March 6-9 solo/duo bottle service advice

[Davydmx]

Hey all. Been to Vegas over a dozen times, normally in a big crew of guys, now aged mid 30s up. Last year did BS at Surrender, Hyde, XS - plus a trip down memory lane going into Body English at 4am to check out after hours. And always like to read TRs on here to see how stories compare.

This year's trip has been hit by various disasters. Thurs March 6 down to 2 or 3 people. Friday 7 and Saturday 8 = just me, or maybe one other guy (would have cancelled but flying from UK and no change or refunds).

We'll do bottle service Thursday. For Friday and Saturday I have a solo budget of $700/night (maybe $1k per night between us if we are a duo). I could happily do bottle service, but would want a lively table spot. I figure a quiet table (e.g. outside) is going to be awful if solo - need high traffic to make new friends.

Questions:

• On $700/night could I get bottle service in a decent location at a reasonable club on a weekend (I know Hakkasan, Marquee and Light I'm way off base - but say Hyde, Tryst, 1Oak)?
• Would I be better skewing the budget to be club BS one night and BS lounge/ club guest list another night?
• Will lounges be too quiet and sensible? Previous BS typically ends with a lot of dancing on podium/couch with friends old and new.

Thanks in advance for your help JCers.

Looks like that weekend the bigger parties will be calvin harris hakkasan and guetta xs just get a presale ticket if you solo

[Davydmx]

Thanks - appreciate the steer.

Presale XS has more appeal than Hakkasan, as it has more space.

Other advice welcome.

Is XS the best club to do pre-sale in? Meaning you can actually move around and enjoy yourself but still a great crowd? Would Light be on this list as well? Seems like Hakassan is the worst for pre-sale

[artedm]

Xs has the outside area which is huge
But hakkasan is a HUGE club with three levels just all inside

Me and 3 other people will be there... if you wanna possibly meet up and do bottle service? We are there the 3-8th

[Davydmx]

That could be great for the Fri/Sat.

Let me know where you would have in mind or pm me (no idea how that works on this site).

On Thurs, Tryst/Haze have specials vodka/champagne. Not sure on deals with Hakk or Tao, but Tryst/Haze should both be good and the specials are cheaper than getting just 1 bottle. You're host at these can always make introductions to some lady friends if you want, or go fishing yourself and get a party going. For the other nights, join another group if you want, make some friends during the day or on Thursday night. I've seen groups make friends with the tables next to em on the first night, next thing you know, you have some new friends to party with the rest of the trip. Going GA to the bigger clubs would also be ok also, solo or duo.

Good advice. Thanks all. It's getting to crunch time on finding out whether I'll be solo on the weekend. So will decide itinerary pretty soon.

More views always welcome.

As Kazflair sorta mentioned, I think you can get a 750-900 min at Tryst on Thursday with solid handshake, excluding tax/autograt. With that, $750 would be 3 bottles of goose and 1 moet I was quoted the same thing for the next Thursday.

[Davydmx]

That's a great deal - might lock Thursday down. What location did you get? Also which host?

For me, he offered various spots for certain mins. For my dates, 220, 401-403, 601, 603, 604, and 310 were available @ $900 min (4 Goose). I think I'm set on 220 it looks a little bigger than 401, but may see if I can move further out to 310 as the table is much bigger as my group may be getting larger (it's just further from action). The big tables on the back wall, 404 & 602 were higher mins and upper dance floor was near 3k min. Obviously minimums are contingent on specific day / demand.

Either way Bobby/Tryst is offering $300 Goose/Moet or $450 Goose/Goose + tax/autograt on Thursday. He did mention that he may be able to extend these deals to Friday/Sat during winter months so he might be able to for you, I'd ask. The deals are also stackable, which is unreal!

Bobby (Tryst/XS), Joey Orr (1oak/light group), and Kazflair (Forum Name - Liquid/light Group) have all been great to work with so far and very responsive while planning my upcoming trip.

[Davydmx]

Thanks for the detailed reply. Appreciate it. I'm starting to look forward to this trip already.

Quick related question. I got a really cheap deal on HRH Tower (back when we were going en masse). I can cancel but it will cost $350 extra to go Wynncore/Bellagio or $750 extra to go Cosmo. That's a fair chunk of party budget. Is it worth it to get a better daytime crowd so more chance of joining a crew for BS in the evening?

[chrisbru]

Any reason you don't want to stay at someplace like Flamingo, Treasure Island, Mirage, etc? Probably cheaper than HRH plus better location.
