Anyone have Vegas club hookups?

heading to LV in late July. been there 5 or 6 times before, but usually to gamble. Looking to do some clubbin' this time around (finally).

Staying at the Bellagio so hoping to talk concierge into entry to The Bank. Also eating at Alize at the Palms so hoping to hit up Ghost Bar after dinner.

The bad news is this is a guys trip and am going with 3 buddies of mine. I know about the dress code, etc, but have read it's tough to get 4 guys into a Vegas club. Thinking about bottle service at The Bank (probably will cost $400+? - is it worth it?)

Anyone have any hook-ups or advice?


Thx

Didnt like the ghost bar-PM me for a contact at Pure and the ***** Cat Doll Lounge-
XS was good-but service was horrible (ask for indoor table service-outside isnt much of a 'view")-more then $400+-2 of us at XS was $1100 and Pure was a little less-
some clubs will have a minimum 1 bottle per person (depending on group)-I usually go for no more then 3 days-and figure I'll spend twice on clubs as I don on gambling....
shoot me a PM for a name and #-enjoy!

I have lived here for four years and don't have any hook ups, hell I have only been to clubs a half dozen times or so.

To get 4 guys into a club you will need probably 12-16 girls in your group, sometimes 40
Table service will cost a ton, bottles usually start around $250/350 and go up fast.

You can get into almost every club, but it does require waiting in line for ~1 hour +

I know a girl whose group manages The Bank. I'm not sure what her exact position is, but I haven't talked to her since HS and that was some time ago. I could drop a line and see if she responds.

Not a dig on you, but I have never understood the appeal of any of this.....except for maybe going to a club with that sort of dude to chick ratio. I hope someone shoots me in the face if I ever need to spend $300 on a bottle of anything to feel good about myself. That said, I too will be in Vegas weekend after next. I was all about hitting Phoenix/Scottsdale and catching up with some ladies I know in grad school out there, but apparently all my buds saw the Hangover too recently or something so Vegas it is. Maybe we'll see you there.....

I dont want to spend $300+ to get bottle service if I dont have to - I also dont want to stand in line for 4+ hours (have read many stories on trip advisor about this) in the Vegas heat wearing nice clothes if I can help it.

Bottle service is just that-you buy the booze in the bottle at a huge mark up-but depending on the club-you get your own server (hot girl who stands there and chats with you), bathroom buddy (thug who follows you there and makes sure you're not bothered) and VIP entrance, ect-PM me and I'll get you into Pure with no wait-maybe XS too-I'll email the guy I worked with over there-no more then walk up, send a text to the phone, and maje your way front!
Like I said tho-me and 1 other guy-it was $1100 (not including tips....)-so bottle might be out for you if thats too much.
The Bel is great-I was last Encore and enjoyed the Wynn much better for gaming-Ceasers is a fun hang out-lots to do (forum shops, great tables, ect-and a couple clubs).
enjoy!

I don't want to spend $$$ on bottles either, that is one of the major reasons I don't go to clubs all that much. Other reason is I have no one to go with most of the time.

Most/all the lines for the clubs are inside so you don't have to wait in the heat.
Not sure how the clubs are doing now with the economy, lines might be shorter.

Easy way to save $, go to ebay and buy passes off there for like $2 for a whole bunch, youll wait in line still tons ( i think $25-$30 cover is ridiculous) but save as long as you get in by midnite.

OR- if you want bottle/table service call ahead in the early evening, if you reserve youll get right in and usualy find a contact. Some clubs will bargain rates for you as well, i had someone for P. Hollywood texting me all night until we finally got there.

I wouldn't drop it either. I go there on business frequently and get bottle service paid for by vendors, so I don't even pay for it and find it wasteful. Last time i went it was Studio 54 and they had to guarantee $1,000 or something like that. Absurd, for a couch, some vodka (ironically I drank beer) and some broads with skimpy outfits. About the only plus side was being away from the throngs of people downstairs.

I've found that people who pay for that need to feel special about themselves. I can feel special for alot less than $1,000 in booze.

Yeah I had a lot more fun in bars in S TX and the FL panhandle with $2 beers and college girls who weren't shopping for media types or doctors than I did last time I was in Vegas. Personal taste only though....I'm sure its great for some people who like to live large (and have the means to do it of course).

You can find passes for any club you want all over the strip, people hand them out all over. (not talking about the stripper cards).
I still had to pay $20 to get in LAX even with the pass. And for the next few hours we were packed in with very little room to move, not worth it. The next night at Pure was much better, the outside is very ice.
