Bachelor party help

[jdmiller]

Going to Vegas August 29 - 31 for a Bachelor party. 9 guys. Time in vegas it's short, so basically looking at a lower tier club on Thursday night and we will do a strip club on Friday. Group is mostly mid 20's to early 30's.

Budget and time are short so not looking to get in to a top tier clubs with that many guys and no budget for table service. What is our best bet to limit time in line and stay to around $100 per. I know gallery is not known as a great club, but I noticed they do an unlimited drink special for wells.....but if you do this does it includes cover and would we wait in the general admin line? Also, think there is a groupon for bottle service there which sounds like a decent deal. Group is not big club goers, but would like to do one. Is there a better option with these limitations than gallery?

Strip club I think we are close to deciding on. Looking to do a couple bottles so will be contacting Sophie at OG to see what she recommends.

Thanks for the help

Thursday I would do table service at Tryst and get the 2 Goose for $450+tax tip, which would look like 1150 after autograt/tax, but before host handshake, putting you at 128/each + host/security tip and you get 4 bottles for 9 guys. Just my preference though.

Thanks, couple of noon questions here.....
1) is the tryst deal advertised or something from one of the hosts here......I am assuming with a group of 9 we would be required to buy 2 get 2 and could not do b1g1?
2) what is a typical host tip?
3) any other expenses we would have in there?

I'm headed to Vegas for my Bach party soon, July 11th-14th, (Thursday-Sunday) and my group has a similar mindset... granted we are a group of 12... but still interested in a similar trip.... Looking to go to a bar/club that isnt one of the big names, since we are staying at PH, might check out Gallery.

And also started checking out OG deals with Sophie, seems to be the way to go. I will be sure to report back but I would be also interested in what else more experienced people can offer, advice wise on what we are looking for...?

I wouldn't say it's advertised exactly....but when contacting the host ask for it and the fact that you asked for it shows you are knowledgeable regarding it.

The amount of the host tip ranges depending on if you care about location, if you are looking to build a relationship with the host, etc. Personally I tip $100 a bottle and it has served me well with good locations and bottle deals.

Expenses will be cost of bottle(s), 20% auto-grat, 8.1% tax, host tip, security tip, runner tip. I start out with $20 each to the runner and security and tip them again as the night goes on if I have them help me out with anything. Then keep in mind that things like water or redbulls will cost you extra. Personally I just get one of my mixers as Orange Juice and if anyone wants a non-alcholic drink just have them drink the OJ.

Doing a combo bach/bachelorette trip. If you are on a limited budget another option is the lounge route. Light Group has some good deals for Guys Night out. Good for 6 people but if you're running with 12 just double the order. Click on VIP package when you get to the link.

Also, the 2 goose for 450 isnt b1g1, goose at Tryst on a regular night is $375+tax+autograt+etc.
