Just got back yesterday from a whirlwind weekend in Las Vegas. The official reason was that I was there to support CES, but since I wasn't working the booth, I really was just there to be there. ;-) On Saturday night a bunch of us checked out the new Tao, and lemme tell you, it's pretty hot--even when you compare it with the original and venerable Tao NYC.
Quick observations:
Tao LV wins --
- they have a nightclub next door
- they had porn stars hosting the party at the nightclub next door
- they have better service
- they don't make you wait for an hour after your reservation time (imagine that!)
- it's the original
- hotter people (on a non-porn star convention weekend)
- balcony seats have better views of the giant Buddha
- the kobe beef is served in a more reasonable (8 oz) quantity
- the sushi is cheaper ;-) (well, aside from the $24 dollar piece of toro that we almost ordered the last time we were there)
During the week, I was also (unfortunately) introduced to the game of Pai Gow Poker. As anyone will tell you, I am the worst gambler in the world--in that I have the worst luck and zero skills. So Arielle introduces me to Pai Gow Poker which is the most fun card game because you can actually not win OR lose on any given hand. For bad gamblers like me, that means I can play for 4 hours straight and only lose $15 dollars -- sweet.
