Calling All Beach Bums…

The reinvented TAO Beach Dayclub is a 47,000 square foot Asian-inspired tropical oasis with lush scenery, luxurious private cabanas, plunge pools, and a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system.

With the hottest entertainment lines-ups, Tao Beach Dayclub will be hotter than the Vegas sun.
South African installation artist and sculptor, Daniel Popper, welcomes guests to TAO Beach Dayclub with his TAO Goddess creation, known as Tendai. Placed in front of the temple bar, and standing 15 feet tall, Tendai greets and blesses all guests, as her deity was created for those to give thanks and to feel a sense of gratitude for their lives. Tendai originates from the female name meaning “give thanks to God” in Zimbabwean. Additionally, Tendai is the name of one of the first Japanese Schools of Buddhism, which set out to make Buddhism universal. Guests are encouraged to interact and stand between her hands, as she overlooks the pool.
Popper also designed a pair of hands as an entry piece to TAO Beach. Guests are greeted by these magnificent hands once they reach the top of the escalator, incited for guests to sit inside the hands to capture the picture-perfect moment. The pair of hands embodies parts of a mosaic design, with mandala designs in the palms. Between the art installations, food, entertainment, surroundings and ambiance- TAO Beach will be a feast for the senses. Hosts Las Vegas can help you transform TAO Beach into the perfect private event day or night!
