Club Hopping

[the_animal]

Hey was wondering how to play out some club hopping on MDW. Thinking about getting a pre sale for the 1st club than bottle for the second I know for pre sale you have to be there at a certain time. Is this the same for bottle service?
Any one have any experience going club to club without spending to much money?
Thanks

If you are investing in bottle service or even a presale ticket, a club is more of a destination IMO. I wouldn't pay $100 on a presale ticket to hang at a club from 10:30 - midnight. Same goes for bottle service.

A scenario where I could see club hopping happening is if I am one guest list for multiple clubs. Maybe scope out Hyde early, than show up guestlist to a second spot say 11:00 - midnight. Than hit you bottle service club around 12:30 to get in 3 clubs and possibly throw in an after hours once you bottles dry up.

why want to hop?
Four reasons why hopping in vegas not great idea
1. all headliners start around 1am -main reason-
2. for bottle service early arrival is suggested for location
3. general logistics- moving between casinos
4. your doing it on one of the biggest weekends of the year

As an example
Most clubs open from say 10pm-4ish
if you had presales to two events same night- you could go to one right around 10pm hang for about two hours (warmup dj would be on) then leave say you get into the other around 1am headline dj would be starting.
That said is it worth paying for a warmup dj at one club when you could just hear a warmup dj at whatever club you want to end up at?

I wouldn't pay that much for a pretty sale too most I seen one was for $50 for Lil Jon on Friday @surrender. I heard of Hyde and Ghostbar never been to them but for pre game I might have to check them out thanks for the info.

Yeah i figure it would too much. Reason why I ask because the people I'm going with never been to Vegas this will be my 2nd trip there so trying to see all of Vegas as we can. And another reason different people want to go to specific places I don't mind that as long it works out. Not like I'm going to Vegas to sleep where going to be up all nite may as well make the best of it

The thing your underestimating is the amount of time it's going to take to get between clubs and also get into different clubs. If you get to the first club at 10, you could stay there for a couple hours till midnight. However, you'll then wait 20 min to get a cab plus another 10 min to get there. 30 min gone already. next you'll be showing up to the second club at peak hours so that means waiting another 30-45 min waiting in line, even for presale. you'll have wasted and hour to an hour and a half just getting to the next club, minimum.

If you're going mdw, you'll already be there for 3-4 nights. just plan on going to a club at least 2 of the nights and you'll get more than your share of vegas.

OK good point didn't think about time between clubs as well like ryan was saying. But were getting a limo so hopefully that cuts some time.

Maybe I can just stick with two clubs go to surrender that Friday and hit up drais for the after hours. I believe they open at 2am but close at 10am not sure tho

IF you're thinking of club hopping, MDW is the wrong time to do it. It's one of the busiest weekends of the year, and even if you have bottle service you'll probably get bumped if you try to arrive at 12.

Club hopping is usually a bad idea generally but during MDW it's a HORRIBLE idea! If you're really set on checking out as many clubs as you can, just do a Dayclub to NightClub to Drai's Afterhours. 3 clubs within 24 hours and no logistical nightmares to deal with.

Thanks for the info guys

Yep, i've been during LDW and you do NOT want to be trying to get cabs/into clubs (plus, presales for guys can end up ~$150 on a Friday/Saturday)
