Hi All,

Me and few pals (all males in mid 20's) are going to Vegas next Tuesday.

Obviosuly read many reviews on here on what the best clubs etc... are. However i know they are very exclusive especially to letting in groups of males and pretty expensive.

Does anyone know of some good smaller accommodating clubs dotted about the strip where we literally wont have to wait hours in the que and spend shed loads on drinks?

Cheers

Ox-Boy i suggest you look here:

Put jackcolton into google (it won't let me put the link as i'm a new user)

Loads and loads of info on how to get into clubs & what clubs to go to etc, forums on there have some helpful info too.

I would suggest that you use the contacts he suggests for each club and email them etc for deals / prices.

I've been to vegas 3 times clubbing and the info on here was priceless. Also i would suggest finding out what club you want to go to and email them direct. Pure in Ceasars is amazing an i managed to get on the "guest list" (which still meant about a 20 min wait as they ge everybody who has tables in 1st) and got in for free.

I've also done table service in various clubs but be warned it can be expensive, as you pay circa $500 for a bottle + grat + tax + tips!!!! Some clubs have a bottle minimum depending on how many what night etc.

Clubs are open most nights & i would suggest a week night as it canbe easier to get in and less of a wait, but at weekend they are very crowded ............ but it is a great night out, if a little expensive.

Have a great trip anyway!!

John

See how reviews differ. We both thought Terry Fator was a bit bland. Must have been a dry year for Americas Got Talent. He could have done so much more with the characters, and the constant drinking of water drove me to distraction.:mad:

Thats a real shame, thought he was brilliant, fits of laughter and just a genuine nice bloke. Perfect length and natural talent, no frills just talent.

Not forgetting resort fees

Different sites say different things
One I have read says for stays booked after may 1st a $15 a day fee will be cahrged.
Another site says a resort fee will be added for all stays after 15th May

i'm not sure, I had done a search for dates in August (always do to see what resort fee it indicates), and no resort fee's were mentioned so I would guess any bookings made after 15th May will have to pay the resort fee... or can they force a resort fee on you after you've booked?

Anyone know any deals for O at the Bellagio in May? We'll be in Vegas for 11th May-15th. The only deals I can see are for shows in April - or would there unlikely to be any money off as it's busier in May?

Bellagio website has 25% off the 10pm shows through end of May

Taken from Vegasmessageboard..looks like they intend to add it on


Mandalay Bay and THEhotel are adding a $15/day resort fee.

This was from a booking confirmation page for both sites:
Effective May 15, 2010 a daily resort fee of $15 (subject to applicable lodging tax) will be added to your account. It includes the following benefits: in-room wireless internet, cardio center access, daily newspaper, local and 800-number calls, outgoing faxes and boarding pass printing plus a coupon good for 2 free well drinks per room per stay at select casino bars.

Some great advice on here people regarding the Clubbing situations.

I'm swaying towards the 'nitetours' host option for a weekend night out becuase with 6 blokes think we will struggle on a weekend to get in anywhere

Here is a link to harrahs buffet offers, I cant get Trusts to work it is in red for some reason.

http://www.harrahs.com/buffets/

It is only 2 all day buffets per 3 day stay but I think it is still a great deal as that is $60 value and some nights are less than that

I will be using this excellent offer . Any suggestions on how I should divide my meals between different places? I will be having 2B, 1L & 1D.

My current thinking is:
B ?
L Rio or Flamingo
D PH
B Paris

(any with killer seafood/pasta?)

I'd skip the Flamingo mostly. I stay there and don't use the buffet-poor choices and generally not very good. The one good point is if you sit by the window you have a nice view of the Koi carp and the flamingos outside.

I like the Rio, Flavors at Harrahs and the Paris buffet. Not tried Caesers yet.My big concern would be what the queues are going to be like with this deal going on.
