Advice Please

[JonLondon]

Hi guys

there are 6 of us (all male) over from the UK and in Vegas from Saturday 30th March til Wednesday 3rd April.

although we aren't all massive clubbers by any stretch of the imagination, we do like a drink and like to be where the party is at. we are not adverse to clubs at all, but maybe selective to stray away from the full on 'rave' style clubs, for want of a better phrase

any help/advice on best venues to go to on Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues nights would be great and if possible where we would get best bottle service deals, on which nights, in which clubs would be fantastic.

we have already reserved a table at Wet Republic on Sunday 31st, but apart from that we are open to suggestion.

budget is far from endless (approx $400 a day), but ideally like to do bottle service in two clubs is possible over the period we are there.

any help or suggestions would be fantastic

thanks in advance
Jon

Jon,

OK so firstly the clubs in Vegas isnt really the same experience as the UK. The clubs in vegas are much more "dressy" and upmarket than what youd find in europe. Its more like VIP in Pacha Ibiza if youve been there rather than the main room madness.

This is what id be looking at for your dates.

Saturday night: XS at Encore/Wynn: Do bottle service - 2 bottle minimum. Works out about $1350 between 6 of you.
Sunday: The Bank - You should be able to get a good deal here on bottle service. Contact the host on the host page from the main site
Monday: Marquee - 2 bottle minimum - $1500 between 6 of you
Tuesday: 1Oak - Same again

So then you have the top clubs Saturday, Sunday and Monday. XS saturday is a sure fire hit. As is Marquee on Monday. The Bank is a good night on Sundays and always full and Tuesday 1Oak is the place to be.

Although I say above 2 bottle minimum you will almost definately spend more. Probably 3 bottles or maybe more drinks after your first two, so bare that in mind as youll probably have girls around too. If im totally honest, I dont think $400 is enough per day AND night in vegas. You need $400 a night really at a minimum if youre planning to do bottle service so shop around for deals by contacting hosts and seeing what they can do.

If it was up to me and you can only do 2 Bottle service nights then do XS and Marquee on Saturday and Monday.

As for Wet Republic - dont waste your money on a table there. Dont go there on a Sunday. Cancel that booking mate. The only place to be on sunday is Encore Beach club or Marquee day club. If youre gonna get tables go to one of those. Wet Republic is fun, a good laugh, but ive been there many times and had the best time as a general admission customer by far over having a cabana or day bed or whatever.

Wet is brilliant for what it is, but the design of the place doesnt work for tables and cabanas in my view. All the action is in and around the pool, and the cabanas are away from that. You will simply find yourself moving into the pool and around it where most people are and therefore its pointless having a cabana. I cant stress this enough. Just go there off the cuff, get there before 2 and youll be fine, ive never had problems getting in even after 3 or 4pm on Labor Day Weekend. Also if youre at MGM youll get in for free with passes before 1pm.

Take that money and put it all towards a day bed at Encore Beach Club. Now that place IS worth having a table as its the best pool party in Vegas by some stretch.

Only go Wet on General admission or pre sale.

Concur with line up, I'm a fan of XS on Mondays but Marquee is a good choice. Sun-Tues clubs will have specials or deals, b1g1, b2g1, or some kind of promotion on a particular brand, there's a few clubs running promos now, just PM and I'll let you known what's been available recently. If you are in town Saturday, I would personally do a pool and not plan too much for a club, I think most will be open that day (assuming weather will be solid). In terms of cabanas, etc.. you're paying for the real estate, being able to sit, relax, drink bottles, invite girls into, bring the party to the cabana etc.. the pools have no where to sit, keep your stuff, etc.. so it's a convenience factor involved. I've had fun GA and cabana but walking around with no place to chill gets old if I plan to stay more than 1-2 hours.

If by this, you mean you don't want to listen to EDM...

Just a heads up, XS plays primarily EDM. Marquee plays EDM in the main room and has a separate room for hip hop.

A list of performers can be found here:

I like to think of XS and Marquee as an upscale, more intimate dance music festival. You can check out their youtube channels to see what I mean:

I wouldn't classify any Vegas clubs as "raves". Closest you get is Marquee if a real trance DJ is playing
