The slogan goes, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Drum troupe Tao, however, thinks a successful show in Sin City could be the springboard to bigger things around the world.

The globe-trotting wadaiko (Japanese drum) performance group has entertained some 6.5 million people in 22 countries since it debuted on the international scene at the 2004 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world's biggest theater event.

Known for energetic and showy performances, the troupe has reportedly set its sights on the challenge of performing in Las Vegas, the glitzy mecca of showy performances. It's a style that's a bit of a change from traditional, drum-oriented wadaiko performances.
