First time Irish visitors to Vegas - Advice please!

[irish_bear]

I've read through all the articles on here & various nightlife guides - I'm just looking some advice on a plan for our trip from you experts -
I'm travelling to Vegas 5th-12th July with my friend (both males aged 21), If I want to attend the big clubs & pool parties on head liner nights, is it wiser to book presale tickets now in advance? Or is it fine buying them when we're there, or will they be sold out. I'd say our budget is about $250 a night each.

On normal nights without a headliner eg Tuesday, can you just pay in at the door, General Admission? I've heard the lines for queuing are crazy every night. I've also looked at the bottle service option, but it's pretty dear, $300 , there are only 2 of us and I'd say chances are we'll find it hard to get another 3 or 4 to team up and pay the bottle service. Not sure what the whole guestlist / alternative options are. Only thing is there will be thousands of Irish into Vegas for the McGregor fight.

We're fine with visiting bars, as that's what we're used to in Ireland, but want to experience the nightlife as I'm guessing that's where all the females our age will be when we're there, clubs & pool parties! :-) I'm leaving on Sunday so I'd need to start buying pre sale tickets now if that's the best option.

Thanks in advance.

If you never been nightclubs open around 11pm with headline dj on around 1am going till say 5am
Pool parties open around 11am with headline djs on around 3pm going till around 6pm biggest pool party days are saturday and sunday.

Have a look at lineups to get idea of events.
If you look young you might be asked for id on casino floor.
Paying at the door is usually the worst way in long line and no telling how much cover charge will be.
Look on online for entry fees example xs is $35 presale ticket for a guy- just get the ticket.

give you rough idea on schedule-
sun 5th xs nightswim deadmau5
mon 6th xs nightswim dillion francis
tues 7th omnia nervo
wens 8th wet@night sultan/shepard
thursday 9th ebc@night tommy trash
friday 10th chuckie omnia
sat 11th afternoon pool party
sat 11th night hakkasan calvin harris (fight night) or xs
sun 12th

Just go pre sale now. I like Artedm's line up. I'm not about repeating locations during a trip so I would drop Monday Dillon Francis at EBC.

Not a fan of Hak for pre sale personally but if you want to see Calvin it's cheaper at Hak than Wet. Personally Calvin is Calvin and I've seen him enough times.

If my arm was twisted for Saturday pool I would go Cash Cash at MDC.

You may want to reduce your days out and pool a few days together and go with a table deal Thursday at Tryst with their bottle deals.

Just a thought.

If it were me and I was in town for that many nights (and maybe I'm just weak...very possible lol) I would not go out every single night but instead take a night or two off and take that money saved and roll it into another night and get a table somewhere one or two nights.

Probably a bit Hak/XS heavy on Art's lineup, and you'd miss most of the clubs in Vegas. I'd hit Drai's, Marquee,Light and Tao at the very least. They also are cheaper when it comes to pre-sale tickets.

Might I suggest the Sin City Club Crawl? Cost efficient, you see several clubs in one night. It's a good time with fellow party people.
