My Tentative Vegas Blowout Weekend Plan

[Unum]

UPDATED 5/4/12 So apparently the Cougars wanted this game to be on ESPN so they moved it and set a game time! 6pm on Friday.. A little odd but hey it works out awesome for partying. I have adjusted my schedule below given the recommendations I have received. Also learned one of my friends basically assumed we were doing bottle service and was planning on splitting one nights tabs with me, which makes more money for partying!!

I nixed a show, I think it would be more fun to hit up Tao on Thursday Seems like they have really good bottle specials on Thursdays

Also nixed gun shooting. This can be a game day choice we can all split if we wanna go do this.

Background for this trip...
6 guys we are all really close friends have been friends a long time. Its split about 50-50 in terms of wives and not. Ages 24-27
We are primarily going for the WSU vs. UNLV football game (Go Cougs!) But I want that to be a side thought to everything else we do.

Sept 13-16
I know this is WAY early but I am OCD and I want to blow my buddies out of the water.

Pre-trip prep work..

Continue to learn new stuff every day on the forum..

Order food from VONS online have delivered to hotel @6pm on Thursday.

Thursday
Arrive at 5:20pm from Seattle.
Presidential Limo pick up
Go to Lees Liquors to stock up
Get to Marriot Grand Chateau I booked a 3 br suite.
I booked here mostly because its still really close of the strip, Plenty of space, and shit for like 900 bucks for 3 nights I can just hire a limo when we need it.

7:45 Dinner
9pm Go show the VV(Vegas Virgins) all the stuff on strip water show.. treasure island.. the "girls girls girls" guys.. Blah blah

10:30 Arrive @ Tao for BS.. I am thinking 1K min+200 host tip+ assorted Tips+30%? Is this enough?
There bottle "Thursday specials" seem awesome.


Friday:
9:30 Wake up
Breakfast
Find that hangover relief truck
11:00am Reserved Cabana I am hoping the Sr. host Chris can hook me up if I double down here with him from the night before @ Tao $1100 min + Tips + 30% Tax We think that's enough?
4-5pm: Head back to hotel

5:30 pm Get to WSU football game
I want to get a 10 person suite for this game so if anyone has any connections for the stadium and how to get a suite that would be awesome!

8:30 pm Limo for the night
Dinner: STK

Post Dinner... Honestly I think I might leave this night up in the air or make some choices the closer we get..
Gamble.. Bars..



Saturday
Breakfast Buffet suggestions
Find Hangover Truck

Head over to Wet Republic Reserved Cabana 1200min + Tips + 200 host + 30% + Assorted Tips This good?

4-5pm Nap

6pm Dinner

10pm XS for the night (Tiesto is set to preform) What would be a good min here for that night I would really like a good table? Say... 1500 + 300 Host Tip + 30%+ other tips

Sunday-

Crawl onto the plane and have my wife take care of me when i get home.


Couple fun things to remember. I am not telling them about ANY of this so its big fuckin SURPRISE. They are all (except for 1) Vegas virgins. All like to party.

We are getting one of those Go-pro vests to take in where ever we can.. to record the trip and then keep the SD cards in lock box to never be shown.

Let me know! All of this can be changed. As you can see there are some big blank spots so feel free to fill in. I am open to almost everything Vegas has to offer!

[Chuck]

So I have been reading on here a while, posting here and there, and I think its time to see if what I have come up with is approved

7:45 Dinner @ Kokomo's Steak & Seafood
9:00 LOVE show
I have not booked this yet.. but am thinking about it. Vegas.com is running some special with a limited menu and tickets to LOVE. Plus if I buy the Vegas.com gift cards from Costco I can get it nicely discounted.


10:30 After the show? Walk the strip.. Strip club.. Gamble? other ideas? Club? WHAT'S YOUR BUDGET? IF LOW BUDGET, THEN WALK DOWN TO COSMO BY THE FOUNTAINS, CAESARS, ETC. THEN DRINK AROUND THE COSMO BARS ON THE CASINO FLOOR. IF YOU'VE GOT A $800+ BUDGET FOR THURSDAY NIGHT THEN WE'LL TALK OTHER OPTIONS. OH, MIX IS ALWAYS A GOOD FIRST NIGHT SPOT. VIEW PUTS YOU IN THE MOOD TO TEAR IT UP THE REST OF THE WEEKEND.

Friday:
8:00am Wake up
Breakfast (if we can keep food down)
9:00am Discount Firearms for some automatic weapons
10:30am Hotel for showers, food, puke, lol
11:00am Pre-Reserved Cabana... Tao, Wet Republic,? Look for a $1500 min + Tips + 30% Tax
Suggestions here for host & which pool party is best for shy guys when they are sober, who like girls and EDC music
I'M NOT EXPERIENCED AT ALL ON POOL PARTIES BUT DO KNOW TAO BEACH IS SMALLER WHICH MAY BE LESS INTIMIDATING FOR THE SHY GUY. CHRIS TRAER IS THE MAN TO CALL FOR TAO BEACH 702-510-5286. SINCE YOU'RE FOOTING THE BILL, TAO SEEMS TO BE THE MOST REASONABLE TIER 1 WHEN IT COMES TO BOTTLES
5pm: Head back to hotel
Naps, booze, get ready to go out.

8:00 pm Limo for the night,
Dinner: Suggestions, probably somewhere we can be a bit rowdy, nothing nuts but we will most likely be wasted still
THIS SOUNDS LIKE STK TO ME
10:30- BS at club 1200 min+generous tips+30% Club suggestions. Since I am footing the bill for this weekend and I LOVE EDC music i would prefer an EDC club.
PERSONALLY I'D DO HYDE MOSTLY B/C IT JUST LOOKS LIKE AN AWESOME CROWD AND THE LOCATION IS COOL AS SHIT. NOT SURE IF A $1200 MIN WOULD GET IT DONE WITH 6 GUYS THOUGH. IF YOU DO TAO BEACH THROUGH CHRIS ON THURSDAY I BET HE'D DO YA RIGHT IF YOU DOUBLED DOWN WITH HIM AND DID TAO ON FRIDAY. OTHERWISE TRYST OR SURRENDER SEEMS LIKE A NICE OPTION FOR THAT SPEND.
See where the rest of Friday night takes us.

Saturday
This day is still up in the air because we don't know what time the WSU vs UNLV game starts.

Afternoon game means no pool parties and BS at night and visa versa for a Night game.

So suggestions for Saturday night are really appreciated, I was thinking MAYBE an afternoon BS at the rhino or sapphire.

Or BS late at a club..
IF YOU DO A STRIP CLUB THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST PLACE TO SLIDE IT IN. PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK YOU'RE MISSING ANYTHING BY SKIPPING THE STRIP CLUB. JUST NOT MY BAG THOUGH. NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING TOTALLY FLEXIBLE ONE DAY AND NOT PLANNING IT OUT. JUST HAVE A COUPLE OPTIONS IN MIND, LET A COUPLE HOSTS KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE MAKING A GAME-TIME DECISION AND HAVE THEIR NUMBERS HANDY.

You plan like I do!

See above for my input and questions...

Unless you are big Beatles fans you may want to switch up love to absinthe , I think your 1500 min at a pool on Friday could be reduced , take your savings and put it towards a table at marquee or XS

[kman90]

• You're not partying on Thursday night...why?
  
• You're in a limo, stop at Walmart and get everything in 1 trip, Alcohol, chaser, bottled water, condoms for the singles lol!

What's a group of 6 usually run at a pool...say for a daybed...$600-800?

Nixed the shows all together, lowered my min @ tao and going to do XS on Saturday w/ Tiesto preforming.

Excellent point. Changed. Now partying @ Tao Thursday night

That sounds about right to me...

A few comments:

Sorry but I don't think $1,500 at XS on a Saturday with Tiesto playing will cut it for a good location with 6 guys. It might not even be enough for an inside table, I would expect close to double that but maybe a good hook-up might help there.

If the game is at 6pm on Friday, 8:30pm limo time probably is a bit too early if you plan on staying the whole game. FYI can't wait for college football season myself, but I am going to New Orleans for my yearly pilgrimage lol. Definitely STK for dinner, now that you have nixed the steakhouse the day before. You might want to think of actually having dinner at TAO too on Thursday, I really like that place.

Saturday I would skip the breakfast buffet and instead do Hash-House-A-Go-Go at Imperial Palace, best hangover cure food place in my mind.

Question, how do you already know that Tiesto is playing the Saturday this far in advance? I have a tough time finding DJ listing for June lol.

Tiesto announced all of his Vegas dates on his podcast a bit ago. The ones still remaining for the year: 5/6 EBC, 5/25 XS, 5/26 Surrender, 7/6 XS, 7/7 EBC, 9/14 Surrender, 9/15 XS, 9/16 EBC, 10/28 XS, 12/22 XS, 12/24 XS, 12/30 XS

[Chuck]

Liking the updated plan. $1000 plus $200 tip may get you main room at Tao on a Thursday in the "dugout" by the bar especially if you line up Tao Beach for Friday at the same time. I did $1400/$400 with a group of six and got a great main room location on a Thursday.

Re: the suite at the game...I have a friend thats alum at UNLV so I'll ask him. I know here the only way you get into a suite is with a min $100k donatiin to the school or an invite from someone who already has a suite. That said Im sure UNLV is way different.

UPDATE: My buddy is checking things out through the alumni route...otherwise go here http://www.thomasandmack.com/facility/luxury.php

Thanks Nate, that explains it.

[Mongeaux]

Minimums for Friday and Saturday seem very low. PM some hosts to get a better idea, but pretty sure XS is going to run twice that.

In my experience if you are cool with a host on these forums and site and you take care of them a zero minimum daybed is very possible on a Friday. Ofcourse after 4 pitchers of booze some shots beers food and tips you will be in the 600 dollar neighborhood

Considering the last time I was at the Mirage pool I dropped $70 on one round of drinks for 4 people this seems very reasonable to have a daybed for 6 at a party all afternoon. This was one of the moments I got a good chuckle when our virgins gasped at a receipt that weekend...this was the afternoon before BS at Tao...so the gasps had only begun. Silly virgins!

Thanks Chuck!

Really appreciated, I also emailed and left a VM for the rep @ Thomas and Mack.

As for my mins.. I can always bump them up a couple hundred.

PMing Chris from Tao for some better ideas for thurs and friday.

I am just gonna skip XS (I really like Tiesto but have already seen him a few times in concert)
Marquee should be pretty crackin on Saturday though..

Love the input keep it coming!
