What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Tao Asian Bistro is an Asian fusion restaurant and nightclub concept that Marc Packer and Rich Wolf founded in New York City in 2000, later partnering with nightlife promoters Jason Strauss and Noah Tepperberg, owners of the Manhattan club Marquee, to grow it into the flagship brand of Tao Group Hospitality. The Las Vegas location opened inside The Venetian in 2005 and, according to Wikipedia's article on the restaurant revised August 29, 2026, had become the highest-grossing independent restaurant in the United States by 2007. The Venetian's own dining listing for Tao Asian Bistro, checked September 7, 2026, gives the restaurant's address as 3377 South Las Vegas Boulevard inside the resort and lists it among the property's current restaurants. A Yelp listing for the restaurant, updated in September 2026 with more than 4,700 photos and 2,600 reviews, independently corroborates that Tao Asian Bistro is still receiving customers at that address.
