Finally recovered from last weekend in Vegas. Here's my review of the latest. Friday Tao - Some of the most friendly door staff I have met, ever. A beautiful space, all the staff is de-gorgeous. Each bartender/bouncer that walked by was more beautiful than the next. Or is it just guys in suits that get me, who knows? Great tunes playing, plenty of dancing going on. The layout of the uptairs tables was a bit troubling since it seemed cramped. The shag rugs are super cute, but I give them another two weeks before they are gone! La Bete - Door staff was once again super friendly. Did not see much of the space, was outside mainly. Had a great time out there, room to dance, quieter for a chat, and a waitress always ready with another drink. Saturday Aquanox - dinner in the Venetian Restaurant Row, a bit disappointed with the service. Waiting 30 min for a reservation is not good. Food though was excellent, had duck and poached pear for dessert. I would go back there just for the pear! Pure - was very nervous about Pure!! Everyone hyped it up so much, and that line! Ick! Couldn't even imagine why people would stand in a line that long, don't remember Light or Rain ever having a line - airport style - wrapping across the casino floor like that. As we all know, its who you know and who knows you that gets you in, unfortunetly some co-workers of mine went against my advice and bought line passes, that got them nowhere!! Without my connection they would be another cow in the herd! Pure space is also very beautiful, clean lines, lots of rooms, but way too crowded and the crowd itself was not the likes of which I hang. Crowd at Tao was much better. A little disappointed but you know, at least I was there! Drais - nothing like this semi-trashy spot at 6 in the morning. It's still a fun place to go when your BAL has surpassed its point several times. All together a lovely weekend accented by the pools at Hard Rock and Mirage, sad Rehab was over, but still a party. And the kicker? White Sox to the series baby!!
