Cheap ass friend syndrome.

[Vegasorbust]

doing Vegas as a bargain always sucks the fun out of the whole experience

Thats what im trying to tell these people but hey can t make em listen right. Worse comes to worst fork out the coin pay for it all have a great time and learn my lesson....dont brink cheap asses to vegas. Simple enough i guess

[kenikki]

they are fun at home, but not in Vegas.

So very, very true.
Some people just don't get it.

I always had that problem on my Vegas trips. And usually its always that ''one'' dude. And mine was even worse: ''dude has so much money to blow but acts like he has no money''.

Don't get me wrong I am really generous person so if friend is rolling with me and i know he doesn't have that much money to party and wants to have a good time i don't mind paying for it. But if i know person has a good amount of dough but still wants to keep it low profile it is really irritating. In most cases i don't want to leave them behind so i usually end up spotting for them too.

But i learned my lesson multiple times, now before I invite people to roll with me to Vegas i make sure that they understand i wont go low profile and they have to participate in it no matter what the cost is.

I have a friend that is exactly like this. He buys everything in cash: cars, trips, gambling. But, when it comes to bottle service, he's the cheapest motherf*cker I know. He's so cheap he takes our sloppy seconds for girls. It's the most disgusting ever.

My philosophy is simple.......I go to Vegas solo because after all you're never really solo in Vegas!

[Staggered_UK]

This is all so true. I can't stand spending months trying to convince people that bottle service is the way forward!

The problem is that in the UK we don't do tipping, and when I tell people about the power of a Vegas handshake they actually think I'm making it up! So last time I came over, my some of my friends didn't want to tip the guy on the door for letting us jump the line. The reason? "What's the point of tipping him? We're never going to see him again"

Needless to say I was disgusted, gave the guy a massive tip from my own pocket and vowed that I was never going to Vegas with those creatures again.

So next month I'm coming out with some other mates - a bunch of air force pilots and we're taking it in such the opposite direction. The batchelor himself has paid for suites at HRH all round and has personally already put $5 grand in the drinks kitty (Mikey T and Donnie take note )

But it's not about the amounts of money, it's being in the best party location on earth which a bunch of friends that all share the same belief...we're in Vegas for 96 hours, and we're not going to waste any them sleeping or being cheap.

*Disclaimer..sorry I'm not boasting about money or anything like that, certainly not in this economic climate...we've all been starving ourselves and saving for this trip for months...hence why I'm here on a Friday night instead of being out in a club! But it will be sooo worth it!!

We all have to make sacrifices haha.

[nighthawk06si]

haha agreed on what everyone says. they'll always be friends/good friends but doesn't mean they'll always be vegas friends

I think we all have "tight" mates, if they want to go partying in vegas and save money they are better just staying at the airport!!!

Or at home.

On my first trip one of my good friends originally wasn't invited because I know he is cheap, but after he bitched I told him he could come. He didn't want to pay to get passed the line at WET so he waited in line...he never made it in. Apparently he waited for 2 hours and then when he found out there was a cover he flipped out and went back to the room. He spent the rest of the trip sulking in the room because anyone who pays to get into pools and clubs is stupid. He complained the whole flight home because we ditched him.

That's why I don't talk to some people anymore I thought were friends. Those people suck.

+1 this thread! Sucks that its like this tho.

Lol, I think we have the same friend. Same exact thing happened to me with one of my boys.

Last trip had 9 guys, only 2 made the cut for future trips.

The whole point of vegas is that you should have no intention of bringing money back with you, its all about making the most of the time that you have out there and going absoltivitely MENTAL!!!!

Sounds like you need to make new friends from the JC forums that support your cause
