Prices at nightclubs in Vegas

[FriarFaithful]

wow, those palms wristbands look perfect. is that only on vegas.com? is the open bar only for ladies?

what about the tao wristbands?

Your best bet with Tao is to eat dinner at the restaurant the night you want to go to the club. Your waiter will stamp your hand and you get into the club for free.

Great deal.....

Looks like a great deal but the places you can go with this deal don't look too hot. You can't get into any clubs with this deal, it is only for the lounges around The Venetian/Palazzo.

damn reading this thread got me thinking. Im looking into BS...where are you guys finding 1K minimum tables on a saturday night ?

That is a hell of a good deal, just check to make sure you like the clubs.

Seriously some of these clubs are not worth paying for BS ie a table at all. I watched Yeller at the Palms, the venue was moved from Rain to Moon. Have to wonder what happened to those that had tables at at Rain.

Also Places like Moon, Ghost Bar, etc simply aren't worth the money period. The only time you should be paying money like that is if you have a full group (all paying) and it is a tier 1 club.

BS can be a huge waste and disappointment if you pick the wrong club and/or aren't familiar with what you are doing. You can end up with a shit table.

If you don't like lines, show up early and you will get in right away.

See above! As a group of guys, by the time you've paid cover, tips, and rounds of drinks (especially when you factor in buying some drinks for girls) you'll have spent nearly $250-$300 each anyway. I know I'd much spend my money having our own table!

Ehh there's ways to spend much less than that

We pre-game hard, get there early so don't have to worry about paying extra to skip the line.

I'm a heavy drinker and the biggest tab I've had was ~$200 and none of my friends have even been close to that. That's why I can never convince them to do BS. They just don't think the "real estate" is worth it and we don't need a table to pull.

On the expensive side a mixed drink with a nice tip can run you $20 in a tier 1 spot. 10 mixed drinks is unnecessary if you have pre-gamed right.

I also don't buy girls drinks right off jump street. There has to be something there where I think I have a chance of closing.

There is a significant price difference between doing GA and BS and there's a reason for it like Brett mentioned.

But you can be very successful without BS if you pregame hard and have decent game.

I've done BS a few times and while it may be easier to get a girl's attention having a table it doesn't change much in the fact of closing.

Without BS it is harder to open but just have energy and be confident and it's still not hard.

You're right, and pre-gaming is sometimes the best part of a night, but even then it's easy to get carried away in a club and rounds, shots and drinks for girls can easily see you spend your BS money.

I've never really used the fact that I've got BS as a pulling technique. I also regularly buy drinks for girls even if I'm not interested in them sexually if we're having a good laugh...maybe it's a Scottish thing![/QUOTE]

I don't think it's a Scottish thing. I just don't do it often because while I'm not broke I'm not rich either. Rather spend my money on alcohol for myself and gambling

Ah well, each to their own. I have money to spend because I'm not a gambler.

Anywho, is it me or are the prices ridiculous just to get into these places? Most people have been quoting that we have to take a table to get in and that the minimum is around 1500$? I mean, we're not a bunch of cheapskates, but there's no way we're going to spend that kind of money to go to one of these places. We're looking to get a bottle, maybe 2, that's it.

I feel ya man, not just you. I'm planning a bachelor party and am debating whether the BS is worth it (I see why the initials are BS ) at $250+ per person it's going to be a hard sell to some members of my group. Thinking we might be better off pre-gaming hard in the room + meeting girls in the casino bars or line + arriving early

Fact: Fun can be had in Vegas on any budget....Bottle service at any of the top night clubs in the WORLD should not be compared to the price of balling at your local club...With that said, you may not need/or want an inside table at XS on Saturday night to have a great time.....This forumn is loaded with guys/and gals whose sole purpose is to act as your liason (aka Host) with any of the clubs in Las Vegas...They will try to tailor make something to fit your budget....(There a good looking girls all over Las Vegas, it just the most beautiful women you will ever see go to the top day/night clubs....)

All I know is when my group looks back at our trip the thing remembered the most was having bottle service one night.

FYI, most of my friends were a little put off by price as they tend to be cheap but thanked me afterward for setting it up.

I think BS is a must for at least one night on a trip in Vegas - it really is a whole different experience.

Had the exact same situation. My friends and I had a table at XS back in March and we still talk about how awesome it was pretty much on a weekly basis. It seemed like those in my group who were most skeptical about the price ended up having the best time.

Doing bottle service, you may wake up the next morning and check the receipt and think WTF??? But when you go back home and think back of the trip and talk about it with your friends, you wont regret it and it will be worth every dollar that you spent. Thats the way i see it.

[PhildeDouche]

Do the math and bottle service costs more per drink than at the bar, 50%-100% more. Especially at a place like Marquee that hits you with 38% on top.

Tip your bartenders well and you'll get strong drinks for $15-19 that will cost $30 through BS.

If you have the money to blow, go for BS, but it's not the type of thing to purchase if you have a car loan, income under $100k, or have school debt. No one is going to sleep with you because you have a table. It's a mere convenience factor that only the rich can responsibly afford.

[d0nnald]

for me it's not so much the liquor and drinks but it's with the extra amenities that come with buying a bottle service and table. Gives me a place to sit and talk, and i don't have to wait in any lines.

I can pre-game all I want, but waiting in long lines is the ultimate buzz kill for me.

I agree with most of what you said but who goes to Vegas to be responsible?

Also if one saves money $300-$500 for a memorable night is considered worth it by many.

BS is not about the drinks it's about having a place to sit down, a place to invite girls to sit down and rest, and avoiding GA lines. This makes a difference at places that get very crowded.

Of course no one will sleep with you just because you have a table but it makes it that easier to open, you still have to be able to close.

It'll make it easier to open, but you also receive false signals ie: chicks who will hang out with you to sit at your table but at end of night go home without you.

Without a table it might be ever so so slightly difficult to open, but if the chick hangs out with you the entire night it's a far stronger indicator than if she's sitting at a table with you.

Believe me, I understand bottle service, it's just that at the top tier clubs it's so incredibly expensive that you better not be working hard for the money you are spending.
