Trying to Plan an Epic Trip in May... Input is appreciated!

Do those tables outside by the bar have good foot traffic at XS?

yeah. there comes a point on busy nights with big DJs where they close the inside to the people outside, so unless you have a table inside or are willing to tip you'll be stuck on the outside portion of the club so there will plenty of traffic by the bar.

Liquid is also a good option for Thursday pool party.

XS has branded Mad Decent Mondays with DIPLO for abut the past year that get properly stupid.

That's only on occasion though. They also have Trashed Mondays with Tommy Trash.

This is a really good question but it's tough to answer here's why: You need to know your promoter well. Make sure they have an established reputation. Same goes for host. If they are on their game then yes, they should be in touch with you if you hit any snags. If you take my approach, and follow my instructions to a T, then you shouldn't be hitting snags, although, things do happen.

To avoid getting booted when the liquor is almost gone, just fill the liquor bottle with H2O Never had any complaints from my ppl getting booted from tables when they apply this trick! Of course, this will only work with clear liquors, so maybe one of your bottles should be vodka. Hope this answered your questions, let me know what you think, Cheers!

hahah that is sooo ratchet...but genius!

Cant wait for the feedback from people trying to negotiate a DF table offering a $300 tip, and a 2 bottle min.

XS - DIPLO all the way. This guy can hype a crowd, ANY CROWD, EDM fans HipHop, you name it, he kills it. So, for tables inside you should expect a minimum of atleast $2k or more with a shake of $300-$500. My advice: Go with the bottle minimum. You should expect to get a 2 bottle minimum starting at $595 per bottle. Here's the strategy. Book thru a promoter, NOT a host. (This tip will upset some people I am sure but it works). If you book your table thru a promoter this will allow you to skip (the hand shake).... at first.... Book the table for the 2 bottle minimum and show up BEFORE 10:30. Because you booked your table through a promoter, as long as you arrive before 10:30 it isn't necessary to tip anyone bc no host can take credit for the table. Now, check in and get sat. YOU WILL GET SAT OUTSIDE. If the location is good then stick with it and savor the moment. If you do not like the table location, NOW is the time to barter (: Tell your seating host that you demand a better table location, possibly one that you passed by already and liked, and name your price. Start at $300 and have the cash ready and in view.... THIS WORKS! THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO GET THE EXACT TABLE YOU WANT.... I hope this helps, and I hope that my instructions were clear. Cheers!

No offense, but this is terrible advice. The best way to get the exact table you want is to book through a host and ask for the table you want. Your method may work on occasion, but it seems really roundabout and risky. Not to mention that if someone has already booked the table you "passed by already and liked" through a host, there isn't a damn thing you can do to get that table, aside from completely blowing the minimum out of the water... Which would be significantly more expensive than if you just booked through a host in the first place.

What...? Seriously? If you're out of booze, why not just order more? If you had a good host, they should have that table booked for you for as long as you want to use it. If anything else, when you're down to about a third of the last bottle left, order a round of beers for the table or something.

Ignore Lee Smith - read some of the guys posts. He's trying to make something out of that poxy website he's pushing...

1. If you want a table, find the table number and ask for it ahead of time. If you want to know how much a table is worth or if it is even worth it in certain situations, ask here and you will have a wealth of answers available to you.

2. If you are worried about two bottles running out, don't be. I have had the same fear on my last two table expenditures. First had 9 guys and 3 girls and second had 4 guys and then a few groups of girls throughout the night. Pre-game a bit before, show up on-time to get a good location with your low minimum and take your time drinking. I usually try to save 1 bottle till about 12:30-45 and then we can hit it heavily as the main act comes on. I also open the night and end the night with a round of beers for my friends. You won't get bumped if you make it to 1:00 am with a bottle left. You probably won't get bumped no matter what unless you absolutely demolish that alcohol within the first hour. It's all in the game.

And if you need to buy another one, YOLO and do it. Penny pinch for the next week to make up for the difference >
