Answer: 1 star

Question: I've been here twice now and both times have been excellent! I met a friend on a hot Saturday for drinks and a bite. When I walked in, I was immediately approached for assistance. When I said I would wait for my friend, she then offered me some water while I waited (she probably saw I was sweaty! lol).

We sat down and our waiter shows up asking to take our order and offers suggestions. We get our drinks fast, take our order and the food comes out nice and warm. PERFECT!

The waiter kept checking in on us asking if everything was ok.

They have GREAT pizzas! The Hottie is my favorite as the same for the Korean wings. YUM! Bloody Mary's are also great!

Answer: 4 stars

Question: I don't know why this place is getting so much good reviews. Theres so much hype and the place dont even deliver much.

i went last month for an event and told the people in front of the club that we were going to get a cabana. i would expect that they would at least treat us better than the rest of people lined up to get in, but NO! they made us wait forever and had my party pay to get in which was so stupid.

we got inside after 2 hours of standing around and started climbing up the "mini" crowded stairs to get to tao beach. not a single host approached us, no staff led us to where were supposed to be sitting, I dont even know if VIP means anything to them.

we got upstairs and stood to find a host, we got the "pointing fingers." at one point, a waitress said "oh, if you want a cabana, go back downstairs and outside and ask someone in front." uhm..i think we just did that and we were not about to march back down the flight of over crowded stairs to ask for a VIP service, they should come to us.

so finally, we found someone who could help us (after 30mins of standing around) and took us to the first table she found and said "there..you guys can sit there" she left without taking our orders, came back after 15 mins and asked what we wanted...so we ordered a grey goose bottle, 6 redbulls and mixers to start with....the mixers came first. funny thing was we needed a refill on our mixers before we even got our damn vodka! it took that long..seriously. when it finally came, our hostess poured our drinks. she didn't do a great job..she almost finished the bottle in just 4 glasses of greygoose/redbull mix. she was in a hurry to finish it. she came back with a $670 bill for the vodka. i seriously thought, it was not worth it at all. I've been to other clubs in vegas and this is the only club that treated their VIPs poorly.

I looked around and none of the bigger cabanas were full and a lot of vip tables were not even occupied. in a business perspective, this place is going down the drain. come on? don't they make more money getting VIPs than serving individuals? They seriously need to hire a better marketing and management staff. Oh, and by the way, we got kicked out of Tao Beach at 2:00pm, they said we needed to go downstairs. Apparently, they close that part of the club or not serve any more drinks after 2pm. hmmm.... I thought I was in vegas???

Bottom line, if you are up for mediocre VIP service and crowded venues, then sure, Tao Beach is for you. But if you want to be served luxuriously with the hard earned money you want to spend, then go somewhere else.
