vegas newbie questions

[zosch]

hi everybody,

me and 4 friends from germany will stay in vegas for the next days till sunday. we want to enjoy the amazing nightlife of vegas but havent been here so far. so i have some little questions:

1) we are 5 guys and dont know any girls so far. if possible we will def bring some to the club, but if it isnt, is it possible to join the club as a "regular" guest? what is the alternative way?

2) is there a special way if there is a special DJ like ingrosso this we?

Sry for the amateur questions and the bad english

Thanks a lot,
Max

Welcome to the forum! Bringing a group of girls along will definitely improve your odds of getting in, but it's not a must. I would recommend contacting a host from the list of contacts on the main page and let them know your situation so they can give you some options. Also, many of the clubs offer pre-sale tickets on their websites when a big DJ comes in town, so you may want to check on that.

If you're doing bottle service, you don't need girls. If you're doing guest list, it helps to have girls. Either way, contact the listed hosts (http://www.jackcolton.com/hosts/) and make arrangements. Also, without women, arrive early.

thanks a lot guys! i will do that. so the chance of getting in without bottle-service or girls is not sooo bad?

are the prices at this thread: http://forums.jackcolton.com/showthread.php?t=4254 current prices?

is it always a bottle/table-combo or are there packages like 150dollar minimum drinking each person, too? and how many bottles you have to buy for five guys?

thanks a lot again!!!

edit:
another one: if i buy some tickets like the "Male - General Admission Ticket" for the avicii event, is it more easy to get in? or as hard as it is without? because in germany it doesnt matter

thanks again

There are table limits, however you would like to get to the set amount is up to you guys. the norm is just to buy bottles if im not mistaken

[Chuck]

You can do a combination of bottles and bar spend to reach the required minimum for a table. The presale tickets make it easier/quicker to get in. For 5 guys you should be able to get a table for like $800-1000 or so, which would be about 1-2 bottles and $300 in bar spend.

Edit: That $800-1000 might not work if Avicii is spinning though

[zosch]

thanks again! if we do bottle service, is the entry included? and what comes extra to the bottle price? tax,tip (how much, for whom?)

[Chuck]

Your entry is included if you reserve a table. You will also get 3 mixers (cran, soda, OJ, etc.) Red Bull costs more ($36-40/6 pack) Here's a typical breakdown for two bottles:

2 bottles at $495 = $990
Tax = $80
Server Tip = $198 (generally 20% is charged)
Host Tip = $200 ($100/bottle is good rule of thumb)
Security Tip = $40
Runner Tip = $40
GRAND TOTAL = $1548

The Host, Security, and Runner tips are at your discretion. You can tip the Host more if it will upgrade your location when you get there. You can certainly do less for the Security guy in your section and the runner, however, keep in mind these are two people that you will interact with frequently throughout the night so it's in your group's best interest to take care of them when you arrive.

Edit: You could also do 1 bottle and $495 of "bar spend" and use the same breakdown. The bar spend is a nice option if you're group has diverse taste of drinks so they can just order from the server beers, scotch, shots, etc.

Tax I believe is about 9% and they will add 18-20% gratuity automatically on your table bill and that can't be counted against your limit, so for example if you have a limit of $1,000 and just hit that then your bill will be closer to $1,300 in the end. To that you have the tips for your host, runner and security if you have one.

If you don't plan on doing bottle service and instead just want to regular then of course it is pay as you go at the bar, but don't forget to tip your bartender well.

FYI I am German too, so if you have any questions in German just message me.
