Vegas.com bottle service?

[jonnywells]

Been looking on vegas.com and noticed you can book bottle service though them.

Seem to have some great deals at TAO,the bank etc at around $800 plus tax+grats.

Anyone booked a table though vegas.com?

Don't do it. Why does everyone insist on even thinking about shit like this when you've got ready access to multiple hosts at each venue and a forum full of good stories of dealing with such people.

Waste of money. No table location guarantee and prob just 1 bottle.

Tell the host yur all in $$ and see what they can do. If they can't do it and you desperately want a table then do it online. If they are promoting it on Vegas.com they need people in their club so the hosts should be able to at least match(possible better location) or better the offer online.

Did this on my first trip to Vegas since we were a young group with low budgets...and I had yet to discover the forums. We bought a deal at Chateau for $500 (2 bottles of Svedka). We were seated at the WORST table in the place and the service was sub par.

So, I would take the advice of Omar and KP. You'll feel a lot better knowing exactly what you're getting for your money, instead of it being a surprise.

I think some of you may be jumping to conclusions here. Depending on the date in question, Vegas.com has much better deals than any of the VIP hosts could possibly offer. As a personal example, I purchased a deal on Vegas.com for MDW weekend at The Bank. 8 entry passes, 2 bottles of Belvedere, mixers, and 2 bottles of champagne. $825 with fees, plus taxes and gratuity charged at the club.

There's not a single table at The Bank that I would object to with that deal. Furthermore, I couldn't get a quote from a host for under $1500 for that venue during MDW.

I have been wondering about this as well. For MDW Vegas.com has a better deal for Chateau than what their host offered me. I'm new to the whole Vegas club scene, but I guess I just don't see the advantage of using a host. Especially since I will have to tip the host on top of the cost, Vegas.com eliminates that cost. Any advice?

Also, a bit off topic but will a host negotiate on their price at all? For example if I said "I can book a specific package on a website, can you beat that?" Does that go against etiquette?

9 times out of 10, I would say you should work through a host. Yes, you have to tip them, but it's almost always worth it. I've gotten bottle specials and sat (almost) in the DJ's booth on Friday/Saturday nights. That seemed well worth the couple hundred dollar tip to the VIP host to make sure the night runs smoothly. In this instance, I'll defer to some of the more seasoned Vegas veterans... but I don't see why you wouldn't take advantage of the "too good to be true" deals on Vegas.com for Memorial Day Weekend.

Good point, it may be worth it to spend a bit more and know that we will be taken care of. The "too good to be true" part also concerns me a bit too.

I hope the best for you, but that deal is scary to me. Id even be concerned if a host offered that deal.

Yeah, I agree. My guess is that Vegas.com was not supposed to be offering that package on MDW, but the club forgot to remove them from the inventory. I spoke with a rep at Vegas.com who called the club and confirmed that the reservation would be honored. I guess we won't really know until the night of. Fingers crossed...

My group of 6 guys ordered the Vegas.com package mentioned above for this past Sunday at the bank. The host listed onhere told us before hand that we wouldn't get a table after we had paid and would end up at a bar or something so we contacted the club and they got back to us saying that we were lucky enough to get one of the few deals they had and we would be good when we got there. They said the host was informed and that we should get there at a reasonable time to be safe. We get there at around 11 and happen to have a group of girls with us too. The host said they're good since we had two extra spots open for the package of 8 people but the rest would be good if we tipped the host. Did that and we all got in, no problem. The table was in the champagne room aka the room you past through to get to the main club. We got 2 bottle of champagne and two bottle of goose. Everyone was very accommodating and the experience couldn't have been any better. One of our group even got there late and we had no problem coming down, pointing him out and getting him in for free and skipping the line. Kudos to the bank and the they're host for everything. Def worked or great on my opinion.

sounds like a good deal to me.
