Deciding between offers

[bluehat]

These are the offers I've gotten for the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend for my budget of $800. Which would you guys go with?

LAVO - $300 min
Tryst - $300 goose/moet
Tao - $450 min for Friday
Hyde - 2 for 1 deal
Bank - $495 goose/moet

I'm liking LAVO, Tryst and Hyde but I'm not sure if they'll be busy this weekend. What's their clientele like?

I haven't mentioned being from JC or how much I'll be tipping the host (around $140-$180).

Any help is appreciated.

That Tryst deal is REALLY good. As for the crowds it's Thanksgiving weekend it's gong to be slow. You won't have any issues with the crowds at those spots.

Just food for thought, a lower minimum isn't going to change anything unless the bottles are also cheaper. If the min is $300, but the bottles are $400+ then it's not really getting a deal - just the opportunity at a better than normal table. Id pick Tryst or Hyde if it were my choice, but would lean toward Tryst as the bottle deal is better. Just remember all of those deals/mins do not include taxes or fees, which is +28% for non LET clubs not including host tip.

That's why I'm leaning towards Lavo since it's smaller and more intimate. Tryst seems like a big club so with less people on a slow night, it might not be as fun.

This is a good point. I just asked the host for clarification on the minimums.

How fast does a bottle of goose and moet last?

What's an LET club?

However, fast you drink it For two guys it should be more than enough, unless you come to the club dry. Even if you are running low, you can always get a few shots or something.

What's an LET club?

It's a new tax that is passed on to the consumer for another 10%. So clubs that charge LET (Live Entertainment Tax) are 38% tacked on top minimums/shown bottle prices (10% LET, 20% AUto-Gratuity to servers, and 8% sales tax). I don't have an accute list of which clubs charge let, which is mainly the newer/bigger clubs. Tryst is safe, for now.

I wouldn't do Lavo over Tryst, just my 2 cents. All of these clubs will get busy on a weekend. Prob w Tryst is that table is prob gonna be outside or a very very small one. Tao prob won't be in the main room. Hyde is high. Not a big fan of Lavo's layout. All of these table are gonna have their issues probably so I would clarify specific locations instead of focusing on the deal. I'd go where I would get the most comfortable table and best location.
