Vegas Club Tip #5: Bottle Service

Bottle service is the most exclusive way to enjoy a nightclub. Aside from skipping the general admission line, you will also have your own security guard, table, and seating usually roped off from the rest of the crowd. A beautiful, charismatic, and energetic cocktail server will pour your drinks, mix your shots, & light your cigs, all while smiling and dancing. The stuff dreams are made of...

Here's what you need to know:  Table pricing is based upon the number of people in your group. The more people, the higher minimum to reserve a table. Groups of all guys will generally pay higher minimums than mixed groups or all girl groups. Location determines minimums as well. If you want a prime location on the dancefloor expect to pay elevated prices. Expect to pay more on holidays and for special events. This is simple economics: supply and demand. Tax and gratuity are additional. Add an additional 8.1% for taxes & 20% gratuity to your bill.

To make a table reservation contact a reputable VIP host who will listen to your needs and work with your budget.

Vegas Club Tip # 4: Halloween

If you have never been to Vegas for Halloween you are missing out! Vegas celebrates this holiday for a minimum of 5 days! Big money costume contests bring out the best costumes you will ever see at the hottest nightclubs in America. Here's some things to keep in mind when heading to Vegas for Halloween:

1. Get creative & be outrageous! Almost anything goes in Vegas, so go all out with your costume. Can't decide what you want to be? No problem... With multiple nights to celebrate you can wear 5 different costumes if you choose.
2. Think comfort. You will be in this costume all night, so you want something that isn't going to make you miserable while your dancing the night away with your friends. Avoid wings of any type. It makes walking through the club nearly impossible, and will annoy you and everyone around you. You will also want to consider where to carry things like your ID, phone, camera, & money.
3. Avoid fake weapons and masks, hotel security won't let you on property with either of these items.
4. Contact an experienced Vegas promoter to let you know where the best parties & costume contests will be and save you time & money by putting you on VIP guestlists.

Vegas Club Tip # 3: Pool Parties

It's heating up on the Las Vegas strip & you know what that means... POOL PARTIES! Why wait for night time to get the party started when there are so many dayclubs offering big name DJs, dancing, and drinks? All the fun of a nightclub in the comfort of your swimsuit. Here's what you need to know...

1. Get on the list in advance. The guestlists are turned in the night before, so showing up at the entrance expecting to get right in will put a serious damper on your plans. Contact a reputable promoter in advance to help plan your weekend.
2. If you want a place to sit, expect to pay for a lounge chair or daybed. Prices range from $50 on up to $2500 for a cabana. 
3. Bring & wear sunscreen. Drinks start flowing and people forget to protect their skin. That sexy strapless dress isn't so hot with lobster burnt bikini strap outlines. Raccoon eyes are only a good conversation starter at the office during ski season, not on the dancefloor.
4. Drink lots of water. For every cocktail, follow up with an ice water. Dehydration will end your day in a seriously bad way. You don't wanna be that guy, rolling out on a stretcher or in a wheelchair.

I also suggest leaving some time in your schedule for a disco nap. The sun really takes it out of you, so if you expect to make it through the night catch a few zzz's at the hotel before heading out to dinner. Cheers!

Vegas Club Tip # 2: Mixed Groups

It seems like Vegas clubs give girls the red carpet treatment and leave the guys waiting outside in a long line.  This is true to an extent for various reasons I won't get into at this time, but there are several things you can do to make the most of your club experience, guys included. Groups of all girls will always get into clubs the fastest, but here are some ways to move things along if there are guys in the group, without buying a table.

Be honest up front.  Tell your promoter there are guys in the group.  Most clubs will accommodate mixed groups with even number of guys and girls. Everyone will enter together through the same line.

Arrive early! There are less people and the lines move faster. For some reason everyone seems to think it's cool to wait until the last minute to check into the club. For this reason guestlist lines clog up and often times you are stuck waiting until after the list closes. Most clubs allow re-entry. My suggestion is that you arrive early and get stamped then you can leave the club to eat or gamble until the cool crowd arrives.

Dress sharply. You might see guys inside the club with T-shirts and Chucks on. They are either in the industry or a table client. Dress code will hold you up at the door every time.  Wear a button down collared shirt and dress shoes. Jeans are ok. Polos and sneakers are not acceptable at most venues.

Be prepared to pay a cover charge. Most clubs will allow guys to enter through the guestlist line with the girls, but will require a cover charge of $20-$50. It's ok to ask about reduced admission ahead of time but don't expect your promoter to be able to comp admission for guys, especially on weekends and holidays.

To recap: Be honest, arrive early, dress sharply, and be prepared to pay a cover.  Follow these simple rules and everyone in your group will enjoy their Vegas club experience.

Vegas Club Tip # 1: Street Hustlers

What is a street hustler? How do you avoid being scammed by one? Chances are, as soon as you hit the strip you will be harassed by one.  They come in all forms, from the well dressed business man, to the ill-groomed dirty guy lacking a dental plan.  They will offer you the sun & the moon for any nightclub in town, and often have stacks of "VIP passes" from every club.

These guys DO NOT work for a club.  They will tell you anything to get you to accept their "free passes" for a tip often times to the tune of $5-$30 per person.  This is a scam! These passes are FREE, and a marketing tool for clubs on the strip. Do not stop and talk to these guys, they are very smooth, and they will say anything to hustle you for whatever spare cash you have on you.

What to do: The best way to avoid this type of scam is to make arrangements BEFORE you get to Vegas with a reputable club promoter that works directly for the nightclub you wish to visit.
