TAO is a fabulous Nightclub

I’m back from Vegas!

If you ever go to Vegas you must visit the TAO nightclub at the Venetian Hotel. It’s fabulous! It’s also huge!

I was in Vegas for a blogging convention and on Saturday night we had the Bl0ggers Choice awards at TAO from 6 to 9 pm. After the “blogger” party ended many of us stayed to enjoy the night club and try to spot the celebs that showed up for TAO’s second anniversary party. What a great night to have been at TAO.

When we arrived we were escorted to the second floor where we mingled with fellow bloggers and others involved in internet advertising. Ted was kind enough to offer us a free bar and the staff at TAO kept the drinks flowing as well as served us the most delicious finger foods. If you go to TAO you must try the shrimp and lobster won tons. They’re delicious! Of course the spring rolls, Kobe beef mini burgers, desserts and other finger foods were great too.

My husband and I had a great time talking with everyone that attended the award show. It was a lot of fun.

After 9 pm the drinks were no longer free, but that was ok! We stuck around for quite a while listening to the great music and watching the place fill up.

Since we were leaving Vegas the next day and I wasn’t feeling so well we ended up leaving at about 11 pm. Of course that was just when the stars were beginning to show up. I must be honest and say that I didn’t see any celebs. I had my camera with me and I really wanted to see who showed up at TAO but I had to leave.

After we exited the club we were amazed at the line up to get into TAO. I’d swear it was a quarter mile long! There were lots of paparazzi lining up outside the door too as they waited to catch a shot of the celebs showing up for TAOs 2nd anniversary party.

What up it’s sleeve?

The company that sets me up with posting opportunities, says that they have a big announcement coming up in the next few weeks. They aren’t giving any hints as to what this “Big News” could be, so we are left to give it our best guess.

Now I know that since I’ve been with this company I’ve seen a dramatic increase site traffic on all of my sites. That’s probably because I’m posting more often, and I’m posting about a wider variety of topics than I did in the past.

Could their big news be something that might help us increase our site traffic even more? Maybe they’re going to start their own search engine and blog directory? Perhaps rival Google and the Open Directory project? Or perhaps they are going to become partners with Google, Yahoo or MSN in some way? That would be cool.

Let’s see. They already has a forum, and a blog. They’re a growing web 2.0 company. They’ve hooked up with a web hosting company to help their bloggers create their own websites rather than use free services. They have their own reality show that they are hoping to get televised. Ohhhhh maybe that’s it? Maybe they did get a television contract?

I know that they’ve been posting on their blog lately asking the bloggers who work with them to create “Audition” videos so that they might become part of the reality show.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see, but wouldn’t that be cool if I’m right? Maybe I’ll find a way to get on the show?

I don’t think I’ve told my readers here that I write several blogs. One of the blogs that I write is called “Watching House” and it’s on the 451press.com network of blogs.

I just found out that they are having a comment contest. I believe it started on January 8th and runs through to the end of the month. You could win $500 just for leaving a comment on any of the 451press blogs – with the exception of the main 451press.com blog itself.

You see, 451press is a new network of blogs. I believe the network began in October with a call for writers for various blog topics. I answered a call for new bloggers in late November and I was signed on to write my Watching House blog that discusses the TV show House M.D..

I do write ups of House, show recaps, discuss various aspects of the show and the stars that play each character. I also spend a lot of time writing about the gorgeous Hugh Laurie and his life outside of the show.

I’m not quite sure just how many blogs are in our network now but I believe it’s well over 100 blogs. I’m sure that if you come to visit you’ll find several blogs on topics from your favorite TV shows, Favorite Celebrities, Home and Garden, Books, Sports and leisure and many other categories that you’d be pleased to read and leave a comment on for your chance to win $500.

All you need to do for a chance to win is to leave a quality comment on any of the 451press blogs. You need to write a comment that contributes to the blog, or the post in particular on which you are leaving your comment. Every qualifying comment made on the 451 press blogs between now and January 31st will be entered into a random drawing for prizes. Every comment that you leave will count as an entry. Just remember you comments must be of quality – not just a “hello, great site” as that won’t count.

Here’s a list of the prizes:

We will award six prizes to the six randomly chosen comments from this month. There will be one (1) $500 cash prize and five (5) $100 cash prizes. We will contact the winning commenters using the email address they enter with the comment. Comments made through January 31st will be entered in the contest and the winners will be announced on February 1st.

So what are you waiting for? Start at my Watching House Blog and then scroll to the bottom of the page that you’re on to see the wide variety of blog categories and visit another one of my fellow 451press bloggers sites and leave them a comment too.

What up it’s sleeve?
