Help with Fri 3/14 for my Boss and Crew

[swbtgiants]

Quick background:
I am 33 and have been to Vegas 8 times, 4 x for bachelor parties. Have used this site a ton in the past, met some great people through it (shout out to No Ah, James from Light, etc). I am very well versed in nightlife as I live and go out in NYC weekly, but it has been a minute since I have been to Vegas with a group looking to spend their own $$ (all been work trips recently)

So if you guys wouldn't mind helping me figure out how to spend my bosses $$ for Fri March 14th, that would be appreciated!

Parameters: 5k min spend

Requests:
- "Don't want to be in no mans land"
- "Don't want to be cramped at a tiny table with no room"

10 people

Options:
1.) EBC night swim
I have never been to this but heard its cool. Boss isnt in good shape so is worried about the pool party aspect of it but I told him I am pretty sure you can dress normally...
Anna Lunoe is playing that night who I love, but I am not sure the rest of the crew would be as thrilled with...

- All tables look like they are under the 5k budget, so which ones would you suggest?
** bonus, my boy is the opening/closing DJ that night (shoutout to RR) so that might add to the fun

2.) Chainsmokers at XS
- obviously will be a good time, with a ton of great talent I presume
My only question is can we get a decent table for a 5k spend that would have good energy, space, a good view, and the ability to keep girls at?

3.) Calvin @ Omnia
- same question as XS

4.) Diplo @ Intrigue
not sure his music would be right for our crew
also haven't gotten price lists for this night yet so unsure what I am working with

5.) E-Rock @ Light
- good value, but I am unsure what kind of crowd this draws
I know he is mixed format which is always fun, but again, I am not sure dropping 5k here would be worth it compared to the other options?
I haven't been to Light since its beginning days and I know it has changed a ton

6.) Justin Credible at Tao
- I think same sort of situation as Light
Could get a great bang for your buck here but unsure of talent/crowd situation and if it would be worth it over seeing a big name since it will be the only night we are getting a table


OK a lot to digest there. Thanks in advance for all the help!

for XS i'd pick the immediate patio area (4k min). very prime for the price. since its your bosses money and 5k min, grab a lower bungalow at ebc. fill the private pool w girls hahaha have fun

[GordonBombay]

Personally, I would go for the night swim anyways, then with knowing the opener, it's just a bonus. Boss can wear shorts and a short sleeve button down if he wants, no one would judge at all.

[swbtgiants]

After speaking to more people, it just seems EBC or Omina/XS make sense. And at 5k budget, Omnia/XS run the risk of being a crowded time for a crew that may not enjoy that. So that leaves EBC.

Ive been recommended the bungalows. The only thing is they seem really far from the stage/action. I assume that is less important during the Night than Day but unsure. Has anyone done the bungalows? What are your thoughts?

[egero63]

For what it's worth, the immediate patio at xs is a private area (security makes people wait in line to get anywhere near you or the inside club area) with perfect sight lines of the booth. EBC is a toss up crowd wise and its a standard club dress code that early in the season.

XS- best crowd, packed for the GA folks.
Ebc- your buddy performing, standard dress code, toss up crowd. Look into L couches and gaming Pavillion too

Both will be fun times regardless.

[swbtgiants]

We are at least 10+ people so I am thinking that the Patio is likely not feasible...And since they don't want to be that crowded, getting the bungalow allows for lots of space, private bathroom, access to gaming tables, etc

[egero63]

Missed your headcount. Ya get the bungalow

[swbtgiants]

Yea I think that is the play. I just hope its busy enough as only Anna Lunoe is playing and itll be in the 50s at night in vegas :/

On Friday 3/15
Hakkasan has illenium
marquee has dj mustard
jewel has tyga
drais has rae sremmurd
1oak has dj karma
hyde has dj ikon
apex social at palms has dj june

not sure if you already looked at those other seven events

is the budget $5k all in?
I just mention cause a lot of places have added a bunch of fees
$5k at the wynn is really like $6900 all in
if so you might be looking for $3500ish min for $5k allin
wynnsocial.com has table maps and prices
from marquee website looks like dance floors for 10 are $2500 min

Omnia, XS, Hakkasan are the biggest capacity- drawing the big ga crowd

the day pool parties are just opening but to give you an idea XS nightswim usually starts the 1st weekend in May- so your very very early season for a night pool party.

[swbtgiants]

Yeah. I'm not worried about the "all in". I think the sticker price of 5k min is what he was looking for. I don't think he and his friends will like mustard. The whole thing is a tough draw. It's not my $$ and I want to make sure I do this the best I can. I think we want to avoid mainly hip hop, which eliminates basically all your other options. Doubling up his budget would make this all easier but alas these are the parameters I've been given. I'm not sure my best play here

[egero63]

Wait and see the setup tomorrow night for Dillon and contact a host on Friday. Going by pics last year, it looked like a Surrender setup inside all of March. Maybe front platform for 10 people or 2 30's dj tables. Host will know where you'll wanna be

[Coolwake23]

Have you connected with an XS host yet? The Chainsmokers prices for your Friday seemed even higher than usual when I priced an upper dance floor table so you may want to check ASAP and see what’s going on.

You may want to consider upstairs at Omnia - the crowd won’t be as bad up there.

You could probably get the stage table at Diplo at Intrigue for 5k. It’s a unique experience and Diplo isn’t all hip hop (70 percent house 30 percent hip hop probably). Sitting next to Diplos weirdo entourage is an experience in itself.

Illenium at Hakkasan might be good. 5k could potentially get you 2nd tier DF, or it should given that 3 bigger DJs are playing elsewhere. Just give security 150 at the start and tell them you need your boss taken care of and if anyone needs to hit the head you want a security escort to and from if the crowd is nuts. Just get a table over on that side with the restroom
by the pavilion.

Good luck man.

[swbtgiants]

All great ideas. XS is gonna be far too expensive. Maybe 2 dj tables for ebc but 50 degree weather and Anna lucoe doesn't seem like a great idea. I hadn't thought of intrigue. That could work. Ilenium at hak is only 5 k for main dance floor so I think we may be leaning towards that. Not dubstep fans but I think it'll be a good big club dancefloor experience for all the first timers

[swbtgiants]

Can anyone tell me about 3rd tier couches at XS? 10 people likely...

[RStarr1119]

I would highly recommend against 3rd tier at XS, especially for Chainsmokers and with that group size. Based on your minimum, I would go with either lower dance floor or stage at Hak (you should be able to get each) or the same options at Intrigue, although you might not be able to get stage there. While Chainsmokers can be an experience and the talent is great, I believe you will get way more value for $5K min with the other options, especially since the talent will be spread out that night with multiple big name DJs playing.
