Ok so update...

We wanted to head to Lavo on Friday night but had to go to Tao to get the wristbands. We didnt end up at Tao until midnight so the night was kind of long, found a guy with a clipboard and directed us to the band/guest list line. Ended up waiting about 25 minutes I think (probably could have been expedited but no one else wanted to shell out anymore $) but when we got to the front, showed them our confirmation sheets and they had a list with our names on it...got the bands and headed out to Lavo.

We were able to use the bands at Tao Beach and Tao the next day no problem (got to Tao at about 10:30 and it took about 5 minutes). Again wristbands were from vegas.com...have a good time!

so glad you wrote this
just got off the phone. Was talking to vegas.com representative and she wehementlyl claimed that you could only use the pass once for A nightclub and once for A day club; my understanding, which you have confirmed, is that its unlimited use from Thur-Sun

The other thing I would like to know is - do you have to stick together in a group? do you have to show confirmation printout?

Two reasons for asking:
- we are 7 guys so want to split up the groups to go separately
- not everybody (including the person who bought the passes) would want to go out every day / night. Sometimes only a few of us would want to go out on any given night/day

thx. will be in Vegas tomorrow :-0 and we still havent managed to sort out entry into XS or any other club for Saturday

ok just for the record. this is how it went down
5+ guys
- just two of us went into a special line titled 'Vegas.com' - it was about 10:30. Line was short and moved faster than other lines

we showed our confirmation letter to the door chick. she put the passes on me and my friend and handed over the rest of the passes to us to put on our friends

we walked out and me and my mate got stamps.

we handed over the reamaining passes to our friends and they got in no probs and got stamped on their way out also

with the stamps we could go in and out as we pleased

the door chick confirmed the pass is good until the Sunda and we can go in / out of tao/lavo/tao-beach until then as many times as we want

tao had atleast three rooms open (incl tao beach) - lots of r&b and hip-hop - NICE!
but the place was a sausage fest - wish we had gone somewhere else; there must have been 1 girl to every 6-8 guys :-(
at home alone @ ph towers while my friends are blowing their money at a stip joint .. defo not my thing - sooo boring

hope this helps someone else

Though it's been said that nowhere can guarantee a bevy of women, I'm not surprised that anywhere you can buy passes or get seemingly good bottle deals that you run the risk of sausage fests. I'm kind of surprised that Tao would have sausage fests though.

if one person bought the passes then everyone needs to be with that person when they pick up the passes. They put wristbands on and after that it doesn't matter who goes out or not

Yes I had read that too - but I can confirm that me and my mate (the passes were in his name) were able to pick up the bands for the rest of 6-7 guys who were not present at that time. We went on Wednesday night first and were told the passes can only be picked up on Thursday! I had read somewhere that they can be picked up from wednesday onwards (yes I am aware Tao club is only open Thursday onwards)

ok just a quick update on use of the passes for the dayclub.

it was a breeze

On Friday I got there just after 11am. You have to find the guy @ the Venetian that is hidden in the corner on the ground floor and show him your 3-day VIP pass. He then gives you a stamp.

This stamp gets you through the security guard on the ground floor and on to the guest lifts (to the fourth floor).

On the fourth floor there is another "security guard" - you just show him the stamp you just got - he directs you the far end of the hotel swimming pools which is where Tao beach is

As you get closer you can start to hear the music pumping. Here you see a nightclub type setup with roped off areas and "bouncers". You just show the main guy the 3-day VIP pass you have and he slaps another "Tao beach" band on you and you are in. Very easy and hassle-free.

I didnt stay too long as we had been doing exotic car and ATV dune buggying.. and had to head off to go-kart and machine gun shooting .. but the party was starting to get off (< 50 people there at the time)

I have gotten a lot of help from these forums so I hope others can benefit from this...

In summary though, I had a crap time in Vegas because I went with the wrong group of friends and for too little time (2 full days only - all the way from London and the others came from Sydney, Australia) but .. WOW what a great city and I can't wait to come back and do it properly.
