Unforgettable Night of a Guy on His Own

[wat]

Hey Jack,

I appreciate what you do here, 'cause otherwise, I wouldn't have had a crazy good time at Tao back in November. It's a long, long story, so I'll split it up and hey, if no one cares about the story, I'll stop writing. But it was definitely a crazy, wild experience and I gotta thank this site for making it happen.

After doing some research, I figure it's either Tao, Pure or Tryst for me on a Saturday night. I'm staying in downtown Vegas, so I gotta plan ahead. Up comes 9pm Saturday night, and I'm still recovering from the night before - met 3 chicks from South Dakota or something at Golden Nugget, but before anything went down, I suffered the wrath of mixing Coronas, Captain, Budweiser and vodka ... that I can remember. Anyway, I suck up, tell myself "It's Vegas - don't let this keep you back" and get dressed.

Take a cab to the Bellagio for $20 and start roaming around the casino, checking out the sights. Definitely some solid eye candy walking around, but (thanks for the tip) gotta get to Tao early before things start shutting down. I get to the outside of the line and sure enough, the description's spot on. Now, I know I'm on guy on my own, so I'm gonna have to try and hook up with a group of (mainly) girls to get in, 'cause I got no chance on my own. So I stand out side for a few minutes with my Blackberry, checking it, w/e, looking busy. (Thanks to the site again) I'm dressed up with a jacket, vest and tie, so some group comes to up me like I work there and go, "Hey, is this the line?" Oops, maybe I overdressed.

Couple more minutes passed, and 4 girls walk up to the stairs, somewhat flustered. No guys with them that I could tell, so I had to try and see if they were willing to let me jump in line with 'em - perfect. As they're still looking around, I step up and go, "Trying to get into Tao?"
"Yeah - we're not sure where the line is."
"I think it's here ... mind if I tag along with you, though? I'll pay your cover in if you don't mind me coming in with y'all."
"Oh ... well, we already have passes, actually. But yeah, you can come with us."
"Oh. Nice! Let me at least get you a drink or two, then."

Expecting to pay $100-150 for the whole group, I luck out and find the group of girls that already got passes to get in and just end up paying for myself. Sweet.

We get past the first line of defense a little past 10 and get to stand in line. Great group of girls to talk to - totally friendly and not at all pretentious. Made the 20 minutes of waiting fly by. So, by 10:30pm, we're paid up, stamped up and on our way to Tao ... Beach?

Part 2: Beach at Night

As we walk in, we're directed upstairs - we're not allowed to walk directly in the club. Ok. So we're walking up some stairs ... then some more stairs ... then some more. Evidently, we're headed to Tao Beach. My god - so much griping on the way up there. Thankfully, all my female companions are in decent shape and pleasant moods - we were just making fun of all the complaining.

So we make it up to Tao Beach, and it's relatively empty - only crowded area is the bar right now, about 4-5 people deep. So I get in line and take some drink orders. (Tip #1 for single guys - pick a bartendress and tip her well to start off. She'll remember you and take care of you. Same theory behind VIP service, 'cept that the bartendress will see many different faces. My first drink run was $70, I tipped her $30. Second time through, she picked me out of a crowd and asked, "Same?") Ordered a bottle of water and don't have any hands to carry the drinks, so I stuck the bottle of water in my pants. Random girl sees that, smiles and goes, "Hey, is that a bottle, or ..." Give her a smile back and go, "Nah, I'm just happy to see you, baby." Pretty sure I got my ass grabbed on my way out of the crowd, and for my own peace of mind, I'll assume it was that girl that did it.

We drink and we start dancing (I luck out again - the group of girls I'm with are among the few that are willing to get up and dance already). Then we head down. At this point, I'm already figuring out when to implement Tip #2 for single guys: never stick around a group longer than they want you around for. So we agree to make our way down and I hang a little further back - if they still want me to hang around, they'll look back for me. Which they do. So I'm with them for a little while longer.

We get down to a level where there's a HUGE dance floor that's just packed and a hallway leading to 2-3 other rooms (this is where the details start to get hazy). We head to one of the side rooms and we hang out and dance a little. I check my watch - 11:30. I tell them, ok, I'm gonna get a drink. Takes almost 20 minutes to get my drink, and by the time I get back, they're gone. Ah well. I'm in, I'm a little liquored up and I'm in Vegas, partying with hot women left and right. So far, a success, I'd say - with some time to explore and check things out. So far, damage is about $180 ($30 cover, $70 for first round of drinks, $30 tip, $35 for the next round of drinks, $15 for my next drink).

Damn, these cliffhangers are worse than a soap opera on a Friday afternoon!

Part 3: Random Faces and THE Asian

I wander around for a bit and check out the main room again and more of the side rooms. Finish my drink and stand in line for another one. Hard to get the bartender's attention, so I just chill for a while.

One girl (latina, fairly cute) gently bumps into me, looks at me and goes, "My friend doesn't want to take a picture with me. Can you take one?" Sure, why not. So she puts her arms around me, mine around hers and we pose. Friend takes a look at me and makes a funny face. Yeah, ok, fine, I'm not as beautiful as the other guys here, but your friend seems to like me, as she's holding me pretty tight. So she gets a couple pictures and says "thanks". I turn back to the bar, see if the bartender's looking at me at all. Nope. So I wait. Another group nestles up to me, and I'm pretty much shoulder to shoulder against a cute asian (my preference) girl. Make a little small talk, find out she's from North California, going to USC, studying ... uh, I forget. They get their drinks and take off.

So I finally get my drink and walk around for a bit. I catch a glimpse of this group of asian chicks - one of 'em is really hot. I notice a couple of 'em looking at me and smiling, so I smile back, but figure they're just being nice. I walk around some more and now things are getting a little hazier. I walk back into the side room I came from and pick a spot to chill out. Again, I pull out my Blackberry for a little and attempt to look busy. (Possibly Tip #3 for single guys - make sure you can look busy when not actually being busy. As another option, you could just opt to not be as hungover as I was and actually BE busy the whole time.) I figure it's time to check out some other part of the place. As I'm walking out, I see the group of asian girls again. I smile again, and this time, one grabs my hand and goes, "My friend thinks you're hot." I'm amazed - it's the hot one that's blushing and smiling at me. (lucked out AGAIN) So, I say, "Well, can I get you a drink, then?" She says yes.

I mean, damn. She's hot. We get our drinks and go back to her group of friends. We dance - and she "likes the way I move". I find out she has a bit of an accent, but for the most part, completely understandable. We totally hit it off. How do I know? After the first 15 minutes or so, I tried doing the "hang back and see if they look back" - oh, she wasn't having any of that. As soon as she saw me drag back a little, she came back and grabbed me by the hand, smiles and goes, "I can't let you go." Every once in a while, she goes back to her friends, they tell her something and she comes back to me and goes, "They say I'm lucky 'cause I got a hot guy." Total ego boost. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a hot guy, and definitely a far cry from model material, so I'll take my compliments where I can get 'em ... especially coming from a hot asian chick like her. I ask her what she does, since she was passing out business cards for a restaurant. She says she doesn't work there - she's just helping a friend out. She says she works at a casino party pit and shows me a picture of her in her uniform - WOW. That's ... hot. After a while, her lips start getting closer to mine and we end up kissing on the dance floor. I tell her she's an awesome kisser (and she replies you too). We keep dancing and kissing - at this point, our hands are starting to roam, and she's got a great body. Around 1:30, all but one of her friends leave. We stick around longer, and I meet a asian hip-hop promoter friend of hers or something. He bought us a round of shots and then we start making leaving movements.

She asks, so are you staying on the strip? Since I'm such a baller and staying downtown, I tell her the truth: "No, I'm downtown - I just caught a cab over." She goes, "Oh - I'll drive you back, then!" Wow. So I save on cab fare, too?

When it hits 2am, we start leaving with her one friend that stayed behind. We go ... down (?) stairs into yet another room I don't remember and walk out the exit, where all the flower petals in little stone pools line the exit way, and back out into the Bellagio.

That's the of the Tao experience!

[dnix]

I love your story telling. Keep it going. Props on landing a local. They can be tricky.

[IRockNvegas]

[Addicted2SinCity]

That'd be quite the trick.

Haha, sorry. I realize that's not even close to right.

It was the Venetian.
