Groupon for Elite VIP Tours?

This groupon promises a four club hop with party bus (including free beer/champagne) for only $39. How is this possible?

Has anyone ever used a tour like this? I travel in a group of 3 couples. We are in our mid-30s, and we can never decide where to go...so a hopping tour could fit our needs nicely.

Any quick thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Details from the Groupon below:

Nightclub hops begin at 9:30 p.m. at an exclusive venue: the Deuce Lounge on Fridays, Lily Lounge on Saturdays, and Vanity Lounge on Sunday. Led by a special host, VIPs traverse the streets of Vegas in a party bus stocked with complimentary drinks. Party-hoppers start off at the lounge and proceed to three nightclubs, and at each location, VIP wristbands grant them instant entry and freedom from cover charges. Tours conclude once groups reach the final venue, however, guests are free to stay until the club closes.


Elite VIP Tours

The ultra haute guides at Elite VIP Tours lead groups to Vegas's hottest and most coveted clubs and venues. Whether on a club hop in a luxurious party bus, a walking tour of the nightlife, or a jaunt to some of Vegas's most exclusive swimming-pool parties, guests enjoy the special attention of a VIP host and the right to dodge any lines and cover charges they come across. Venues change to keep the tour as hot and fresh as a biscuit made by Gucci; past locations have included Tao inside the Venetian, LAX inside the Luxor, and Pure inside Caesars Palace.

You won't be going to Tier 1 clubs, but if you're just looking for a cheap party it may be worth the $39 gamble. They get it done by way of volume and providing thirsty mouths to the lower tier clubs. I've bumped into people doing these and they seemed to be having fun. I don't like being on someone elses agenda and feel it would be annoying to be running from place to place all night rather than just going to a great spot and enjoying it. Just my preference...

says 1 club on Friday. 1 club on Saturday and 1 on Sunday.

how is that a hopping package if each one is different days?

There are different tours each night. Looking on the website, here are the upcoming tours. Aren't Vanity and Pure tier 1 clubs? I haven't researched clubs for a while, but last time I did Vanity was at the top of the list...

Start the night with a 9:30pm check-in at Deuce Lounge inside of Aria for drink specials!
Walk to Haze also inside of Aria,
Party Bus to LAVO inside of the Palazzo,
Party Bus to Vanity inside of the Hard Rock . (Tour Ends)

SATURDAY:

Start the night with a 9:30pm check-in at Lily Ultra Lounge inside of the Bellagio for drink specials!
Walk to The Bank also inside of the Bellagio,

ahh didnt notice the club was afterwards, why dont they just say on the details which club they will be brought in also. Thats the selling point if thats included. Seems like its another groupon with too little information.


I guess its not my thing. You can get women on guestlist in most of those places and not have to pay cover anyways. Guys are usually $20-30 for cover for most of those clubs.

Vanity isnt top tier anymore. If anything the top ones on that list are Bank, Haze, Pure and Lavo. LAX and Vanity after that.

Not a bad lineup for a night. I've just always be weary of those tours. Would be awesome if you did it and reported back though

I had some friends out there this past week( All girls) and they did one of these bus tours on the strip. 79 a girl and all they got was entry into Pure, Lax, and Haze. No drinks or anything. I BEGGED them not to do.

[ashroid]

I've done stuff like this in Las Vegas and other cities. It's been a hit and miss for me.

In Europe, they're awesome. In parts of the US, it's great. In Las Vegas...it's buyer beware. I think it said this in other posts, but the one that I went on was pretty sh*tty. They took us to Dick's Last Resort, the Centrifuge bar (can't remember what's it called now, but it's outside what used to be Studio 54), some other joint and then just dropped us off outside Rain/Moon/etc. We had to figure our own way in. The guide was an asshole.

Does the "females get in free" end at some point? We feel like this trip is our last stand...I will be 34, already getting old for the clubs. Maybe I should open another thread to find out where us 30 somethings should go...want dance floor space and 80s/90s music.

I dont know what that question means. I do know 34 is not too old for clubs.

[ashroid]

34 is definitely NOT too old to go to a nightclub, especially in Las Vegas. One time at a table at XS, the couple next to us were probably in their 60s! (They had a bottle of champagne and a serving of strawberries).

They weren't rocking vodka red bulls?

I'm 36... kinda just got back in the Vegas club scene last 2-3years. I guess even more the last year or so. I mean I've done my clubbing days in my early 20s, but running a business, starting a family and going on other vacation destinations kept me away from the clubs. I do go out with friends from late 20s to my age. We're in Vegas at least once a month.

30s isnt out of place in all the clubs. I've noticed alot of the bottle service in some of the clubs are groups even older than me. If you like the music, the environment, it doesnt matter what your age is. I've seen couples in their 40s and 50s at marquee.

The high bottle service prices in Vegas skews the average age a little older than other cities, I imagine.

I definitely think so. I don't know anyone turning legal that would be able to afford Las Vegas bottle prices that either hasn't sold an organ or isn't a trust fund b*tch (guy or girl).
