We have to embrace the tourism. It allows a city our size punch up  way higher than it should. We have a huge airport, tons of nice restaurants, world class hotels......heck we just got 4 Michelin sta

Between this and the one at O-Town West, I wonder whether they have the financing to build them.  Nobu, though, is an entire resort like Conrad Evermore...a much larger investment...

I think Nobu has the financing. Not sure about the Tao group. Outside of some press releases, nothing else. Tao is a hospitality firm who manages restaurants and nightclubs in the big party night life cities such as NY, Vegas, and Miami. I don't think they ever would have had to front the kind of money for an entire hotel with the nightlife buildout before and not sure they are capable of doing it all by themselves.

I wonder if they are partnering with Unicorp.  Isn't Unicorp the ones actually building the Marriott Vac Club HQ building at O-Town West?

Yes, they are partnering with Unicorp:  https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tao-group-hospitality-announces-plans-for-the-first-ever-tao-hotel-301672683.html

Also, Tao Group is owned by parent company Mohari, no stranger to luxury hotels and investment in their portfolio:  https://moharihospitality.com/portfolio/

Well that is good from the financing standpoint. However, that press release from 2022 says a 2025 opening. There has been zero movement other than those press releases during the fall of 2022. No followup press announcements, the Tao group web page doesn't list anything upcoming either. Is there any filing for construction with the county? If not, then they are at best very delayed and at worst, a dream project that fell apart.

I still don't get where exactly the Tao footprint is gonna be...the lot between that office building and Darryl Carter is very narrow...
