Bottle service is an arrangement, in which the nightclub gives you a booth, private table, skybox or VIP Room to avoid lining up at a jam-packed bar. In addition, you are able to buy your complete line of alcohol drinks plus mixers and condiments, which are served by a personal waitress at your own table.
The Cost of Las Vegas Bottle Service
Just like everything else, the cost of bottle service ranges from one club to another and at a degree depending on the night. In essence, there are some factors to consider in reaching the overall price:
Bottle prices
These prices start from at least $350 per bottle of 750 ml at many Vegas nightclubs for Sky, Absolut or other regular Vodka and goes up from there for premium brands, specialty drinks and vintage champagne. These include mixers but expect to pay more for Red Bull. Remember that sales tax plus a service gratuity of about 18% will be automatically added to the total amount.
Guest per Bottle Ratio
Though majority of top clubs will oblige you to buy a bottle for every 3 guests belonging to your group, a number of clubs require you to buy a bottle for every 4 guests. Majority of clubs require a minimum order of 2 bottles per table whatever the size of group (at times, more during weekends, holidays and special events).
Table Charge
This is something that is not too clear since at times, this is a fee paid straight to the club but usually, it is the tip given to the Las Vegas VIP Host of the club to "make it happen". Based on the club, group size, host, night, table needed and your influence with the club, this fee can range from $100 to thousands of dollars in order to access areas often visited by celebrities.
If you think that these can contribute to a considerably large amount of change, perhaps you are right. However, considering what you are getting: an exclusive part of real estate for that night, access to an exclusive area that is not crowded and high status level plus great service, then it is really worth the additional cash.
A professional Las Vegas VIP host will negotiate for you to obtain the best rates on everything earlier mentioned and since they engage in business with clubs weekly; will be able to get the best possible deal for you. Most will provide this and more - guarantee that your reservation to make sure you do not get removed from the list upon reaching the club, getting you the best possible location and table, as well as making sure that you do not have to wait.
