I'm guilty of paying a premium for GG. So I guess I'm a tool. I wonder what I am for paying these clubs 600+ for the pleasure of a $30 bottle of liquor.

You are getting a lot more than the $30 bottle of liquor for that $600. Again, you don't see me arguing people paying for bottle service are inherently tools.
I'm just hoping ocam and BWD before paying the $100 extra for Grey Goose are staying in excellent rooms, taking top-notch transportation, and eating at amazing restaurants, since a pretty bottle and a different taste seem pretty weak compared to what $100 can get you elsewhere in Vegas. The lack of imagination in how one can spend money in Vegas is pretty disappointing. You guys seriously don't have a single place you could spend that $100 that would bring you more pleasure than the "premium" of Grey Goose?
Ive honestly never thought about how far I could stretch $100. Vegas wouldnt even be enjoyable to me, if part my planning was, how can I best spend a $100? Ill spend my money however the hell I want, and I could careless what anyone thinks about it.
And considering Ocam's post suggest he has a DF table at Omnia, and MGM Terrace Suite for LDW, Id say your questions are pretty silly.
How can I best spend my next $100 is the basis of all economic decisions, literally every decision involving preference and money. It's how we choose what we do with limited resources. Few people have essentially limitless resources and can literally have the best of everything all the time. Most people don't and therefore have to prioritize where they spend their money.
We don't necessarily consciously think "Where will I spend my next $100?" but for example we do decide to budget $1k for a night out, or $5k for a trip, or $10k for travel in a year. Then we decide which hotel room to stay at, which room at the hotel to stay in, where to eat, what to eat, how to get to the club, whether or not to do bottle service, and then how many and what kind of bottles to get.
I didn't say you have to care what I think, I know you don't, I'm saying I care how you feel, and I sincerely doubt the people paying $100 to upgrade to Grey Goose are maximizing their happiness. That I do care about, because the only reason I'm on this forum is to help others have a good time.
I actually know ocam goes pretty all out on his trips from previously discussing hotel rooms on a thread, but does he take a limo to the club, does he go to $200 dinner every night? He very well might, but my point is I'd hope he is before he's paying $100 to change the label on his bottle of vodka.

Reason: clarity
I get what youre saying - but to be honest on a table min, you have already paid the money. So that $100 isn't going towards a hotel room or limo - it's going on alcohol towards your min
And I would rather spend that on goose than buying 4 beers
Plus, if I was worried on a trip about $100, I probably would avoid tables
EastCoast: "I will preach. Vegas is easy. So easy. Either be rich or good looking (or mooch off someone who is one of those). If you are neither, then sit back, let the rich and/or good looking people sort their shit out, and then take their scraps. Booking early is not going to get you ahead of the rich and/or good looking people. Sucks unless you are rich or good looking. But that's what makes Vegas so great. It is completely transparent."

An absolutely reasonable point if the Grey Goose upgrade isn't putting you beyond your minimum. I'd probably spend it on 10 Red Bulls, but that's just splitting hairs.
salon suite in September at Wynn, prior to that Cosmo wraparound. My dollar goes to hotels, and clubbing.....and yes efficient quick transportation. On a usual Thursday to Monday trip, do one upscale dinner but for most part keep the eating pretty casual by choice....not fast food.
Well then you very well might be the exception who really is getting the most that they can out of that $100 with the bottle upgrade. So perhaps I should change it to "Almost anyone who pays $100 premium for Goose over Stoli is a tool." It doesn't change the point for a very large majority of people on this forum or in Vegas though.
