Bottle Service in Vegas

For those not familiar with bottle service in Las Vegas, Miami or NYC, here's the scoop. Most of the popular clubs do not have seating for regular customers, once inside you can dance, stand around, lean on the bar (while customers try to negotiate around you for drinks) and stand up some more. Usually, all of the tables and seating are reserved (with little "Reserved" table tents) for people that are ordering by the bottle, not the drink.

The Cost

You can buy a bottle of Absolut for $25 and Grey Goose for $40 in most stores. At a hot nightclub, they will sell you this same bottle for $325 & $425 respectively. How can they charge that much for one bottle you ask? Cause they can.

Actually, they are selling you more than just a bottle, you are getting front of the line access, there is usually no cover charge and when you add up the costs, it really isn't that bad of a deal. Let's break it down like this:

Price of a bottle: $400. You get 20 drinks per bottle for an average cost of $20 per drink. If you split the cost by four, you are paying about $100 per person. Now, let's say you don't get bottle service at a regular Vegas club. Most clubs will charge you $30 per person for the cover charge, they will charge you $12-$16 a drink (times 5 will run you $60-$80), so you could easily spend that same $100 per person but have to fight to get into the club, get drinks at the bar and have no where to sit.

Of course, at LLive, you will never fight to get in, but the seating inside is limited. When you split the cost, it really isn't that bad of a deal.

Minimums

The standard rule is one bottle per four customers. If two couples share a table, they can get only one bottle. If your group is 3 or 4 couples, they will want you to get two bottles, and so on.

What is included

Usually, the club will throw in some basic mixers (like water, sodas, some juices & cut fruit). If you want, Red Bull, beers, a mixed drink other than the bottle you ordered or something special, they will add this to your bill. 

A good cocktail hostess will make you the best martinis, mixed drinks or whatever you need. They should be attentive, visit you often and make sure you are well taken cared of.

Where can you sit?

We have a full seating chart for each club with descriptions of the tables. Click here to see Prive's Table Chart and here for Wet Republic's Table Chart. 

How can I reserve a table?

Once you figure out which table you want, click on the "Reserve a Table" button on each seating chart. You will be asked to pick a table (if the table you wanted isn't available, pick another one (someone has beat you to the table - LOL). Once you choose your table, you will be asked for the name of the person guaranteeing the table, your LL screen name and you will have to check a box saying you understand the cancellation policy.

Make sure you arrange for any payment from any other couple(s) you are splitting the bill with. The club will only take one credit card per 4 person table. If you have a group of 12, you can use three different cards (one per 4 person table). If you use cash, then it really doesn't matter.

What is the Cancellation Policy?

The club expects a certain amount of tables to be reserved. If you reserve one and you don't show up, your card will still be charged a "No-Show" fee of $250. If we can sell your table that night, you won't be charged a "no-show" fee.

I heard there were long lines at last year's VIP line

We have offered bottle service at six different clubs during LLive and we've only had issues with one club (Empire Ballroom). They did a horrible job at getting our VIP's in quickly to their tables. This is why this year we are working so hard to provide more information, seating charts and credit card authorization forms. If you follow our procedures this year, you will get the best service in Vegas.

Bottle Service Tips

Tip #1: Get the money up front. If you are splitting a table with another couple (or several couples), figure out the cost (plus tip) and split the cost, but get the other couple's share before heading to the club. If you decide to order more, get the money when you order the next bottle. You don't want to be fighting about the cost later or lose a friend because they didn't throw in as much as you did.

Tip#2: Don't invite everyone at the party to your table. If you get more than 4 people to your table, they will want to raise your bottle minimum. It's O.K. for friends to stop by, but they shouldn't hang out (at your expense) all night. If they do linger and the club asks if you want another bottle, ask the visitors if they want to order their own bottle or suggest that they ask for their own table. They should get the hint.

Tip#4: Always reserve in groups of four. If you only have three couples, go out and find one more. Splitting two bottles between 8 people is a lot cheaper than splitting it between 6 people.

Bottle Service History

1941 
A Wartime Convenience
In Japan, ewers of sake are served to seated soldiers. Soon after, it becomes normal for Tokyo businessmen to buy bottles and store the unfinished portion in lounge lockers.

1988 
Guaranteed Access
With more customers than space, Paris nightclub Les Bains Douches begins selling table reservations, which come with a complimentary bottle.

1993
VIP Treatment
To promote a “small,” 200-person VIP section of the Tunnel, Jeffrey Jah and Mark Baker offer bottle service at $90. With drinks at $6, customers actually save about $30.

1995 
A Barrier to Entry
At Spy Bar, David Sarner and Michael Ault make bottle service mandatory for VIP-room access, with mixed results, then turn an entire club over to the trend at Chaos a year later (Stoli: $175). Thanks to the Internet boom, they meet with more success the second time around.

2001 
Bottle Service Reigns
Pangaea and Bungalow 8 open, joining Lotus to rule New York nightlife, with Bungalow charging $500 for a bottle of Grey Goose. And the fad spreads to Miami and Vegas.


2006 
Gimmicks Arrive
With seven bottle- service clubs on West 27th Street alone, owners have to get creative. At Pink Elephant, a “Spirit Tree” comes with mini-bottles of various liquors and “complimentary” sweets.
