Las Vegas Night Club Tips - Know before you go!

It can be pretty much impossible to get into some of the most famous and fabulous Las Vegas Nightclubs, unless you know
how-to avoid the long line-ups and rejections. You don't want to be waiting in a line-up on your vacation now do you?

You, of course want to have a great time and an enjoyable experience, on your 'big night' out when in this fabulous neon city. So listen up and read! Below you will find pro's and con's and tips on surviving the Las Vegas club hopping experience! Get your groove on! After all, it is the entertainment capital of the world...

Pros and Cons

Pro: There is a nightclub to please every adult age group, with unique themes and music to select from.

Pro: There are over 40 nightclubs in Las Vegas.

Con: Over 36 million people swing by here every year, which contributes to the long line-ups and rejections on entry.

Con: Line-ups at the top nightclubs, such as Rain and Ghost Bar, can be anywhere from 2-4 hours on a "hot" night, unless you have a VIP connection(see below).

Las Vegas is now the nightlife capital of the world. The super clubs that have opened in Vegas in the last few years rival clubs anywhere in the world. And the exclusivity of the clubs continues to build.

Without a VIP connection to get you into the clubs, you will be waiting in the long lines with thousands of frustrated would-be partiers.

TIP #1: Buy a VIP package that guarantees you admission to the clubs of your choice, without the hassle of waiting in line (see below). However, if you must wait in line, be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring a second pair for dancing. You will also need a lot of patience.

Large Groups - The Myth

Large groups have always be thought of to represent big spenders and welcomed because of the gaps they may fill up. This is just a myth today.

A group without a reservation must commit to purchasing numerous bottles of liquor upfront as well as pay table fees. Large groups leave big holes when everyone leaves, so they no longer have the influence they once had.

TIP #2: Reserve ahead of time! If you do not reserve, make sure you have the money to throw on a table or just bring a smaller crowd and make new friends inside.

Bling Bling!

The dress code is always in effect for Las Vegas nightclubs.

Never assume that you can get away with wearing your old ripped jeans, trainers or baseball cap. Do your research before you head out to boogie on the dance floor. You may be turned away at the door if you're not dressed suitably. After that long wait in line, your mood will sink and the only place you’ll be able to boogie will be the parking lot. No one wants to see that.;-)

TIP #3: Do your research online, or call ahead of time, to find out what the exact dress code is for the clubs you want to visit. It is best to have the minor requirements sorted out so you won't be disapointed come time to get jiggy with it on the dance floor!

VIP who?

You may be able to saunter into nightclubs in your home town, without waiting in line, because you know so and so, who knows so and so. But, it’s a whole different story in the "City of Lights".

Every night thousands of visitors try to smooth talk the doormen, give them cash, or charm them with their beauty or status, only to be rejected time and time again. A doorman might even black list you if you become a pain in the you-know-what. It is best to cooperate with the doormen so that you don't get blacklisted, then you can always return.

TIP #4: Don’t waste your time trying to bride the Doormen to get to the front of the line or into the clubs. It doesn't work! The quickest, cheapest and best way to avoid the line-ups, and get into Las Vegas nightclubs, is to have a VIP Pass (see below).

VIP Passes

There are basically two (2) levels of VIP Passes for Las Vegas nightclubs.

One VIP Pass will move you from the 2-4 hour line to the 1 hour line. Which can be very significant if you don't have the luxury of time, or patience. These passes can be purchased online for as little as $39 US.

However, to avoid the line-ups completely and get the limo ride, VIP table and the champagne, it will cost you a lot more.

You can choose from many "packaged" deals, or customize your own VIP evening. If you are with a group, a customized VIP package can be had for as little as $200 per guest, 8 person minimum.

TIP #5: Save your feet and a lot of time and aggravation waiting in lines (especially on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights) and order a VIP package online before you arrive.

You can be riding in style like a celebrity and jump the line-ups when you arrive. You will driven by limo and seated at a VIP table and be partying like a hollywood star! In short, you will be treated like royalty.

Enjoy your taste of the Las Vegas nightlife with a VIP connection. When in Las Vegas, treat yourself - you deserve it!
