TAO at The Venetian opens with a temple-room foyer, then a 10,000-square-foot dance hall built around a giant Buddha. Thursday through Saturday hip-hop and open format.

TAO Beach reopened atop The Venetian in 2022 with an Asian-garden build, two pools and Thursday through Sunday daytime DJ sets from March through October.
