Questions, please help!?!

This will be first time getting table service.
Can someone give me some advice? Im trying to get my gf and her friends to celebrate her 21st. My limit is around $2000
We are trying to get into the good clubs. (XS, Hakkasan, Marquee) Were not sure how many of her friends would go but probably around 4 girls and 1 guy (myself)
Where would you guys suggest to go? and which host or promoter to contact? Ive already contacted some host listed on the this website. But he hasn't gotten back to me. Thank you guys in advance.

Hi! First thing, the contact form on here takes a while. Once you submitted the form you should have gotten a phone number. Just text them, it will be much quicker.

$2000 will probably not get you table service at the bigger clubs. Even if you could get a $2K min table, you need to add 30-35% for taxes and tips, and that doesn't include security, busser or host tip. The hosts at XS get a $500 handshake normally. If you can up your budget a little that would help. You might be able to get a deal at a smaller club.

That being said, it never hurts to contact the host and ask!

Hey yayanguy and welcome! Besides your budget and the group size, the real question is WHEN you're looking to celebrate... Prices vary widely depending on who the headliner is and day of the week, etc. While you can certainly enjoy a memorable 21st bday in Vegas for $2k, gdalestumps is spot on when it comes to the tier 1 places and tables... The good news is a ratio of 4:1 certainly works in your favor... and, you might even watch the forums here to see about setting up a split/share with another group, that's really the best value for your $$$ and you'll meet some cool people doing it... highly recommended...

I recently had a $1.5k min table at Intrigue on a Thursday w/Dillon Francis and it was great... but definitely more than $2k total out of pocket...

Let us know as your plans develop, plenty of people have host connections and resources around here!

Are you set on a Tier 1 club experience? Would a tier 2 work just as well for the ladies? Plus also taking a "lesser" location on the table might squeeze you in the door. It all depends on the type of experience you are looking for. Either way, I would up the budget if you can to make it happen.

Then again, they say once you set the expectation, she will always want bottle service. So be careful what you ask for

what aero said
day of week, + headline dj make a huge difference.
Have you been to any vegas nightclubs before?
If your totally new- it might be worth checking these places out on a guestlist or with presale tickets first.
