A coworker and I ate here after our last night working a multi-day event in Vegas.  We were EXHAUSTED and grabbing the redeye a few hours later back to Boston.\n\nLet's say this first: every restaurant in Vegas over-salts their food, because it's part of the bigger plan to drink your face off.  Knowing this, I can't really complain about how salty the food was (which it was), because that's just sort of the foundation that Vegas sets for you.\n\nMy coworker and I shared steamed dumplings, a sushi roll, and an order of the pad thai chicken.\n\n...it was all REALLY delicious.  I was honestly pretty shocked.  I come to Vegas about 4 times a year for work, and I've managed to eat at my fair share of restaurants on the Strip.  I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.\n\nWe also got an excellent table in the back of the room, but I think that's because a coworker called ahead to her contact at Tao for us, since she'd done a reception there recently.  Not sure if that affected our service, but the waiter was very friendly and chatty.
