It's Good To Be The King

Here's one way to celebrate July 4th. Order a bathtub of 101 bottles of Cristal and Ace of Spades to your table at Tao Vegas and then share them with Jay Z, Rhianna Jamie Foxx and Lebron James, who are sitting at the tables next to you, proving that even if you don't win the NBA title, it's still always good to be the King. Or any of them for that matter. But how did that random bottle of Corona get thrown in there?

Baller...

just what is shown in the picture there is over a 25k tab.

and if he really did get a bathtub full of cristal we are looking at more like 85-90k

what kind of an idiot is still spending over 25k on a night at tao?

Baller, you can't put a price on a good night. Also, if your shy 25k avoid the Methuselahs of Crist at Nikki beach St Tropez, and thats in euros!

i was there this weekend. lebron sat in the corner on saturday night and didnt move from behind his 5 boys. he was there for about an hour saturday night while jamie foxx pretty much karaoki'd mj for 30 minutes and then just stood in the vip section for about an hour with the mic, talking every few minutes. maybe friday night jay z and rihanna were there? ridic crowded saturday night. and over the past few years, the crowd overall in vegas has changed.
had a blast, but definitely different crowd. xs at encore friday was very very good.

was that a happy hour special? Looks like something at Thunder Jackson's on Bleecker would offer.

They usually have girls in the bathtubs @ Tao...I'd rather see some chick in a bikini in a bathtub then copious amounts of high end bad tasting champagne...

I do like the three killed bottles of Patron...expert drinkers know what the fun stuff is!

Looks like Jason & Noah are on top of the world right now...

the place went off all weekend, but thankfully we had a table each night..if not, you couldnt get a drink or move at all.
one thing that impresses me about tao is that jason is always posted up at the front door for the first few hours each night making sure his money is right. the guy knows what he is doing.

Vegas is for scum. The place is gross. XS, Tao, Jet all the same.

No doubt will be featured in the "price of fame" section of jamie foxx's future E! biopic. "Ridic" indeed. "Can't put a price on a good night" . . . I love that. The lowlives who underpin bottle service in vegas can certainly put a price on a "good night." Can we please move on to something besides cristal in a gold bathtub, posses and vip sections? Yawn.

I just looked at the pics from XS over the 4th. It's all dudes. And the girls that are there are sparse and look like she-males. Here's a tip, it's not a good club when it looks like the only cool people to hang out with are black guys wearing Ed Hardy shirts.

peace.

Tao sucks if you do not have a table, they basically rope off the normal customers to crowd around the bar and you can barley move. I think Vegas might be the only place where table service does still contribute to you having a good time. Yes you can walk around and still get drinks without a table but on crowded nights it feels like your on the four train after after a Yankee game; sweaty and gross!
