TAO Beach Dayclub is an inviting Balinese-inspired tropical oasis filled with lush vegetation, located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip on the roof of the Venetian Hotel Resort and Casino. Rockwell Group created a new Las Vegas ritual, filled with multi-sensory experiences and detailed design elements that build on the legacy of spectacle and shared experiences established at the TAO Las Vegas nightclub and the original TAO Beach, which opened in 2007. Two bars, 21 cabanas, a DJ Booth, and several feature art installations—including two sculptures by Daniel Popper, a South African installation artist and sculptor—create a backdrop for a variety of experiences, from intimate gatherings with friends to transformational music performances and events. Guests are welcomed into the dayclub by Popper’s monumental pair of sculptural hands at the escalator entrance covered in intricate carved Henna tattoos. Rockwell Group created a neutral palette with pops of orange and warm wood tones. Rustic, natural woven elements such as rope, thatch, and rattan are used throughout the FF&E.

One of the two main bars that face the pool, the Island Bar is also located closest to the DJ Booth. A turquoise glazed ceramic mosaic at the back bar complements a light stone mosaic bar die and blue marble countertop. A feature sculpture in bronze metal brings drama to the bar.

A patterned porcelain tile floor delineates the larger of the two bars, located at the east end of the pool deck. A backlit metal screen at the back bar casts a warm glow on the yellow quartzite bar top with a coconut shell tile bar die. Popper’s 15’-foot-tall sculpture, entitled ‘Tendai’ crafted of glass, fiber, reinforced concrete, and fiberglass with a steel sub-frame, overlooks the pool in front of the bar.

There are 21 cabanas in total, including 7 VIP cabanas located near the Island Bar and 3 behind the DJ Booth. Inspired by the floating islands of Bali, the cabanas have a tensile fabric ceiling, patterned porcelain tile floor, and a fabric panel back wall that draws on classic Ikat textiles.
