Bottle Service Question...

[ashroid]

Question:

I can't seem to find my receipts right now and am trying to figure this out on behalf of a friend. She needs some help planning a budget, so I'm throwing this out there.

How are bottle service charges calculated? For example, if a bottle is 400.00, I'm aware that the following charges apply:

8% NV state tax
20% gratuity
10% L.E.T. (if applicable)

Are the charges calculated only on the bottle:
400.00 x 8% (state tax) = 32.00
400.00 x 20% (gratuity) = 80.00
400.00 x 10% (L.E.T. if applicable) = 40.00

That would total: 512.00 (no L.E.T.)/552.00 (with L.E.T.)

OR

400.00 + 8% = 432
432.00 + 20% = 518.40
518.40 + 10% = 570.24

I usually just throw in 200.00 -300.00 per head, but I'm helping a girl plan this for a bunch of girls so...you know that means.

& yes, they do want to do bottle service (it's a milestone birthday for one of them).

Thank you all.

Minimum x 1.281 "no let tax"
Minimum x 1.381 "with let tax"

Thank you! That just made it easier!

They're supposed to charge tax only on minimum, not including tip.

What I tell my friend is that each bottle would run for about $600 including the tax and gratuity. It could either b a lil higher or lower but it all depends on what type of bottles they want to get and what size.... hope this helps

Thanks. so this is based off maximum capacity? does XS have this? I was thinking about maybe doing BS there

Marquee is the only place that I know for sure does LET. We didn't pay LET at XS, Tryst and Surrender last time I was there. That could have just been the night we were there, but its only been mentioned on the forums relatively recently.

Isn't Vegas tax 12%?

edit: nevermind that's just for the hotel rooms, not bottle service (8.1%)
