TAO LAS VEGAS
Party seekers who wish to reach enlightenment on New Year's Eve should congregate at Tao. The nightclub features a 20-foot Buddha that presides over celebrations. But that's where the spiritual part ends.
This combination restaurant/lounge/nightclub is throwing a New Year's party featuring guest host Paris Hilton. Located at the Venetian Hotel Resort Casino, Tao will have an open bar from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and food servers will be offering selections from its Asian Bistro. The venue has three rooms encompassing 40,000 square feet, and each will have D.J.s spinning records well into the wee hours.
Advance-purchase tickets are $200 (subject to change and availability). Tickets are available online at
www.taolasvegas.com. For more information or table reservations, call 388-8588. Valet service for Tao is available directly in front of the Venetian.
