I have a dilemma

[NyceGuy]

+1...a table (and the experience) is worth the cost in my opinion.

[tombrokaw]

As I said I'm fine with bottle service but I'm not sure I can convince the others. Maybe if I give them a more detailed financial comparison.

Don't underestimate the value of having a place to sit after partying so much too!

True fact!!

But if you're rolling with a big enough crew and depending on what club you decide on I bet you would be saving money with bottle service. Your gf can get in by herself and all you guys split the bottle service price. Anytime, in my humble opinion, you're rolling with over five guys and you have a bad girl/guy ratio - bottle service seems to be the best option.

I had no idea she was even going to be there, so no haha. She's coming to Nokia Theatre here in L.A but I don't have any money for it. I'd pay just to see how ridiculous her costumes get. But dammnit if her songs aren't catchy as hell!

May I suggest the official December thread: http://forums.jackcolton.com/showthread.php?t=2330

I'm a little surprised at the advice here...
I'm a big fan of option #4.
I had the same concerns that you have after leading my crew down there a few weeks ago, that they wouldn't listen to me about the dress codes and I didn't want to get in when they were outside, etc, etc. Luckily I was able to convince them.

Show them this site, show them the pictures of all these JCers partying down and basically scare them into being ostracized for not even trying. Be prepared to leave them at the door to fend for themselves the first night, and then go shopping the next day.

I'm dying to see your friends, pm myspace or facebook to me and maybe I can lean on them. I must assume that you are talking about the men, women will get in unless something is really wrong .

Option 4 is breezing your way through the club while your friends jaws are hanging and you and your girl are VIPed right in. Then berate them the next day for not listening to your sage advice as the leader of Mission Vegas.


Of course I'm saying this all in jest. It does boggle the mind that people won't listen to your obviously learned and kind benevolence and that they would dare dispute someone who has the genius to use this forum. and Finally for the actual bit that may help you (if everyone else hasn't already)

Good advice. The girls are all about dressing up. So that's not a problem. Except for one of the girls. I think I'm getting through to the guys. I was a little more explicit this time about some people just plain not getting in. That may have scared them.

I would never want to leave them at the door of course. That would just put a sour taste on the whole night.

You should let the girls convince the guys to dress up. Girls have ways to influence men...

I have a question about bribing the guy with the clipboard.

What are the specific logistics of such a move? Do I just walk up and put money in his hand, with the understanding that 20-30 per person is the going rate? Does he then give it back if he doesn't accept the deal? Or do I actually ask him what the rate is to get in instantly? And then I count out the money and hand it to him?

How hidden does this transaction have to be?

[dnix]

theres a guide on the website. dont put money in his hand. talk to him first. then be discrete about the exchange.

[McNulty]

There is another option which you can do to at least motivate them, get as much paid for as you can up front. Maybe a wanttickets event for tao or tryst will show up while you are there, do the palms one night, heck stretch the truth a touch tell them you already promised the host "X" amount as a tip on your CC if you dont show (assuming you do prearrange with a host) .....


Works 2 ways
1) Already on the list, less hassle for you once you get there

2) They are locked in, money spent....much easier to tell them "look I dont want to see you run into the wrong doorguy after you have already paid the money, better safe then sorry, dont want to have to cab it back and forth an extra time, etc" You arent the bad guy, telling them they need to dress the part better, you are just being a good friend making sure they get thier money's worth.
