**memorial Day Weekend Early Thread***

[dawilsonbw]

hey whats up guys? first time poster on here. Me and 4 of my buddies are going to be in Vegas for Memorial Day weekend. We are all Vegas virgins. I have been reading and hearing that it is going to be a crazy weekend out there. thanks for all the tips on the forum so far. We are staying at the Mirage thursday thru sunday, maybe getting a cabana at Bare for one day, going to see Dane Cook at the Palms on Friday and trying to hit up all the clubs the rest of the time. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

make sure you have all table and cabana reservations set up ahead of time....it is going to be NUTS and if you try to do it on the fly on that weekend you could get screwed royaly. you guys will have a great time, just get anti depression meds for when you get back....youre gonna need them

Cabana and table reservations

We are working on the cabana reservations at Bare but everytime we call we get a different answer on how much it costs and how much we have to spend, etc. we are all kind of new at the table reservations thing. With a group of 5 is that the way to go? how much are we looking at spending per club on average. Where should we be going on what night? Thanks for the help.

so far you seem to be doing pretty good palms on a friday is a cant miss, since you are staying at mirage what I would do is right after you check in go to the concierge drop him/her a few bucks and tell them you are a guest of the mirage and you would like a cabana at bare for the afternoon and they should be able to hook it up OR contact Bryce Olson from this site and try to work it out through him cause light group runs bare. as for the cost I really cant tell ya exactly BUT it is memorial day weekend so you are going to drop money. at the clubs for 5 guys that weekend they will prob require 2 bottles which will run about $1100 for everything (bottles, mixers, tips taxes etc.) 225 a guy for the night for everything....really not too bad!!! remember if you do this GET THE MONEY UPFRONT!!!! the rest of the nights I would say try out tryst, xs, tao

Thanks man... i will definetly do that with Bare.. I am really looking forward to the Palms on Friday and I really want to go to Tryst and TAO one of the nights we are there. I have heard some good things about Pure, Body english and LAX too but who knows how many clubs we will actually make it to. I have heard that Rehab on Sunday is out of control, but i don't know if we will wait long enough to get in though.

Chi vegas and all others headed to vegas for memorial day weekend it's 52 days and counting! i touch down at 8:22am. i had to make a small alteration to my plan which is bringing to vegas friday morning. maybe some of forum pros can help me out. im really having problems trying to decide where i want to stay. i was thinking i would ball out of control and get a sick suite. but im thinking is it really going to be worth it as far as how much time am i really going to be in the room..I have been fortunate to always stay at a nice hotel with a nice room but this time i was thinking about going above and beyond. all thoughts weighing in would be appreciated. the cabanas and tables are not up for debate as they are the standand and not a luxury..lol..

nassau: I get there Friday also, but to answer your question, how much are you willing to spend? I have a Augustus Tower Suite at Ceasars, and past tipping the front desk $50 for a senator's suite upgrade, that's as far as i'm going. Though if i did want to OVER-do it, I would shoot for one of the Encore suites (for the look), though I don't know how easy going they would be toward the level of partying you are probably going to be doing...which once again brings us back to how much you want to spend? I say GO ALL OUT! Hefner Suite at the Palms= $40,000!

[nassau]

well my plan was to do 2 days at the palms place in the 2 bedroom suite. check it out it looks amazing (www.palmspace.com) and then sunday move to the hardrock ( for rehab and body english) that night. my budget is pretty open but i dont want to waste money when i can use it somewhere else...i've never stayed at Ceasar's how is it? it seems like an older crowd with families.

[nyc2vegas]

guys Ive done the suite thing and its really not worth it unless you can get a reasonable price...my fav was the terrace suite at mgm, its a duplex suite with a huge jacuzzi on a huge terrace overlooking strip....RIDICULOUS!!!! I would do that suite again cause you can hang on the terrace and lay out, got your own little pool etc but all the other suites you end up not hanging in. Nassau I think we discussed the palms place in the past and we werent sure how it would be, but I know now that they are awesome and real easy to access the palms pool and palms place pool and it is reasonably priced, i would stay with your gameplan with palms place and HR for BE and rehab....after all its memorial day weekend in vegas!!!.....and my sorry ass is gonna be on the other side of the spectrum in the steel city

nassau: this is my second time staying at Ceasars, and it is exactly the opposite of what you think it is. Consider this: not only does it have Pure IN IT, but between the Forum Shops, the pool, and being in the CENTER of the strip, the talent is un-matched in my opinion. Having the ability to just walk outside and right between the big boy casino's on the strip is PRICELESS. My room has the sitting area, the 2 flat screens, (one in the bathroom facing jacuzzi tub, marble in the bathroom, 4 person shower, you know...the ESSENTIALS. Palms is great, but being so far from the strip is the ONLY downfall if there IS one...but that's what taxi's are for!

aww man nyc...the first 4 drinks would have been on me!

[nassau]

chivegas that suite sounds so money. i didnt even think about the amenities you presented. we may have to pregame at your spot and do a post game at ours. the only reason we would get a sick spot is to have the room to entertain company. the things we do for the ladies i tell ya..but you hit it dead on about the palms being away from everything. nyc we did have this conversation the last time i was supposed to go but had to cancel. maybe i should stick to the script and just let it ride out. the funny thing nyc is i was just looking at that suite at the mgm like 2 days ago. so it is worth it? im glad to hear that. decisions, decisions...

[nyc2vegas]

you will not be disappointed with the MGM terrace suite, its outrageous to party in, the terrace is huge and the first floor is the living dining area and the bedroom is upstairs and separate if you can grab it I would do it

[ChiVegas]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Sorry, I need to get out of here and start hearing the ding of slot machines, and paying too much for drinks. I can't wait. Literally.
