Best placed to hit up during the week?

[tennisaddict]

I'll be in Vegas Sun-Tuesday night next week. Where are the best spots to hit during the week? I'm flying solo so I'm open to going anywhere. Been to Vegas previously twice with buddies but we were with some guys who worked for Budweiser so we only hit sponsored spots so I'm a newbie at the Vegas nightlife for the most part.

For the most part you are looking at...

Sunday - The Bank at Bellagio
Monday - XS at Encore or Marquee at Cosmo
Tuesday - Hyde at Bellagio or 1Oak at Mirage

All great spots, just check the individual websites to see who the DJ is (if that makes a difference to your choice) and you won't go wrong with any of them.

Have a good one!

Sunday-XS, Industry Night, you get to party with the locals & they offer a free even ratio 1:1 girls:guys guestlist, and ladies get some free drink tix.
Monday-Marquee, again Industry Night, party with locals, free even ratio guestlist.
Tuesday-1OAK, you guessed it, Industry Night party the the people who know how to party, free even ratio guestlist & 1OAK has drink tix or free open bar for ladies usually.

Let me know if you need help or have any more questions. Cheers!

Sunday is NOT XS Industry night. Thats Monday.

You should know this, as youre apparently the Nightlife Connoisseur

Forgot to mention that Hakkasan is also a great spot on a Sunday, not as busy as Fri/Sat (which is a good thing at Hakk) but still a good crowd and great time!

Also, as Lee Smith mentioned, XS on a Sunday will be good too, they used to have Sunday night swim but not sure when/if that will start up again.

Thanks for the advice everyone! Some great options. Any advice on getting into these places flying solo? I've never done the Vegas thing alone so I'm still uncertain about how to go about getting in solo, if it's even possible.

My advice would be:
Sunday - Hakkasan (if you want big top tier club) or The Bank (if you want more of an intimate party... industry night)
Monday - XS
Tuesday - 1OAK

Your best bet for solo is to buy presale tickets (wanttickets.com) or talk to a host about getting hosted entry.

Great- thanks for the advice! Since I'm new at this, what is the difference between hosted entry and just getting a ticket?

If you're flying solo, Hakkasan will usually take guys out of ratio on guestlist and you can get free entry that way. They have done this for a few weeks now so I'm guessing its still in force. Otherwise grab a girl from the strip or casino to walk in with you for free entry thru guestlist. DO NOT GRAB GIRLS FROM AROUND THE CLUB. You will get kicked out. Let me know if I can help. Cheers!

Can you explain what you mean by this? Thanks!

Ticket = presale. You print out your ticket, bring it with you to the club, and get in a separate line for people with presale tickets. Line typically moves quickly if you get there early enough (preferably before 11pm for night, noon for day).

Hosted entry is where you text your host when you get there (after pre-arranging) and he/she comes out, walks you past the line and into the club, and then you tip them.

Dropped the ball and didn't get tickets for XS tonight. How hard will it be to get in if I just show up? Just need to find a willing girl?

It's Monday, you'll be fine. Just show up around 10:30.
