I was cheap because i only wanted to buy her a drink and not 6 frinds 6 wet pussy shots. couldnt get out of there fast enough.

              I'm with you on Rain. Perfecto might be worth it, but otherwise that place is like a mass of ppl that couldn't get into Tryst XS or Vanity that night. Love the East SJ reference lol. Weakest club I went to on my last trip (Fri night). If I'm @ The Palms I'd rather just hit up Moon or even Playboy Club.

              I've always had a good time at Tao, though. It's crowded on Thursdays yeah, but not as bad as it gets on Fri or Sat. And the crowd is better looking Thur anyway.

                I "liked" them all except Rain

                Tao was just too crowded. But great venue and talent
                Drais was great minus the FBI
                I think XS was like the movie "hurt locker" had I not heard all the hype, I would of really enjoyed it but expecting so much, XS was pretty good but I was thinking i would leave the club wanting to rent a VIP table to live in there.

                I was really just trying to bring out some of the things I didnt like.

                Bank was solid on Sat.

                  Weird they kept hassling you about E, it kinda comes with the territory being in a nightclub. Not like you're going to start fights on it.

                    Rain as ghetto? Wow, I thought all of the Vegas clubs kept out the usual crowd sporting jerseys, hats, tanks, large chains, baggy jeans, air force ones, etc. that would typically classify a place "ghetto". We had no issues back in December with the crowd at any of the Palms clubs on a Friday night. Maybe a tad slow due to the season and whatnot, but my wife and I made the most of it- plenty of room to hang out, dance, laugh our asses off at a very drunk bachelorette party, etc. The bar tenders took very good care of us.

                    We experienced Tao on the next night and I would fully support your conveyor belt logic. The only way I would go to Tao again would be with a table though. It was overly packed the night we went and seemed on par with an "amateur" type crowd, that or a very young 21 yr old crowd that I would classify as an 18 and up crowd back here in Michigan. If I was a single guy there with a group of friends, I wouldn't have been too impressed with the scenery. Maybe a few more shots would've fixed that. The bar tenders were great though and easily took care of us. We took full advantage of the open bar deal that they gave my wife for the first few hours.

                      I've had mixed experiences at Tao. But one thing is certain - the best night is thursday night. And its definitely a younger crowd than the ones at XS/Jet/etc. At least from my experiences.

                        Yea and we got in with no issues, there was only two of us at that point. Lost two buddies at Tao but not only a club in Vegas but one like Drais at that. Really have no alternative but to be sord of wimpy and just say no sir i havent, being our first night didnt want to get nixed on that place but a little weird. Again the bouncers IN the club seemed a bit more redneckish.

                          I am going by the crowd, not really the clothes. anyone can put on a sweater vest and a collar shirt to get it. But you get the shoulder bump, the stare downs which is fine but it was mainly the girls seemed scandalous. Just based on my experience when you offer a girl a drink and you dont want to buy all 6 of her friends a drink as well , and she starts arguing forget it. Its one thing if its another girl or two but you get the sense thats the plan they have.

                            How many people were in your party that you had to grease $200 for?
