Groupon for Elite VIP Tours?

[Chuck]

I'm going to Minneapolis to visit family in a few months. They've got a few clubs that look decent. Bottles are like $250 on the high end and they only require 1 bottle mins. I probably could've bought the club out for the night for what a mid tier table in Vegas runs..lol Yet I don't feel I overpaid in Vegas. That my friends is the definition of "percieved value". I've gotta figure out how to apply the same to my business!

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.

These things always sound much better than they actually are. There are better deals out there - for example, hopping a limo over to the Palms and spending a night club-hopping with their VIP all-you-can-drink pass is already a much better deal.

No, these deals essentially tie you to the same group all night, provide little to no extras, and to top it all off, you end up buying most if not all of your own drinks.

Solve this one by spending some time reading the forums, look for a few cool deals, and focus your attentions on a Tier 2 club if you're nervous of getting your feet wet. You'll have a better time right out the gates.

For free female guestlist, this all depends on the night for the literal time we cut it off.

If you mean based on your age, then NO! Now hurry up and get to the club for free entry and sometimes free drinks!!!

P.S. If you require an on-call physician, walker, and have just celebrated your 90th birthday, you may want to splurge a little for a table to sit at comfortably...

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.

thanks for the feedback everyone. We're still 4 months away from our trip, but I signed up for Vegas Groupon to see what might pop up. There may be more of these kinds of tours, but it sounds like we should just pick a place, contact the host, and set up there.
