text: Take any loungeclub but make it during the daytime outside at a nice pool there you have Tao Beach And of course true to any clubbinglike experience your perceptions of how good your time was is dependent on n A how hotfunyoung the crowd is that dayn n B how much you drinknOur group of all girls came on a Sunday early afternoon pretty much had a good time considering the crowd was young goodlooking we each had at least a few drinks in our system If you are looking for a place to just lay out relax Tao Beach is not for you You can go to a regular hotel pool for that This is one of the many hotspots to get the party started before night fallsnn Location Before heading to the pool the line starts downstairs where you have to get handstamped on the ground floor by the Coffee Bean I do not know if this is how they always do it but it is pretty smart to have this first bouncer indoors considering the heat Once stamped on the wrist httpwwwyelpcombizphotosqEJjvknDhOiYpmiaVOwselectiAkuMcVMqSvKcTnA the Venetian pools are up on the th floor where you will pass through the regular pool before seeing the line hearing the bumping music for Tao Beach Here is another line where you get your wristband a complimentary towel nn Parking Venetian selfpark walk over or take a taxinn Venue Yea it is pretty small Most of the action happens at a shallow pool at the far end where partygoers dance mingle in the cloudy waters httpwwwyelpcombizphotosqEJjvknDhOiYpmiaVOwselectMfsmRguMJbIFXgDQ then there is a middle section of daybeds umbrellas before the bar some tables at the other end The whole area is surrounded by tables colorful cabanas that you can reserve for a pretty penny Unless all the tables are not reserved or you know people or can get to know people haha who have tables there is not much space to tan or leave your things There is another really small jacuzzisized pool by the bar but it is in an awkward place so no one really goes in therenn Cleanliness Like any pool it is not going to be clean after a only couple hours Considering that there is hundreds of people dancing splashing doing their thing in there all day mmm yea murky waters However there is staff around that monitors that no ones drinking in the pool The guy blows a whistle points so everyone pretty much stares down the wrongdoer until heshe gets out The pool deck area is fine It can get pretty slippery when wet though if you are walking or dancing around barefoot nn Crowd It takes a certain kind of person to come to a pool party one who is not shy to strip down to a bikiniswim shorts is down to get their drink on in broad daylight to loud bumping music Tao Beach is for the young goodlooking plus the many who wish they were or have the guts to come Seeing a something year old guy doing a gyrating solo performance on the side of the pool flashing a thong under his shorts was an interesting spectacle haha Other than that expect the people here to be slightly on the younger side of the crowd nn Music Top hip hop hits plus some EDM mixed in here there I am pretty sure the DJ played some repeats during the hours we there but whatever It is the kind of beats that has everyone up dancing in the pool or having a good time on the deck or by the bar nn Bar There is a few small tables to sit at but it is mostly just a small bar at the end specializing in frozen drinks whatever else you would want to keep you cool in the Vegas heat There is another bar closer to the pool as well I honestly did not spend too much time at the bar but when I did drink I was not the one buying haha Bartenders are hot chicks nn Drinks As mentioned they specialize in frozen drinks have some of their redbikini waitresses going around with shots Prices are high in the range of for most everything but then again it is Vegasnn Bathroom It is very inconveniently located all the way back by the entrance to the whole pool area Sure it is a decent size but considering how many people are not only at Tao Beach but also the general Venetian pool yea Go before you enter if you can nn Price Like pretty much every other group of girls we got in free It being a summer weekend guys have to pay but the amount is anything from up depending on how many guys how crowded the space is If you are a guy I recommending either staying at Venetian or Palazzo to get in free or coming early with a group of girls to help your chances of not having to wait forevermore or pay more nn Misc The day we went happened to be Pamela Andersons birthday httpwwwyelpcombizphotosqEJjvknDhOiYpmiaVOwselectGgsOJyOXaAlwlYWGBtrUtw so she made a second appearance at the DJ booth before disappearing back into the private cabanas Too bad I did not manage to snap a picture of her
