  • Church of Yolo Presents - Vegas without a care

    I am starting to host parties for my friends just because.

    This was last weekend. I planned it for months getting multiple parties involved from my own personal group, other friend groups and JC members. I will post a semi-detailed text trip report below but figured I'd throw up the cool part first.

    Trip
    - Arrived Thursday night and slept at Mandalay
    - Checked in to Aria at 11 AM in room by 12
    - Connected with a group of 2, another group of 2 and a single lone ranger using JC "Get Connected"
    - Entire cost per person was $540 not including what they ate.

    Suite Party
    - We slept 14+ in the Aria Executive Hospitality Suite ($400 a night pre-tax with MLIFE Plat)
    - The room party was a blast but I need to work on making it more lively/epic next time (we did get a noise complaint)

    Drais
    We had a dance floor table at Drais with a 3k minimum for Borgeous with a $200 shake (I gave $400 though)
    - Table split was 8 guys from my own group, 5 from JC (3 separate groups) and 2 random friends of a friend.
    - We had 7 girls with us that walked in a minutes later
    - I tipped the busser $40 and security $120
    - The party bus was purely for pre-partying on and it cost $160 including tip (I ended with $200 because driver was awesome)
    - 16/16 people in the video had never had a dance floor table
    - 13/16 people had never been to a club before

    I will be doing this again in September (small one), October (Possibly big one) and November (the biggest one yet). Anyone is welcome to come as long as they are:

    - Drama free
    - Dress nicely
    - Pay up front
    - Ready to rage because we don't care what we look like

    -= Questions or comments please post below or email [email protected] =-

    Enjoy!

    I grew up in Vegas but never partied. I was there last September for little bros birthday in a shitty room in the Luxor that was grossly overpriced due to a boxing match that weekend. We had 10 dudes in suits all pretty much doing nothing but looking good. At that moment I saw the potential for a hotel party and began researching. A month later was my first club experience in San Diego (at 25 years old). I was blown away by the power of tables, the socialite experience and how beautiful most people there were. I was incredibly intimidated by the workings of it but over the last 10 months on here I have become a mecca of nightlife knowledge.

    I decided to start trying to throw vegas parties using my knowledge gained here and general event planner/group management experience I had gained from my Fraternity in college. I really wanted to party hard and I had been able to tag long with a rich group in college but that time had past and I was on my own now. My first one was in January of this year. It went well but was only the beginning. I found a better suite, a better club, a better group and did it again in March (which is the GoPro or GoHome video). The room party was good but i needed more girls to continue to sell it to additional groups. I had nice, smart guys, I had money from them, we had a nice room, booze etc but not girls. I went home and hit the drawing board again. Came back in May for a bachelor party and commandeered the group by being able to invalidate the all-in #'s the guy planning it was throwing at us for clubs and rooms. They had a great time and I knew July would be killer as I had tested the business of providing fun on 2-3 occasions now and had great results.

    July went very well. I was working with a friend from high school who is an independent host and "kind of" saw my vision for these. His only job was to get girls to the room and on the bus for the club and he didn't really pull through. I gave ample notice (I am extremely organized, almost obsessed) and it was his one singular job. He got me a great deal at Drais and the bus but it's not something I couldn't have done myself through here. I expected the room party to have a 2:1 ratio in favor of girls but it was the opposite. It still went well and everyone had a blast but it didn't reach my expectation which is an issue. I always have the club though as the backup plan Saturday night and it always comes through. We blasted through our minimum, had an amazing time and my entire group has been crawling on their knees begging to do it again. This is exactly what I wanted. As of posting my video on facebook/social media and advertising my November trip yesterday morning, I have had over 30+ guys willing to pay contact me. Yayyyyyy!

    I love editing videos and creating fun for others. In the end I get to plan my own fun and be the decision maker which to me is all worth the tens of hours of trouble, anxiety and worry. I love testing myself and after years of being a social hermit I am thoroughly enjoying the benefits of being a social party host. It used to be difficult to sell these trips to my friends and to coordinate it all but I feel very comfortable running them without an issue now. I am pretty strict with rules and very fair and that has enabled me to run flawless events (aside from the girlssssss).

    I work in high end IT and I have been a gamer my entire life. I am SUPER familiar with internet forums and the drama that goes with them and this site right here is an anomaly. I can't believe how supportive and helpful this community is. I love it and look forward to providing whatever assistance I can. Thanks to everyone that has ever provided and continues to provide such valuable knowledge of an industry so intimidating.

    November 21-23 is our next big one and then possibly New Years. If anyone is in town around that time, let me know and I would be more than happy to discuss what we can do to get you in on one of theses.

    I hope to soon be running a service as well where my friend and I come out and document your trip for you so you can show all your friends what Vegas is really about.

    Thanks!

                    Salute! Awesome video.

                    I am incredibly tempted to re-arange my entire US/CA trip to be in Vegas for Nov 21-23. I don't think it's possible but you'll be the first to know if it is!
                    Can't wait for the rest of the report.
                    Previous trip: June 30 - July 7, 2011. Stayed at the Palazzo & PH Towers.
                    Returning: Oct 31 - Nov 2, 2014.

                      Thursday

                      Leave Cali at 7:30 PM -> Easy drive with only minimal traffic. Quick stop for food and we're in vegas by 11:30. I have lots of friends/family there but I was hoping to make an epic stop at Sapphires using my roommate from college as our one way ticket to heaven on earth. His mom was the high school sweetheart of the VP of Sapphires and whenever I've gone there with him we are treated like royalty. In December we had a center table, Saturday 2 AM and two bottles comped. That was my first time at a strip club and while I'm not wealthy, all the girls were for sure convinced I was. So I was bringing Colin (The Reborn) with me and hoping to "surprise" him with Sapphires. He is a relatively quiet and reserved guy (prior to this weekend haha) and I often try to surprise him with fun, life changing events like the time in college where I put magic mushrooms in his tuna sandwich without him knowing and he had a GREAT TIME! Good friend Evan. We arrive, buddy says he's probably going to Sapphires with a group so we get dressed, pre-game and then he ends up not going. We decide on staying at Mandalay Bay. Book a room and then we act super lame sitting at a bar by ourselves but it's Thursday and we could use the rest. /sleep

                      Friday - Morning

                      I had been in contact with James (Double Fist) from the forums for 2 weeks prior. I first contacted him in a thread looking to split EBC tables and after figuring out he liked details and was down to rage, I added him to the list. He was coming with a possible group but they seemed to be falling through and relying on too much "winging it" so my route seemed most profitable in the fun department. James hits me up and says he has landed and if we can give him a ride. For sure! He's gonna drop some dough over the weekend and picking him up is a small price to pay. We hit Mcarren, grab him and end up driving a few miles to a Luxury Car dealership where he rents a high end Ferrari. The guy there was incredibly nice and Colin and I felt like we were longtime customers during the entire experience. James grabs the car, takes off and we don't see him till 11 PM that night. I really wanted to grab a ride in there, especially for some footage but I think he had other plans (*wink wink*) and that passenger seat would have been filled. James bounces, we get some photos and Colin and I head to pick up supplies. We spend $50-100 each at WinCo on booze/fillers and head to Aria around 11 AM to see if we could check in. Check-in goes smoothly, I ask for the highest floor and get 14 out 18 possible. We unload the goodies and head to the forum shops so I can buy my first materialistic piece of clothing. We hit the forum shops, walk for miles, get tired, rest, hydrate, continue walking, get lost, make it to Chrome Hearts and I buy a $108 wife beater because I can. It makes me look buff and awesome and I love it. We head back, pick up Frank (The Boneless) and make our way to the room for some nap time.

                      Friday - Night

                      The rest of the group shows up around 7:30 PM. We've got 11 or so people staying in this room. Everyone has napped and is getting ready for what we hope to be an epic party. We had 3 girls staying with us and had reached out to a good 10+ more trying to get them to come that night. My goal was to not have to worry about that part as my address book of females is not extensive yet so we were hoping to go through the independent host helping us with the weekend. Everyone is dressed and the party starts. A few more girls show up and the ratio events out. I had bought everything to make Adios Mother Fuckers which i always thought tasted great. Everyone thought the same and all of my supplies for those were gone in no time. It's ok though because each drink had about 4 shots which meant everyone was well on their way to getting wasteddddddd. We had each paying guy bring a bottle or chasers so we had a ton of alcohol. We dance a little, talk, drink, practice kung-fu etc. Nothing that eventful. I roam around talking to everyone, answering my phone (Sweet Baby Jesus did i spend a lot of time on my phone just texting) and making sure nothing goes awry. A few more girls show up, some good friends and then some guys I didnt really want coming but no sweat. We almost get some of the girls in the bathtub but I am the only one willing to go all out so it doesn't look like anything is going to happen. James and his friend Kyle show up, talk sports, drink some and bounce later. My mom ends up coming up at 11:30 PM which was a bit odd but I don't really care haha. She pounds a shot and bounces. We do get two noise complaints and it must have been from the sub just blasting the floor. I don't know who the fuck complains on a Friday in those suites (as they are all stacked on each other for floors 4 through 18) but we had to turn the tunes off around 1:30 AM. Everyone kind of dissipates, lights are off and we all crash somewhere on the ground. I didn't get as big of a rager as I wanted but with the noise complaint I guess it's kind of good. I realized though that I need to focus on getting beautiful women there because relying on my buddy did not work. If you want something done, do it yourself.

                        Saturday Day
                        I wake everyone in the room up at 8:00 AM by blasting music through the conference room sound bar. They get angry but once a beer is in hand things are back to normal. I had pounded coconut water, pedialyte, B12 and magnesium prior to sleeping so needless to say I woke up like a champ. It's amazing what you can do if you prepare beforehand. Two fireball shots each and a beer later and we are ready for the day. I had been trying to work with a few guys to get a dayclub set up but I also had my 7 man group with me. They could have done their own thing but I felt obligated to stick with them. James was really looking forward to a pool party but I couldn't convince everyone to spend $150 at LIQUID to get a Party pit. Later in the day he hits me up saying we can get a pad at EBC for cheap but the day is late, I just pounded 30000 calories and need sleep. We end up hitting the pool, melting our faces off in the sun and the cooling in the rain...? Everyone grabs the Aria buffet and then hits the sheets in preparation for Drais.

                        Saturday Night
                        The big event. The room party hadn't escalated to a full blown booze fueled orgy so I had to have a backup plan. I collected $400 from each guy prior to the party starting Friday and was relatively close to my needed all-in for a dance floor table at Drais. Borgeous was spinning and I like his style. I had enough money to swing either Tier1/DF at LIGHT or DF at Drais. I'd been to LIGHT quite a few times but Drais felt like it was calling my name. I had been getting quotes from around the world and ended up locking down a 3k minimum for middle Dance floor with $150 shake. At this point I had $3000 in hand but needed a little over 4k to secure the night. I had been working with some other JC guys on here to join our table but internet honesty and uncertainty is always a shadow in my mind so I was a bit worried up until we got on the party bus. Bus arrives at 9:30 PM. We board with 5 girls and 8 guys and hit the road. I like to have a bus pick us up at our pre-party spot and drop us off at the club. It just roams the strip, everyone has a great time, gets drunk prior to hitting the table and it looks cool. The cost was only $160 including tip but the driver was a badass and we ran a tad bit late so I threw another $40 on top. I ended up connecting with a guy from JC and coordinated picking him up with the bus at 10:00 at Bellagio. We pick he and his buddy (who happens to be the "Egg Emperor"of Turkey) up. They had enormous wads of cash with them and Aydin looks like a god damn super man. I know the value of looks and combined with money, a dance floor table and his accent, he was going to slay. We pick another two girls up and hit Drais.

                        Arrive at 10:30 PM, walked in by 10:45. We had 7 or so girls with us, they went in after. We get walked to the table location and when I see it my eyes light up. I haven't had a DF table before and most of my buds had never been in a club much less had a table or a dance floor one. When I saw where our night was going to take place I knew everyone was in for the real deal. This was the clincher in my mission to convince all my friends to come back again and again. The night was going to be balls to the walls from this point onward! We order a magnum of belvedere, a normal bottle and start drinking. 20-30 minutes in we still hadn't seen the group of girls. I get a text from Mery saying to "come get her". I ask where, she says "At your table stupid". I look around AT MY TABLE and don't see anything with boobs I know. I glance across the dance floor and notice that our entire group of girls got a comped table across the way and were drinking champagne there. I wander over, talk to security and rescue them from their free alcohol. We hit the night hard, dancing, drinking and living it up (as evident in the video). I had tipped the security guard $150 and requested that he memorize the faces here and keep anyone with a different looking face away including girls unless I said so. He's incredibly nice and down with the cause. As the night goes on I keep turning around finding more girls than I could ever imagine creeping up on our table from above. They look scandalous vultures on a telephone wire thirsting for the alcoholic meat down below. All the guys in my group are dressed as best as they could and literally fist bumping for 5 straight hours. We pass around drinks and dance. Mery has decided to make me her man which is fine with me as she is stunning and an alpha female. I'm all about the killers and I could see it in her eyes that she was a warm heart pumping cold blood. She's pretty wild and I definitely let loose at the table and on the dance floor. James and his friend Kevin show up and we pick up 2 bottles of champagne and continue the rage. These twins from my fraternity recently moved to Vegas and have since been hired by SLS to promote. They stop by and say hi. I grab their info and see if I can get up to the DJ booth where they are at. The price is a bottle and even though I could swing it I wasn't feeling that baller.

                        I see my friend, Sean (The Kraken) up on the booth and he looks a little tipsy. On the bus he had poured almost an entire glass full of Kraken (I believe by mistake lol) in effort to take a shot with me and downed it all. I think the booze tentacles have grabbed hold of his motor skills and he looks like his ship is sinking quickly. I try to revive him a little bit but he doesn't get the drift and wanders off. I figure he's hitting the bathroom. I dance more, fist bump, laugh, cry in joy, shuffle, hug people etc. Mery has to go to the bathroom, I ask the guard to escort her and she feels like royalty. Watching someone part the human seas for your date because you asked (and paid!) is a great sight/feeling. I get a text an hour later from Sean saying

                        "Meet me at the casino floor back at the casino floor".

                        First thought, why the fuck is he outside the club. I reply with "?"

                        "I got kicked out. I'll get back in"

                        Two minutes later:

                        "I can't get back in"

                        I talk to the host, we head outside and Sean pays $60 to get back in. He blacked out, has no clue what was going on (figures lol) and sat outside for an hour. He's sobered up a bit and is ready to finish the last 1.5 hours inside.

                        Everyone begins to leave around 4:30 (well they told us we had to leave lol) and we taxi it back. Half the group left a bit prior, the rest show up, a few are missing (left with some ladies) and we recap the night. At this point my entire group is already discussing the next trip (SCORE!) and how epic this night was. The guy that helped us with the table had commented on our group being "The most active and alive group" he's seen and that I'm one of his favorite people to work with to due to my attention to detail and strict adherence to a schedule. That left me feeling good and looking forward to future events.

                        I make horrible decisions (actually they were great) and watch the sun rise through the panoramic glass walls in the conference room while wearing my $108 wife beater and looking at the back of a female head. That was probably the most epic thing I could think of while coming down from all kinds of natural and synthetic euphoric feelings.

                        Great Success!

                        Conclusion

                          Thanks for the feedback. I love doing these and hope to be running events/videos once a month next year. November will be a big one and I have already started story boarding lots of the shots lol >.< film student ftw.

                            Unbelievable TR and video!

                            PS - I would love to see what a $108 wife beater looks like.
