Friday night advice!

[tomgorman]

Hi,

I’ve an upcoming trip to Vegas in October and was wondering if you intelligent people of Jack Colton could hook me up with some table service advice…

Background:-

5 lads from England, late twenties to early 30’s, 7 days in Vegas! Staying at the Wyndham Grand (free from work)

2 of the group are booked in the Cosmo on Friday and Saturday night so I think we will be going to Marquee prob Saturday day and night.

I am the only one to have had bottle service in Vegas so the others don’t really understand the concept of it but I think I’ve talked them into trying it out, especially as there is a group of lads I don’t want to have any problems getting in places.

We land on a Thursday, but as we are 8 hours behind over here and the 11 hour flight I cant see us getting much further than a bit of a strip crawl.

But on the Friday I am thinking its going to be a good time to get some bottle service. That way if the group have a good time we can get it again later in the week.

So I just need some recommendations for Friday night, my only table service experience was at the Bank on a Saturday night which was really good just the company I was with was a bit ‘stiff’, I was a guest of another party so didn’t pay which was a bonus. Also if you could give me a rough price guide for 3 bottles of Grey Goose including host, waitress, security tips etc that would be great.

No one really has a big budget but I think most of my mates are looking at about $400 a day as a budget but not planning on hitting a club or getting table service all 7 nights.

All advice welcome!

3 bottles of Goose will cost you about $495 apiece at the high-end places, plus 8.1% sales tax, 20% gratuity, and then the various handshakes to host/busboy/security.

All told, you'd be looking at $1,485 for the alcohol.
+ $121 in tax
+ $322 in automatic gratuity
+ $300 handshake to host
+ $20 handshake to busboy
+ $20 handshake to your security guard
TOTAL: $2,268

Brett, you’re an absolute gent. Pretty much the total I was thinking of.

Just been looking at some info on XS and Tao and the prices are quite a bit cheaper at Tao. But I’ve heard nothing but good things about the place! Might have to hit both!

Just a little pointer. When you hand off $20 tip to the busboy, you can kindly request that he brings you some unopened water bottles from the tables he is cleaning up. 99% of the time they glady oblige. Not everyone drinks to party at my tables, so water is essential.

Thanks for the tip...

Quick question...

Whats a busboy??

The guy that cleans up after you lol. He brings cups, shot glasses, etc... hes there to assist the server. The technical name is "Server Assistant."

If you want a table at XS on friday hit me up. Its a 4 bottle minimum though. I can do 3 bottles at tryst.

Thanks Anthony, I'll be sure to get in touch closer to the time!

At Moon, Rain, Ghostbar and Playboy our bottles of Goose are $475 +20% gratuity to your server. There is no tax on top of that. This includes mixers, some redbulls, fiji and access to all 4 venues.

So you're looking at $1710 total + whatever tips to various people you feel are necessary.

and 3 bottles will give you a great shot at a really good table.

Thanks for the reply Phil.

We are all up for going to the palms one night.

As you have 4 bars/clubs do people usually go to one bar early on then naturally migrate to the others?
