Presale Tickets XS

[QuocHuy7]

Just wanted to know the best way to get into XS without waiting in line and not having to do bottle service. We'll be a group of 4 (guys) arriving pretty late on Friday, May 30th, so don't think we could get to the XS until 11pm or a little later. Is the best way just to do presales? We're planning on getting bottle service at EBC if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

yes- presales
the headliner will not be on till 1am
Bottle service at ebc means nothing to xs

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

So you can get 4 guys into xs at 12am on a friday for less than $30 with no line.. really doubt that

Hakkasan has the expedited entry line which is x2 cover- has been $250 each this weekend-
a local person might know all the hosts/door people but for someone from out of town $30 each is very fair

Here's my two cents: If you don't have a solid host you've been working with for a while, pre sales are your best bet. If you buy tickets from the venue directly, are dressed correctly, and arrive on time, you will get in quickly without a problem. No questions asked.

The last thing I would want is to use a host I am not familiar with and get screwed at the door. Even if the host is a friend of a friend, be careful. I once used a host for a line skip at XS (this was a long time ago). This host was recommended to me by an old friend, and I was pretty confident that he could help us out. My group was 1M, 1F. We negotiated a handshake for a line skip and a comp for my lady friend. Long story short, he took a long time to respond to texts, and although we did get a line skip, both of us had to pay cover.

I guess the takeaway from this is that if you do not have a host you've worked with for a while, bad things can happen. If you want to be 100% safe, get a pre sale ticket.

my last time at XS we had presales, showed up past 11 and there was no line... we walked in through the pool side though, so maybe a different entrance? but yeah. presales are the way to go.

Had presale tix at XS last time; not only was there no pre-sale line, i still had to slip the line bouncer 20 bucks in order to jump the line. That wasn't fun, to say the least. I mean whats the point of pre-sales if there isn't a separate line.

[artedm]

definitely is a separate pre sale line

You got fleeced. Did you enter through the back of XS where the pools are? I've gone to XS 10+ times with presales and there's ALWAYS a pre-sale line. And it goes by pretty fast. Like going to a concert.

always a pre sale line... pool side entrance on busier nights (MDW, LDW, etc.) and the pre sale line is by the "normal" entrance on all other nights (the entrance between wynn and encore by the shops)

Thanks everyone! I already bought presale tickets so I'll be going that route. Good to know for the future though.
