Club: B.E.D. Miami
Situation: Winter Music Conference. There is no way to get in without being famous or having a bed (aka VIP table). You're with 15 people and can get the biggest bed in the club. Everyone is loaded and has no problem splitting a $4000 bill. Everyone is going to be completely obliterated on who knows what substances and therefore will want a bed to lay on.
Verdict: Worth it

Club: Crobar NYC
Situation: 8 people are out on a random saturday. Cover is $15 cause some crappy DJ is there and Sander Kleinenberg is spinning somewhere else in the city that night. Everyone is pretty broke cause you're all still in college so everyone is super nitty about making sure they don't get gypped on their drinks. The VIP tables are small and away from all the action.
Verdict: Not worth it

Club: Shelter, LA
Situation: There's 4 of you who all have good jobs and just want to get drunk. The VIP tables are actually individual pods that you can close the curtain to if you want, which is nice if you'd like to smoke a joint in there. You also have a place to take girls you meet on the dancefloor to make out (I'd never give them a drink from my bottle though). Cover is something ridiculous like $40/person when there's not even anything going on and you'll probably have to wait an hour for that. No cover if you get a bottle.
Verdict: Worth it

I can go on but you hopefully get the picture.
