About Me

I remember when I was 10 years old and sitting in my 4th Grade class and listening to our teacher talk about the significant days in our lives - those days that a person can never get back. She said, "Don't be afraid, Take a chance, You can never turn back time!" Special memories or moments that you wish you had back... "I wish I could have said this or I wish I could have done that".
It took awhile, but I understand exactly what she meant, but here's the beauty of it. Those memories or special moments she was talking about are actually right in front of you everyday! Relive those significant days in your life... say what you want to say and live the way you want to live. Time is the #1 Commodity in Life - It is the one thing you can never get Back - I Believe That!
I am a Positive Person - Very Passionate in all aspects of Life... Family, Friends, Love, Goals, and my Dreams!

Since 2000, Tony Dao has held an impressive portfolio boasting three successful grand openings for emerging bars and nightclubs in Dallas in addition to more than 300 events produced under his direction. As an up and coming nightclub promoter in 2000, Dao's creativity and operational talent was quickly identified, and immediately began producing exclusive events under Integrated Productions. As the founder of Integrated, Dao led his team in producing some of the highest grossing events on the famous streets of Lower Greenville. In 2002, Integrated gained widespread recognition for its first full runway fashion show featuring Hugo Boss, MAC Cosmetics, Maxstudio.com and Charles David. The event created a successful trend of nightclub fashion shows which included some of the world's top fashion houses like Hugo Boss, Betsey Johnson, Stanley Korshak, Von Dutch, Bernini and more.
Today, after his latest opening of M5, Dao's momentum is moving forward with Studio and other exclusive nightclub and lounge concepts. Since the launch of Eight, Vain, and Metro 5 Nightclub, Expectations are high in 2007. "I admire my cousin's vision in the days of Voltaire, Steel, and Dralion. Khanh's restaurant & lounge concepts has definitely set standards for myself and for the city of Dallas." - Tony Dao
