You walk to the front, tip the guy whistling for them and hop in the next one. Send one guy in group, tell the taxi dude, "hey, I got $50-100 for express service", whatever amount depending on group. Shake his hand with the appropriate amount. He will nod, go back, get the crew and jump in the next cab, done...Isaac Kaz Curry

Ocam, you are literally planning my trip! hahaOriginally posted by ocam View Post
I've checked out Light, looks like it will be fantastic! Thomas Gold is playing the Friday night not Alesso. I've only heard bits of Thomas Gold here in the UK, but I will probably go anyway to see the new megaclub!
I want to do WR one day, probably the Sunday to link up with Tiesto that night.
Can you please get me a price for Lily pad and beach coach for Steve Angello @ EBC. Will they be OK with us just being guys? I've read in a few places it's best to split up if your all guys.Comment

Just tripped across Armin Van Buuren playing Marquee dayclub, how does that place match up to EBC?Comment

Whoops - sorry mate. Yes it's Thomas Gold. He is very good - I saw him around 3-4 months ago and he was very good. Technically talented DJ who has had a few monster productions/remixes recently e.g. his remix of Miike Snow - The Wave spread like wildfire. Listen to his Essential Mix from December (I think) last year to get an idea. Also, a really nice dude -- met him briefly after his club set and he chilled and chatted with us.Originally posted by Jacko3 View Post
There's no problems being all guys when you are getting table service; only when you try and get in as a group of lads through general admission. You could have 50 guys in a group for table service and they'd still let you in (but charge you $$$$$$$$).
I'll get back to you on lilypad pricing for Steve Angello.Last edited by ocam; 04-10-2013, 12:21 PM.EastCoast: "I will preach. Vegas is easy. So easy.

Hey mate, because of the fight and Cinco de Mayo, looks like prices are above average.
Here's what I got quoted with a low-range tip:
Lilypad (4 guys + 4 girls) = $3,470 all-inclusive of tax/tips. I think this is a bit extreme for your group size.
Beach couch (up to 6ppl) = $2,575 all-inclusive of tax/tips. I think you can get this down to $2400 with a bigger tip.
Gaming pavilion table = $2,830 all-inclusive of tax/tips. I think beach couches are located better because you are in the thick of the action and since the beach couch is cheaper, then don't bother with this.
Andreas patio = $1,975 all-inclusive of tax/tips. I don't like this spot to be honest and think it's worth paying more for a beach couch. It's the chepeast option though and you can probably land it for less than $1,850 all-in with a bigger tip.
Ultimately, it comes down to your budget.. if you guys can spend $600 a person, I think you can land a beach couch. When I did EBC with 3 guys and had a beach couch on a regular weekend, we paid $500 a head -- so $600 on a busy weekend doesn't really seem too out of line with that pricing. It would be even better if you could get 2 more people to join your group to drop the cost per person even more (maybe put a post in the GET CONNECTED forum).EastCoast: "I will preach. Vegas is easy.

I have booked Thomas Gold tickets so that weekend looking good! I will speak to the guys about getting a beach couch.
Do you know anywhere that will be showing the football (soccer) on Sunday morning at 6am??!! I am a huge Liverpool fan and they play Everton, local derby game!!!! I remember watching David Haye v Vladimir Klitchko in Blondies, Millionnaire mile shops, when I was last in Vegas. That didn't start until 2pm Vegas time so not sure it will be open at 6am.Comment

Looks good if you can survive it! STK gets a lot of recommendationsComment

As Omar said...STK is very good. I've really enjoyed Sage in Aria as well. All comes down to the type of food you're looking for and picking a spot that won't cause logistical headaches. There's some good info in the Bar & Restaurant thread that should give you some ideas.Comment

Thanks Omar as well for the suggestions! Where is STK?Originally posted by cowboy2024 View Post
