VIP Hosts not worth it?

[kaneda33]

Before I found this forum, I was considering booking some VIP packages with various agencies for club tours/bottle service.
One package was hitting up 3 clubs in one night for $199 per person, the other was various hitting up TAO w/bottle service on Thursday and Pure w/bottle service on Friday for $525 per person. It'd be me and three other guys out in vegas for a bachelor party.

Now it seems like it'd be cheaper to book directly through the hosts listed on JC.com. I guess the concern I'd have is the chance that my table might get booked, that I might not have the table for the whole night, that i might get a table in a bad location, etc. - whereas if I booked with a VIP service they could take care of all of those concerns.

My question is that if I book with one of the listed hosts, and tip will when I arrive, will I not have to worry about any of the concerns I mentioned above?

Thanks ahead of time guys...I rambled a bit there...

Go Yankees!

It's actually the opposite. If you book directly with the club hosts, you won't have those concerns. If you book with the independent hosts, they promise you the world and next thing you know you have no table after your first bottle even though you were promised a B1G1...

that i might get a table in a bad location,
Go Steelers!!

I had the same concern when i did my first bottle service in vegas...

first off vip hosts are for super wealthy people that have nothing better to do with their money... you can have the same experience without a vip host by using the phone and tipping your own host, which JC has provided for you...

second... if you are concerned about where your table will be, try to figure out the layout at the clubs you will be doing bottle service and ask your host if you can have a table in a certain area... remember though, better the location usually demands a higher price in terms of bottle minimums...

at jet in march i did not get the table that i asked for, for our group of 12, mainly because he said that they had to sell it to the guys that were paying a bit more, and he did give us a buy2 get1 on a friday night... and free apps at stack... so i was ok with the decision...

In april i reserved a table/cabana at rain, upstairs, to see oakenfold... i told my host that i wanted that table/cabana and she said they are all booked... then she said that if i gave my credit card number to hold it and sign and fax a contract that i would be coming, she could then lock it up for us... and basically take it away from any other host that was hoping to save it for someone else.. thats what we did and it was a blast...

Good luck irl ohhh and Nice your a Steelers Fan too!!!
woot go Steelers!

Thanks for the advice fellas. Have either of you guys been kicked off a table in the middle of the night by a bouncer/waitress when you booked through one of the listed hosts? How much did you tip the host/waitress? $10-$20 per person?

What do you think about the club hopping package?

this very rarely happens, it happens but rarely. Ive only heard it happening a few times. but if you mention that you are booking thru jc.com the chances are very very slim and it would most likely be because you didnt tip anyone. the host tip would be closer to $20-$25 depending on how many people you have, I usually wouldnt tip less than $100 to the host and the waitress tip is 20% of the total bill, somtimes included somtimes not so you have to be careful when looking at your bill at the end of the night.
