BS taxes

[TeamDoin]

So I just recently made all my reservations for my trip coming up in July and I'm trying to get a reasonable estimate of how much I'm going to spend. I know theres an 8.1% sales tax and 20% gratuity. Are those the only ones??

If you're going to Marquee or there's a big time DJ playing, there could be a 10% LET tax as well (usually seen at Marquee).

Don't forget the other tips (hosts, security, runner)

That's what you'll pay to the waitress when she brings your bottle.

Red Bull is extra (usually about $8 a can) and water is extra (usually about $7-9 per bottle).

Regular mixers (cranberry, orange, club, pineapple, etc.) are included with your bottles.


Don't forget a cash handshake to your host for setting up the reservation and walking you in. If you got 1 bottle, you're looking at about $75-$100. If you got 2 bottles, you're looking at about $150-200. If you got 3-4 bottles, $250 should be good.

Good tip! Its pretty much common sense now to include that in your table collections if you are organizing.

Yea I already know all about the handshakes for the bouncers and what not....I just wanted to get a good estimate on what the actual bill will come out to.

I appreciate all the tips..
