Average Spends with general admission?

[JTeez]

I am a complete newbie to vegas pool parties so just after some basic info.

If I was to pay entry for general admission and go fairly hard all day, what would the damage be to my wallet? and how are the lines at the bars etc?

Thanks people!

let's see....

admission = $50
8 drinks (more if buying drinks for girls) x 16 ~ $130
food = $15

looking at almost $200? Get a table...

You can just get a couch or something at EBC. Benefit is that you have somewhere to sit/stand all day - otherwise it's sitting at the side of the pool. Also don't have to mess about with getting in - just phone your host at the entrance and you're in.

I'd check what the minimums are on the Friday for 5 guys though, they might be closer to 2k.

Do you gamble at all?

When I went last month, I paid 50 in cover and ~50 in drinks from the bar.

We did presales so we got there early to have no issue getting in, Since it was relatively slow we just hit the blackjack table and got hammered on comped drinks. Only bought a handful of drinks later on.

If you go GA its about $50-$75 depending on when you guys pull the trigger to buy the pre-sales...
If you guys are the type to buy rounds for each other thats roughly $15x5=$75 per person minimum=$125 already..
or if you guys just take care of yourselves (going hard) thats about $15x5-8 drinks...do the math..

...a table is always sketchy with guys that have never done it because it seems like a lot to drop for some alcohol but once you guys are on your way back to the hotel you will probably say its worth every penny... try it out.

If you have presale tickets for EBC and arrive early, can you enter, party for a bit, then go down to the casino and then come BACK to EBC and bypass the long line, or will you have to wait?
