Bottle service - day club or nightclub?

[seanc]

Hi,

i'm sure opinions will be mixed, but i just wanted to get some pros & cons for doing BS during the day vs night?

There are 3 guys going over for a long weekend in July and haven't got a huge budget so will probably only do Bottle Service once.

which clubs are best for GA and what's the difference between day & night bottle service.

Which gives you the best value and atmosphere?

I personally prefer doing a dayclub min vs bottle service at night, but for best bang for your buck I would recommend you do night.

At day clubs if you go early enough you can find a place to lay down your towel, chill in the pool, etc. I feel like at night time having a place to sit, hangout and a table to bring girls to will give you that much more of an experience.

If it were me, I would go GA at somewhere like Wet Republic or MDC/EBC and do BS at night at a place like Light/Omnia/Hakkasan.

You can always look at doing a split with people here on the forums too. I've partied with JC'ers a few times in the past and they were some of the best parties I've been to.

thanks for the tip.

Why do you prefer doing bottle service at a dayclub?

we are staying at the cosmo so planning to do MDC (free entry) on Friday.

If you only have 3 guys, and a limited budget I'd do a day club hands down. You can get a lot out of a $500 daybed or table. If you're willing to do a table split, then a big nightclub is an option.

It depends on your interests...but bottom line you can't go wrong.

For example, for $1000 I rather spend it on a table in the evening then share a tiny day or lilypad with a couple people at the pool.

But on the other hand, at the majority of pool parties...if you don't have a reservation, you're kinda just standing around the whole time. CCC makes a great point as well..$500 at tier2 pools like Tao Beach or Liquid can go a LONG ways.

This is a tough one regarding day vs night.

I'd say its a ceiling vs floor thing.

With day, because the venues are so much smaller, without BS you're kinda just wandering around a lot. So you have a lower floor but a lower ceiling.

With night, you can easily have a great time without BS, however your ceiling is much higher because shit get's crazy at night.

in the end, depends on what type of group you have.

Thanks for the advice so far;

Which do you think are more suited to GA, day or night clubs?

For me, it's the atmosphere. I love being outdoors while partying in Vegas and I feel like you can talk to people more at a dayclub vs. night club.

What others said about getting a lower minimum is true too.

You can always think about doing budget tier 2 parties for both dayclub and night club - for example if you do Tao/Liquid as mentioned for $500, and then Tryst for $550 for 2 goose - you're probably spending all in - $1350 before host tip for 2 decent bottle service parties.

Depends what you are after. Some people like to get sweaty and in the thick of the dancefloor at night : if you're that kind of person, then having a table can seem a little pedestrian and "out of the party".

Key difference for me is that it is much harder to find a spot to sit down / rest / relax at night, rather than the day - and this is why people prefer to get tables at night (especially if there are girls in your group).

There also seems to be more space at dayclubs, than nightclubs - so GA is better.

All that being said, I actually prefer dayclubs and having a good spot - like an EBC lilypad - because it's an experience we don't have back here. You can also use your minimum on pitchers of cocktails and just chill, rather than smacking down mixed spirit drinks all night.

appreciate this information!

I'm only 30, but definitely not that fussed about being on the dancefloor all night!

The dayclub BS sounds more appealing, we arent big spirt drinkers, more beers to be honest! We are planning to do ECB on Friday 10th July for TJR, we dont want a lilypad because we want food, what would you recommend for 4 guys? Beach couch?

[ocam]

If I was you, I would just do the lilypad, if they allow a group of 4 guys - though if they say you can't have one with an all male group, often a tip will magically permit it.

Order and eat food over where they serve it. Yes, this will be additional to your min and you can't eat it on your lilypad, but the position right on the water is worth the inconvenience.

The fallback would be a well-positioned beach couch.

thanks for this. any tips on the best positioned beach couch and how to get it? I've looked at the interactive map and cant seem to find the beach couches?

You will have better chances of selecting your spot with a host tip. You should discuss in advance with a host how much you will need to secure a particular spot.

If you look here: http://vipnite.com/maps/encb-25w.jpg

I'm pretty sure those are beach couches at the bottom L/R of the stairs from the gaming pavillion.

This is where I'm at as well. I also hate not having a home base at a day club.
