  • 25 dudes to tier 1 club - use indepedent host??

    hey,

    i know this has been covered somewhat before, but i'm a large group (20-25 dudes) planning on going to xs on friday and tao on saturday. we have no problem spending money and have been recommended a few direct hosts through friends. given the large group size, a buddy is convinced we need to use an independent host for an extra $1k+ cost.

    to me it seems like a scam for folks that have never hit a vegas club before, and this ain't my first rodeo. i figured if we use a direct host, pay up and get there on time, we'd be fine. but i don't want to take a big risk, and acknowledge that a large group of dudes is the last thing the bouncer wants to see and want to ensure a good table (or two if needed).

    any thoughts from those who have been through this or work at the clubs?

    thanks

    No reason whatsoever to use an independent host if you're getting bottle service. Just contact the direct hosts and work out the details.

      A host that works at the club has way more pull than an independent host. You're much more liable to get bumped with an indy host, especially I'd think with a group that size. In all fairness, with a group that size you'll need a pretty decent tip for your host whoever you use, but start by talking to the hosts at XS and Tao and see what sort of deal they can get you.

        1.) You should contact the host directly

        2.) You better have a mound of cash to spend

        3.) You should shove a rabbitt's foot, four leaf clover and a 7 of Hearts in ever persons pocket.

        25 guys is insane. They rarely let sausage in by the pound but you are talking by the ton!

        If I were in your shoes, I would split up and meet up inside.

        You can get tables that accomodate all of you. Just know that they cost anywhere from $25,000 to $30,000 on a peak night.

        Good Luck!

          I know JC.com discourage against it but I’ve used an independent host and I get where you’re coming from...

          On one trip I had a specific table location I wanted… The direct host was requesting more overall money (after grease) than the Indy host who guaranteed me the exact table I wanted a week ahead of time…

          I happened to use Noah Auspitz listed on Jack Colton's Direct Contact List…


          There is some comfort in knowing that everything is paid for with large numbers of people...

          Going independent you can have bottles, tips & grease pre paid...

            I prefer direct hosts, but some indy hosts do have great relationships and pull. If going the indy route definitely use either the 2 Jack recommends, or one that is a host you've used before, or a recommended by a solid direct host.

              I can tell you from experience that it's better to use direct hosts in all cases, even with a party this size.

              I recently set-up a bachelor party in Vegas for 33 (yes, 33!) guys. By going through a direct host, they were able to be straight up as to what the minimum was (in this case, 10 bottles) and where they would be seated.

              Then we built in a nice handshake for dealing with the hassle of a huge all-guy party and they were given good-to-better-than-average seating for their spend.

                Still use the direct host. Get a couple of cabanas next to each other and you will be fine!

                  I just booked a bachelor party for 44 guys at chateau. It's all in your approach. These guys were cool as hell, very upfront, and didn't expect to get the beat tables in the house.

                  If you're trying to go to XS for MDW weekend just plan on having your party scattered. I highly doubt they're going to book all of you guys together. I'm guessing it's going to be at least 7500 per 10 guys.

                  Since tao is so small you can almost guarantee that you won't all be in the same place.

                  If I were booking you for chateau I would put you all in 3 cabanas next to each other, so you may be better off with the outside of XS on Friday and the outside of marquee on saturday or something like that. I don't have anything against tao but I just don't see it happening and you being happy.

                  Email me or text me if you need some help. (today is my day off) I'll be more than happy to set you up with the guys at those clubs that can get this done.

                  Cheers!

                    How the hell do you coordinate a group that large?!

                    Sounds like a nightmare, I can't think of that many people I would even want to go to Vegas with.

                    Definitely divide and conquer haha, it'll ease your headaches...

                          Why in hell would you ever want to go to Vegas with 25 dudes? I try to keep my total group 10 at a MAXIMUM, and that's only if there's at least 4 girls.

                          If I were you, I'd split up into 3 or 4 groups and get tables, or get two cabanas.

                          Tao, split into groups, and plan on being seated far apart.


                          However... Having multiple tables will be GOOD. Scout talent in different parts of the club plus smaller groups of guys are less intimidating for girls than a shitstorm of cock.
