First trip to Vegas - Memorial Day weekend.

[AK2Vegas]

you're paying for a table by yourself for 8 people? wow.. i hope you get a good deal then lol. i say you just find someone here to go with instead if they aren't down to pay, cause thats kinda messed up that theyll be leeching off you. shouldnt be too hard to find someone to party with for MDW. that way your cheap friends can go stand in line and have fun there for their stubborness

yeah hit up donnie.

I can only force someone so much, ya know ... after that its like wtfever.

Ya i hope donnie responds, he said he might be able to do a B1G1 for wednesday, if so, then it wouldnt be that bad, i mean worth it for a bday celebration i guess

your budget of $1500 for 4 days will go ka-poof in one night

and like soeone said earlier, get the wristbands that are $60 for palms. the ones you linked earlier do not get you pass the lines, so youre gonna have to wait in line, and are basically paying for cover in advance

I thought that the ones you're referring to were only available on weekends? He's staying at Cosmo, so at least one night should be Marquee.

Hi Shiv

Im about the same age group as your party 21-25. How fun are the people in ur group? DONT YOU DARE pay for 2bottles on your bday by urself!! Especially on a Wednesday! Eventhough ur bday is on WED, i strongly reccommend you use Wed/Thur as "warm-up" nights and celebrate your bday heavly on FRI/SAT. It looks like your schedule is pretty set so i dont want to mess with it. Lavo is usually my go-to on SUNDAYS, I love it. Never been there on a WED but if others have suggested it-- there is nothing wrong with using one of your "warm-up" nights there. I STRONGLY suggest you visit the GHOSTBAR for your Bday Pre-Drinking b4 heaing out to LAVO on WED. The view is breathtaking and is also the PERFECT spot to have a drink & toast to your bday while looking over the strip<< MUST DO.

Thursday you said you're going to Palms-- never been there on a Thursday but i have checked it out on FRI/SAT and the VIP-All Access pass is the way to go. You get Instant access to all 4 clubs and no wait in line. Good choice-- i dont necessarly reccommend upgrading to the 3hr hosted bar unless you want to get SUPER SMASHED and not remember the rest of the night-- remember clubs dont close till 5am and the hosted bar is from 10-1am... you might over drink in those 3 hrs or you might underdrink and not get your money's worth. Either way i suggest you pre-drink at the hotel grab a large to-go cup and drink along the ride to the club.

Friday u got marquee, since ur staying at the hotel you cant lose-- try to milk the ammenties and perks as much as you can. The hotel is GREAT but i really wish you didnt spend so much on a hotel on ur first trip since you could of spent it on other cool things-- but whats done is done and the great thing its ur bday and staying at one of the top hotels!! Make the most it!!

Saturday whichever club you chose(personally i like XS for MDW) make sure you get there EARLY. Dont risk messing up ur weekend by being late...

Some pointers:: BE ON TIME!!! I normally like heading towards the CLUB by 930-10 ESPECIALLY since its Memorial day wknd! If ur early grab a drink from a cheap bar and enjoy the venue--by leaving early and something minor happens you can still have time to make the Guestlist and/or be in front of line to be guaranteed entrance.
Make sure you plan ahead and call for Guestlists, make sure you use the girls in ur party-- Girls are a form of currency in vegas-- they help you get in fast & cheaper!
Buy plenty of alcohol and ur local costco or ur favorite bargain liquor store. Make sure you only bring stuff your party likes and try not to bring too much variety. For example our party sticks to Vodka for mixing and Tequila for shots-- sometimes we bring a nice aged rum for sipping. Dont need to get too fancy a Vodka i reccommend that you can get for cheap is "Three Olives" its pretty tasty and you can get the XL Bottle (1.75L) for $20!! If your party likes tequila i suggest CABO WABO reposado for $20 for a regular size-- its smooth, tasty and wont give you such a nasty afterburn like patron. By all -means if you want the expensive popular stuff like Grey goose & Patron go for it but expect to spend 3-4x as much for products that arent neccessarly better they just appear on rap songs lol.
Also Pick if your either gonna party hard at the DAY pool party/club or the NIGHT club. If you get too wasted at one of them odds are your not gonna enjoy the other since u'll still be recovering. I like to use the pool parties as my warm-up and try to rest and relax. I have a few drinks but not enought to get me drunk-- Then we have a small meal, nap it up for 2-3hrs then get ready for the Night CLUB and drink up like there's no tomorrow!
About food, personally, i only eat one good meal for breakfast or brunch(whenver we wake up) and then moderate snack/meal after our pool party and rest up.
If you follow my suggestions your looking at $20-$30 on food daily, maybe $50 on drinks at clubs, $0-$30 on Club entrances(maybe more cause its Memorial wknd), We're talking about GREAT FUN at under $150 a day!! Just plan ahead and talk with your party and make sure you guys have a plan, if different ppl want to do different things then split into 2-3 grps if necessary. If ur REALLY keen on getting a bottle service spending $100 on W-Th will leave you with 1200 for the weekend if your party helps you out a bit you can toss 800 or so for a bottle on Friday and keep ur final 400 for Sat & "just in case" money.
I went last week spent no more than $100 day and got bottle service once but everyone pitched in. I think my total trip was$700 but that was cause i spent 200 at the outlets(clothes). I normally spend $1000-$1200 but i realized Planning ahead, being on TIME, having girls & drinking at your place can SAVE YOU ALOT of money so you can spend on other pleasures =D
How much was ur share cost for the Hotel, that place must of cost a pretty penny on memorial day wknd!
