Saturday Night - Tao Moat Area or XS Outdoor Table?

[MTLGuy]

I'm going to be in Vegas June 13 -16 with a group of 14 (yes, all dudes) for a bachelor party. Being a large group of guys, we all realize we're going to have to pay to play. We're looking at options for Saturday night and are trying to decide between Tao in the Moat area (min $3000 spend) and an outdoor table at XS (around the same price. An indoor table would be more than double). Any thoughts on which one is "better" for a large group of guys on a Saturday night?

Everything I read tells me that XS is generally "better", but does that apply to the outdoor tables as well? Or are the outdoor tables kind of out of the party, so that a table in the moat area at Tao would actually be "better"?

I vote for the Tao moat! Girls love being in that exclusive roped off area and dacning on the tables.

That's a tough one...I'd probably go for Tao Moat though to be closer to the action...that is as long as they have a good DJ that night.

Thanks. I think we're leaning towards Tao as well. We're doing the outdoor table thing at Tryst on Thursday. So I'm thinking we need to be inside right in the heat of the action on Saturday.

Tao saturday is open format music right?

Where exactly is the "moat" area?

[Chuck]

It's elevated about 5 feet above the dance floor to the left.

Oh! I feel like that's 1 of the best locations at Tao! +1 Tao Moat

if you're not fussed about the music, my 2c would be tao moat, as I'm assuming you're going to want to be in the action. Outside at XS is good but chill.

Tao Moat!

Yes I def vote Tao moat over outside any day

[MTLGuy]

Thanks for all of the feedback!

Tao Moat it is.

i dunno, i quite like xs outside on the patio to the left of dj booth. it has a pretty heavy flow and i found that spot last year to be more favourable than the backwall inside spot at xs this year

XS outdoor by far its awesome being outside and partying
