Tao in Las Vegas

-

I don't always get it. I love Vegas. I used to live there and I did well and had the time of my life. When it comes to the club scene though, Vegas runs at the bottom of the top 10 to places like South Beach, Ibiza, Madrid, Berlin, Dublin, Manhattan and many more. Most South Beach clubs are what Vegas really wants to be. Vegas is tame compared to most of these places.

The two that come close are Pure and Tao. Well, Pure used to until they installed the Worst DJ in America, DJ AM. Now Tao stands alone at the top of the Vegas heap.

Their Wednesday nights are easily one of the best nights of the week with Robert Oleysyck spinning throughout the night. This guy started the Vegas ultra-club scene by taking over Utopia on Saturday nights and making it go completely insane. Now at the weekly, "Sutra" you can hear him whip the crowd in to an absolute frenzy. He's probably one of the most under-rated DJ's on the West Coast and is worth the trip to Vegas just to hear him. Free sushi with bottle service is a nice touch too.

Food at Tao is excellent and worth exploring. I've never been a fan of eating and partying at the same place, but Tao makes a decent argument for it. Plus, eating there makes it a lot easier to get in on a packed night.

Robin Leach is a whore for Tao in his blog. I have a feeling he's writing about it all the time because this is the new hot place for celebs and they won't let him in unless he's pimping them. The guy can't seem to write about anything else, to the point that his blog is starting to just look like a big commercial for them.

If you're clubbing in Vegas, it's a good location, a fun place, and a perfect club to hit up with your group of friends. If this club wasn't in Vegas and was in one of the aforementioned cities, it would never work just because Vegas brings the type of vibe needed to make it work. (Yes, I know about Tao in New York and it is *much* better).

If you're there on a weekend, you *will* see a celebrity there, which is always fun. Check Tao out and let me know what you think.

New Absinthe's on the market

-

Only 8 months after real absinthe has become legalized in the U.S., the importers and overseas producers have really started taking advantage of the buzz and mystique that absinthe holds and launching like crazy here. With more absinthe launches than vodka lately, it may not be long until the brands are just as gimmicky. Three new absinthe's have launched this week in hopes of garnering early market share in a soon-to-be-crowded market. La Fee Absinthe Parisienne is made in Paris and has been around for a while as it's been sold in 20 countries for the last 10 years or so. The product is made by traditional standards and the owner of the recipe still approves each batch of La Fee. For a while, Lucid Absinthe was the only one you could get in the US as it wasn't made from the traditional Grand Wormwood (until March of 2007) so it could get away with going around the law. The producers guessed that the stuff that was considered a fake (but still very flavorful) wasn'

Some thanks and virtual bartender

As of last week we averaged over 1,000 users per day. That's pretty damned cool. I'm surprised to see it myself considering how poor we rank on Technorati, but Performancing.com doesn't lie! In case you live under a rock, the Virtual Bartender are girls that do as you command, just like any good bartender does. They each have a huge list of commands and the most recent version has two girls. The shot pictured is them doing Star Wars. But they make out, shake ass, and many other things (no nudity, but plenty of cheesecake). They seem to do a lot of stuff except being able to make a martini. Brilliant.
