How far ahead should you look to book a table/bottle service?

I'm heading to Vegas the weekend before Labor Day weekend with 2 friends. We are looking to book some tables on Friday and Saturday night. We've narrowed the list of clubs down to 1Oak, Haze, Pure and Moon or Rain (the last time we went in 2009 we went to Moon and had a good time) That same time though we called not long before going and found it difficult to book tables in some of the clubs due to them being sold out or the minimums for the tables available being too high. Can anyone tell me when it'd be best to make a decision and call to make reservations by? Also if anyone has a good host to recommend I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Normally I would say 3 or 4 weeks, but you might want to go earlier for LDW. You can always contact a host now, if it's too early I'm sure they would let you know.

On a non-holiday/non-fight weekend? I usually do 1 week ahead, 2 weeks would be fine too. For the clubs you are looking at you shouldn't have any problems with high minimums. I would think you could do 1 bottle mins at all of those places.

FYI - Rain is closed now.

I personally like to touch base around a month out to get an idea of what Im looking at for location/price then finalize around 2 weeks out and confirm maybe a day or two before I leave

Thanks all, based on what people are saying we are leaning towards going to Hyde. Very disappointed Rain closed down. Hyde seems to have the most buzz about it and the best reviews out of the lot. However a lot of people are saying it is more a lounge than a nightclub is this true?

Hyde is a lounge except Friday/Saturday/Tuesday.

So two months out is too much?

2 months out the club may not have the DJ schedule set yet so the host may not know exact pricing. It doesn't hurt to reach out but things may change once the DJ is booked. I generally stick to 1-2 weeks out.
