Get Into Vegas Clubs

How to get into Vegas Night Clubs...

First of all, don't wait in the lines, unless you know you're getting in. If you and your group are spontaneously trying to get into a club, I would recommend finding a doorman who has a clipboard and telling him how many ladies are in your group and ask him how long the wait is. If you go this route, you'll at least know how long you can expect to wait, but you'll end up paying cover charge.

Alternatively, if you know what clubs you want to go, put yourselves on the guest lists beforehand. You can do this online through each club's individual website.

There's usually no penalty for not showing up if you've signed yourself up on a guest list. So, unless, they've asked you to secure with a credit card, my trick is to sign up at a few different clubs. That way, once you're in Vegas, you have your choice, as well as a few back up plans.

If you're on the list, simply go up to the doorman and tell him you and your group are on the guest list and ask how long is the wait will be. This will help reduce the wait time to get into the Vegas club, but there's still no guarantee you'll get in and you'll likely still end up paying cover. The charge varies club to club, but it usually around $20 for ladies and $40 for men.

Nightclubs employ hosts who get paid to bring people, primarily ladies, into the clubs. The approach is very random and usually happens out of the blue, like outside Caesar's Palace or walking through the Bally's casino floor. The host will ask for a contact name, to put on the club's guest list, along with a cell phone number, so he or she can text you the relevant information. When your group is on route to the club, the host will ask you to text him or her and then meet you when you arrive. The host will then confirm with the doorman that your name is on the list, so be sure to give your real name. You will usually receive free drink coupons and be escorted into the club by the host.

There are also VIP hosting companies who do the same thing as above. The difference is, some of these companies charge a fee to the customer. So, they get paid twice, once by the club and again by the customer. However, there are some companies that are free to the customer, because they only charge the club. Las Vegas VIP is an example of such a company and has a great reputation. This is an excellent option if there's a club you really want to go, like XS, to or if you have a big group. Groups of guys usually have a tough time getting into the clubs, so going through a VIP host will save you a lot of hassle.

Ultimately, a club wouldn't be a hot spot if it didn't have a line-up. However, that doesn't mean you have to be a part of it. There's nothing worse than standing in a long line, watching other people cross the rope. Which ever method you use to get into a Vegas club, remember to look the part.

1) Look and dress the part. If you're not sure what to wear, then check out the following website, Spy on Vegas They post party pictures from the hottest clubs, which can give you a good idea what others are wearing to certain clubs. This website also has an excellent events calendar, which can help you determine what club to visit and when.

2) Be nice to the doormen. There's a lot of high profile people crossing their ropes, so attitude will get you nowhere.

3) Make sure there are girls in your group. The the higher the girl to guy ratio the better.

4) Large groups of guys will have a tough time getting in. Break up into smaller groups.

The scene is always changing, as new clubs pop up or older club re-invent themselves. The following is and updated list from Vegas.com
