While not surprising to those with good taste in Las Vegas blogs, this news is still huge as it involves two of the biggest nightlife companies in the world, as well as some of the most successful venues in the history of nightlife.<\/p>\n The scope of this acquisition is staggering. The newly-combined company operates 61 entertainment, dining and nightlife venues in 22 markets across five continents.<\/p>\n And, yes, we knew that off the top of our head and most definitely didn’t just copy and paste it from the official news release.<\/p>\n Some of the company’s brands include Tao at Venetian, Marquee at Cosmo, Lavo Italian restaurant at Venetian, Beauty & Essex at Cosmo, Hakkasan at MGM Grand, Omnia at Caesars Palace, Jewel Nightclub at Aria and others.<\/p>\n As with anything related to Las Vegas, there was tons of behind-the-scenes drama leading up to the Tao Group acquisition of Hakkasan Group, and were are confident our local Las Vegas journalists are feverishly digging into the story right now.<\/p>\n Just kidding. But the Wall Street Journal, Business Insider or The Guardian might take a stab at it, eventually.<\/p>\n Now seems like a great time to watch the overhead light thingy at Hakkasan nightclub.<\/p>\n![\"Tao](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/tao_hakkasan_hot_girls.jpg\")
