Bachelor Party - Initerary & Pricing

[ocam]

Dude the VIP companies do NOT pay a penny up front. They are simply arranging. They dont take the risk that you dont turn up and not pay.

They're only doing what you can do yourself. You wont get bumped, just get there by 10:30pm and youll be fine.

Re: The table they offered you in XS - Dont take it - it sucks. I had that table two years ago and I think its the worst in the venue. Its totally outta the way and youre tucked into the corner so get no passing people, when ive been in XS on general admin its better, MUCH better than that particular table. Demand absolutely any table above it, inside or outside.

You basically end up with your group and no one else cos its just to out of the way.

Dont mean to put a downer on it! But hope it helps

Interesting, a few people on here actually like the stripper pole area

dnix - great suggestion. I did that and now have an 8pm reservation for Friday night at STK...not bad!

Chuck - glad I'm in good company!

Seems like the premium you pay for using a hosting service isn't really worth it - especially when forums like this exist!!

Thanks guys. My worry is that we'll get bumped. From what I've heard, reservations aren't guaranteed, so if another party shows up and offers more than your minimum, you might end up with no table. My understanding is that with a VIP company, they prepay for your table so it's guaranteed...

Tell your host ahead of time how much you plan to tip and what time you will show up. Show up when you say you will and tip as you said you would, you won't have to worry about it. That rarely happens, and if it does, it's generally because the person showed up too late and/or didn't use a forum approved host. Seriously...them prepaying your table is NOT worth $500.

Are all the hosts in the contact info JC has compiled for the various clubs forum approved or is it just specific indivduals. Who would be recommended at XS?

I'd personally go with Bobby Yeadon.

If Chuck recommends Bobby then I'm sure he's great. I've also had great experience with Ryan Perrings at XS. He is who I have used and will use again on my next trip.

None of these are good deals considering what a host can do. I agree on the XS table, not worth it, the only one that seems inline to me was the Marquee table for 5k min, but again, the extra on top is more than 1k of what it should be after tax tip to host, you should be in the $6500-6900 range after all tax/tips not 7860! My friend, find one host that you like at one of the venues you want to go to. From there, let that host help you with other clubs/pools. Much better safer way to go.

The BEST way to book a table is DIRECTLY with a VIP HOST at whatever venue you choose!
