Club crawl packages

[hillruss9]

Hi all,

I'm bringing my bachelor/stag party to Vegas in may, 14 of us in total. We've got bottle service booked at a pool party and a club but I'm slightly concerned that I may be pushing the budget of a few of the guys in the group if I organise anything else at that level.

I've therefore found the various club crawl/party bus tours online that offer entrance to a couple of lounges and a couple of clubs for, around $60. This seems like a good option to me to ensure I can get everyone into a club without shelling out for VIP every night.

The reviews seem decent for the tours I've looked at but it still feels a little too good to be true - no line, cover included for all bars/clubs, free drinks on the bus (where applicable) - all for the same cover as maybe 1 club alone. Am I missing something or is this a good option?

I'm slightly concerned about the stories of VIP hosts bumping up your minimum spend/the booking not being confirmed - but this seems relatively safe.

Has anyone got any experience/comments?

Cheers

Never EVER do club crawls.

You dont have any control on where you going and quite why youd get to one club, and then want to move to another to me is ridiculous. Youll almost certainly end up at LAX at the Luxor

Dont do it, I cannot emphasise this enough. I know a few people who've done it, they all come back saying it is dreadful. All here will agree im sure.

You dont have to do bottle service to get your group in. You can use Pre-Sale tickets to sort your entry. Yes it means organisation but Vegas is all about organisation. If you dont plan your nights they're invariably lame.

So - do you Bottle Service VIP thing when you like. The other nights you are worried about getting in, simply choose the event/club you want to go to and buy pre-purchased tickets. All the clubs have links on their sites, and its usually wanttickets.com

Couldn't agree more, when I first started heading to Vegas years ago made the mistake of doing a club crawl, for the most part it makes no sense. Right as your getting used to a spot (if you even like the spots that you go to) the group is moving on. And yes you will DEFINITELY end up at LAX which was awful when I did it 7 years ago so can't imagine what that place must look like now.

Do presale tickets for the nights that you are worried about, get there at a decent time and you guys will be straight.

Thanks for the reply both. With the presale tickets - arent we likely to end up queing for hours though - particularly 14 guys all trying to get get in? I'm thinking we have no chance? We could be waiting round hours which will itself take the shine off the nights - or do the "queue jump" tickets genuinely work.

I've only ever done bottle service before in vegas so I've never had to worry before - but I now need to balance quite a few peoples budgets.

what tommo said
if you don't do presale tickets you will be waiting for hours in the general admission line.

Presale tickets usually aren't that long a wait.

Ok, thats great, thanks very much.

I've also seen a few hosts that will "walk you in" for about an extra $20/30 on the cover cost - also a waste of time if I get pre booked tickets?

Understood! Thanks again for the replies

The ONE time that club crawls might be good is if you're going solo and just want to meet a bunch of people fast on the first night. Personally I would just hit up people wherever in that situation but I understand that is not how everyone rolls.

Buy presale and with 14 guys split into 2-3 groups and go early
