1st time out in Vegas - looking for bit of advice

[bigjohn6348]

Hello all bit of help please.

Am from England and I land in Vegas on 19 October with my girl and we are going to see CalvinHarris at Hakkasan this night.
Can someone advise me what time i should plan on getting to the club? how much will drinks cost in there please?
Was thinking of going to 1 bar before hand but looking to cut down the cost, have been told Diablo at MC and Coyete Ugly at NYNY have all you can drink promotions on between 9-12? Can any of u confirm this or suggest anywhere else to go were i wont spend a fortune?

If i was to have another night out while i am there during the week can anyone suggest what night and where please?

cheers for your help boys & girls

What's your method of entry? presale tickets you should be fine up until midnight but i wouldnt risk it and would get there before 11. General Admission definitely get there soon as the club opens. Drink prices vary. Beers are usually $10 shots and mixed drinks are in the $14-20 range. Carnival court has fairly cheap drinks.

Pushing it to show up at midnight with pre sale especially with Calvin there. A lot of peeps will do pre sale for a major act. Diablos is all you can drink draft beer for $20 9 PM to midnight. Coyote is free admission up to 9 PM nightly then there is a cover. Their happy hour is 6-9 PM.

You may want to sign up for a free online account at www.vons.com and have them deliver your booze, snacks, food, water, pedialyte to your room once you settle in. You pick the time frame to deliver and they show up. Free first delivery and I tipped my guy $10 and he brought all of it up to the room. Best $150 I spent in July. Was able to pre game and also load up a drink and carry it on the strip to reduce the high charges of alcohol while walking around.

No, I'd get there 1030 ish if possible to be safe.
