Best Options?

[LSUfan88]

Me and my Friend will be going to Vegas in August..14-19th staying at PH. ..We want to do the club scene but from reading this board seems its mainly groups doing vip/bottle service etc etc...which just for two guys seems pointless..but we dont want to sit in lines forever also. What's our options or best way to go about it?

Also suggestions for clubs on each night? Sunday-Thursday.

Thanks in advance,

(sorry I'm a vegas noob )

Read Mikey Tantalo's post before yours. That's what I'd do.

For the most part, I don't waste my time anymore trying to rope chicks at a club. Women are a hot commodity at a club and most women know it (even the DPs). I'd say, go 1/2 cut before you get to the club, snag a doorman or host (politely) and do the handshake.

I can count on one hand the number of women I've met that don't know that guys will chat them up just so they can walk into a club with them (I learned this a long time ago going to Tao). It seems a place like Marquee is even more strict about this now.

what do you mean 1/2 cut?

and how exactly do i approach the doorman? do i just go straight to the front of the line and say "hey how can we work out a deal?" and handshake him some cash? or what? i dont want to look stupid walking straight up to someone offering money and then be turned down because i did it totally wrong

When I mean 1/2 cut, I'd already drank about a 1/4 to 1/2 of a 26'er (I think it's called a fifth in the US).

Personally, I don't go in cold. I look around and see the guy with the clipboard. That's who I ask first. Many times that's the person with the guest list and/or table reservations list.

If you want to go in cold and just walk up to a staff member, you could start off with something like "Hi. My friends and I are looking to get in tonight. Whom should we talk to about getting taken care of?" or something like that. But, seriously, I don't know what to say. Like I said, I don't go in cold. Maybe someone else can suggest something better.

thanks for the tip.

realistically how much are we talking about when "taking care" of the doorman...

coming from a doorman.. dont waste ur time with girls.. just take care of the guy at the rope.. pay cover.. 1 hour turned into 10 seconds....

so... yeah.. and bottles for 2.. uhm.. whats the easiest way to pull girls.. bring em to your table and get em a drink!

Going early even works for Marquee? Going in June and really want to check it out. How early should I be there, and if i get stamped can I walk right back in there?

I'd say no. Also depends on what kind of talent they have there on that day. When they have big name people they open early too, like 8:30pm. If you were to do the early thing you'd need to be there at 7:30pm. That's crazy early. You also need ratio if you're doing the list or general admission.

Thanks for the information!!

I'm a very generous person when I start drinking so I'll be definitely offering up a free drink or two to any ladies willing to help out my friend and I.

I've typically have gone with groups of guys in smaller numbers (3-4 people). I've never had any difficulty getting in anywhere without using a host or getting bottle service. As others have mentioned as long as you get there about an 30-60 minutes before the place opens you should have no problem getting in. Get stamped and come back later when the place is hopping. I'll also state that the only place this doesn't seem to work right now is at Marquee. Was there this past weekend for Kaskade and it was a madhouse. When I left at 3:30 there was a ridiculous line to get in still. I asked a couple different doorman early on (got there at 9:30) if we (my girlfriend and I) could come back in after we left and he said it was subject to capacity. However, you can buy GA tickets in advance on there website and will have no problem getting in as long as you walk in along side a girl (1:1 ratio is true).

I used to be absolutely against going early and with some places you don't have to but went to XS early, like 10:30, walked right in, got drink passes, got drinks, and got the pick at who we wanted to hang out with! Worked out GREAT!

[supremyecy]

The one thing that people forget is to get to the club semi-early, aka before 11 and it shouldn't be a problem

yep, went to jet on a weekend day and got there at like 945, 15 minutes before they opened. (i believe that was the time, either way i know it was 15 minutes before they opened) noone there at all! a friend and i were the first in line. as soon as they opened we were in. GRANTED.. it was dead for a while until it finally picked up. BUT... it was fine with my friend and i. we were already pretty wasted, so we just went to the bar and had a couple of beers. before we knew it, the place was packed and it turned out to be a great time! i dont mind sweating it out for an hour or so because at least we wont have to wait in lines, and get right up to the bar as well.

Best solution to the 1:1 ratio: find some girls in line, ask to join their group and offer to buy them a drink once you get in

Going early even works for Marquee? Going in June and really want to check it out. How early should I be there, and if i get stamped can I walk right back in there?

From what I've heard Marquee requires at least a 1:1 girl:guy ratio in their GA line. Guy groups should contact a host and get on a guestlist

+1 on this. I went there at 2am not walking straight. I was on the list, texted a friend, but figured he was busy. So, I walked into the general admission line. I didn't even get a chance to walk into the line when I got politely asked to get out.

Luckily, my friend came shortly thereafter and I walked right in.

I think the 1:1 ratio is for all night.
