Getting table service at swanky clubs

[junglewarfare]

When done right bottle service can be very kickass and definitely worth it. When done wrong it is an expensive and frustrating mistake. Choose your spots wisely.

Reading this thread, I just realized how cheap stuff is where I live, and how tight I am.

last time I was in vegas we got a bottle at Tryst (in the Wynn) - I believe it ws\as 325 for the bottle (1 liter of Jack) - plus tips all around - it really is not a bad deal if you set it up right with a Host and get a good table by the dance floor (of course you also have to tip him). In toronto a bottle costs about $180 at a nice club - we get a bottle 100% of the time we go out (as long as there is at least 2 of us)

In Vegas, I have found that having a table at a good location of a good club is VERY good in terms of meeting women or getting them to hang out with you, especially if you are a bunch of guys. Yes, some will just hang out to drink your liquor and soon leave, but overall, you get a good mix.

What is the protocol here? You're just drinking with your buddies and a hot woman comes up to you and asks if she can jump in? Does this work the other way around if I see a table with a bunch of attractive women?

Name some clubs and situations where it is "kickass and definitely worth it." Name some clubs and situations where it is not.

Thanks,

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.

It's obviously a horrible deal, but it's fun!!!!!!!!!

one of my friends thought it would be a good idea to get two more bottles (this time of champagne) at 3:45am, one of which he then proceeded to dump all over himself. Classic.

I just wanted to point out that instead of dumping a $400 bottle of champagne on himself, he could have saved these kids' lives.
