Attn Bottle Virgins

I just did BS for the first time last week and wanted to share a couple things I've learned along the way.

1. Always book direct, no "VIP" services needed.
2. Use a host from the "Appreciation Thread"
3. Be up front when booking how much you'll tip
4. Pay for location, its worth it!
5. If your doing multiple bottles buy high end (like Dom) at the begining of the night. My group was tired of bubbly by the time I was going to order the Dom so I didn't get any and didn't use up my minimum.
6. Bring an extra $100 for tips while inside and tip out immediately. The best $20 I spent the entire trip went to the guy working the door at the bathroom. I didn't wait in line once all night to use the bathroom since I tipped him on my first trip in. This added at least an hour to my party time for the night.
7. Don't be cheap. This will be one of the BEST nights of your life that you will probably only do once or twice. I guarantee you won't regret it if you spend a couple hundred more than you planned. Memories are priceless!
8. Don't get completely shitfaced. You'll want to remember this!

Great list.. Good advice.

I can't follow #7 though. LOL. I would be super broke if I did that every month we're in Vegas. So we're stuck to guestlist and GA most of the time haha.

Great list!

Although, the location thing varies by preference. I personally prefer the less "premium" locations

oh and #6 is money... that $20 to the bathroom guy, $20 to the security, $20 to the runnner, etc goes a LONG way to improving your night

Yeah #6 should probably be more like #2. I'd even plan on some of these tips if I didn't have bottles...especially the one at the bathroom door...soooooo worth it.

[presto]

Awesome list. always bring extra $!! thats a big one

I've never had to wait more than a minute or two in Vegas to take a piss. Not sure what or where in particular you are talking about ? He walks you past the line and saves a stall ? No one in line was like wtf ?

We were at Tao. Line was 20 deep in main room. Others may have been wtfing...he who takes care of people gets taken care of. I think this is a generally accepted principle in vegas clubs.

[tr305]

Yes, I understand that.

[Chuck]

New #1: Always TEXT the host. Dont email. TEXT. Be brief, straight forward, and polite when you TEXT them.

[eyo]

Good list! Thanks for the tips!
