Itinerary critique/advice

if your reservation is with Patrick it is not getting bumped as long as you get there by 1030-1045. Just shoot Patrick a text the day of at around 4pm and confirm it with him, and if he is not at XS when you arrive he will direct you as to who to ask for.

as for xs tao, id choose XS with a table AND without a table, but i know there are alot of people that will say Tao....kind of a toss up

Thanks!

Forgive my ignorance but what does one miss out on if you don't get a table? Trying to convince my buddies that a table would be worth it! haha..

basically youll get in no problem, youll spend about the smae money wise without the headaches of fighting to get to a bar and you have a place to call home so your friends wont lose it each other, I think its well worth it!

Pretty much what I figured, thanks all appreciate it!

Have any of you guys been to Wet Republic or Rehab, what the word on each? From what I know Wet Republic is a bit more mellow than the rehab.

[nyc2vegas]

yeah it is more laid back, I think wet republic is favored over rehab boardwise

[GL4662]

Thanks!

So as far as daybeds/tables/cabanas are they worth it for a part of 5 at either the wet repub or rehab?

im gonna have to defer to the pool party experts on this one

[dnix]

I wouldnt say wet is more mellow. Maybe a bit more mature. Id expect to see a fight at rehab, before wet. Rehab is overpriced in my opinion. I did have fun there though. Biggest downfall at rehab is the bathroom. The line gets VERY long.

I honestly havent been to a pool party that wasnt fun. I enjoy all of them. Wet is my favorite though. Then Ditch and Rehab.

i agree with dnix on the club itinerary, and nyc on not planning too much, especially when it comes to meals. i noticed a couple of mornings you actually have breakfast planned, ha! if i've had anything resembling breakfast in LV it came from a mcdonalds, a starbucks, or was alcohol. and usually not before noon

if you have an iphone you can get the open table app to make reservations at some places, or a lot of the hotels have a mobile website that you can make reservations through (MGM). i've never had a problem getting a last minute reservation at the good places, but then i don't usually have a large party either. but yeah, the places you mentioned shouldn't need one anyway

as far as the IP, I didn't think it was that bad at all. and i was there for NYE 2009, for 10 days. The room was pretty bare-bones, I will say that, no decoration really, just a bed and the basic cheapo furniture, and a TV (not a flat screen). HOWEVER:

1. it was clean, the bed was decent, it had plumbing, and i wasn't there that much
2. it actually had a balcony! teeny, but you could stand on it and see a teeny bit of the street
3. i find their celebrity impersonator/"dealertainers" to be highly amusing while i drink, as well as the performances by celebrity impersonators - little richard anyone?
4. great location on the strip. i didn't have to stumble far from the main clubs, and there's a monorail stop. and its CHEAP!
5. decent (cheap) tables and they have hennessey. sold!

good way to sum things up on the IP, this was my friends and self go to hotel after high schoool for vegas. loved it, killer craps runs. wait killer craps runs, 4 hour bj special...wtf, anyway the IP has tables?

[madscientist]

i always do REALLY well there on craps

[ricky_clemons]

I've been a fan of the IP for quite some time now. I've never had any issues with the rooms (not like you are spending a ton of time there anyway) and the price and location is tough to beat.

If you gamble there and use your player's club card, they are very, very, very loyal to you.

Now they have a hash house a-go-go there too!! So there's even a great place to eat, something they were sorely lacking.

Sienna Entertainment www.siennaentertainment.com doesnt really deal with paper passes. They are a VIP Hosting company that is more like a concierge service that personally meets your group and walk you in past the line. If your looking to save money buy the paper passes but if you looking for VIP Service then go with Sienna Entertainment. We used them last year.

Personally, I've never had a cabana/daybed at Wet. I was researching the heck out of it for a bachelorette party though. Here's what I got. These are 2009 FRIDAY prices, which will be less than 2010 Saturday prices, by how much, I don't know...

Deluxe Cabana (these are the nicer of the two cabana options. They have flat screen tv, ceiling fan, refrigerator, wii, dvd player, couch and two chaise lounges out front):

Friday pricing: $1500 food/beverage min



Party Cabana (these are white chic-looking tents with couch and two chaise lounges out front – no electricity):

Friday pricing: $1000 food/beverage min



Lounge Table (two couches with table in the middle in covered area by the main bar):

Friday pricing: $1000 food/beverage min



Daybed (king size bed in sun, some come with umbrellas, some don’t – only seat about 4 comfortably):

Friday pricing: $500 food/beverage min



All the options will get your group free admission. The pricing is what you need to spend in Food/Beverage (not including tax/gratuity for host and server).


I've seen a lot of people on here recommend the Lounge Tables. They're up by the bar so you see everyone going to and from...people watching bonus, sheltered from the sun, and reasonably priced.

As for the wristbands, again, I've never used them (I'm full of useless information...), but check out this thread:

http://forums.jackcolton.com/showthr...lms+wristbands

If you do a search of "Palms Wristbands" in the forums, a bunch of info will come up.

Good luck!!

I really enjoyed Rehab, but because we were staying at the Hard Rock, we had the option of running up to our room rather than waiting in line for the bathroom, so that may have been part of why I enjoyed it so much. It is very pricey, but I still enjoyed it.
