This has been brought up before, but it's worth bringing up again. The terminology in Vegas nightlife, even for seasoned clubgoers, can get a bit confusing because terms often carry different meanings or weight in Vegas than they do in other markets. A couple of terms to start with ... "A comp card." Can also be referred to as - 1. vip card 2. club pass 3. vip pass Prevalent in some markets in the late 90s, these small little cards are making a huge comeback in Vegas in the last 18 months through online transactions that confuse even the sophisticated buyer into thinking they are something which they are not. While the name suggests "vip treatment", or a "pass" of the line, they are anything but that. They do get you - - free cover - discounted cover But they also get you - no "vip" treatment - no line "pass" - no faster entry. In many cases, you are placed in a line as long as the general admission line. - in some cases like for women, they get you the same free cover you would have otherwise gotten if you walked up to the door without the card. "Guestlist" In every market, the weight that follows from a guestlist can vary. In Vegas its no different. In many markets today, promoters do not list the details of the guestlist (free for girls, not free for guys) publically because of litigation on the subject leaving the clubgoer unsure what the guestlist is about. In Vegas, however, its always spelled out. They do get you - - free cover - discounted cover But they also get you - no line pass - no faster entry. In many cases, you are placed in a line as long as the general admission line. - in some cases like for women, they get you the same free cover you would have otherwise gotten if you walked up to the door without the card. "Line Pass" Line Pass is like buying ocean front property. Unless the listing for the house for sale says the precise words "ocean front", its not on the ocean. For something to be a line pass, it must say "line pass". The difference spanning the industry on line passes currently is two fold a) How do you effectuate the line pass How much are you saving money wise (separate and apart from the wait time) with a line pass a) A line pass is only as good as the ability to effectuate it. Imagine showing up to JFK arrivals desk at United with 3,000 people in line and thinking, "I got a line pass, I dont have to wait in this line" but next wondering "but who the hell do I turn to at that front desk of people to effectuate it". Line Passes based upon who you are getting them from should save you money on cover as much as wait time. They do get you - - free cover - discounted cover - line pass = no waiting in line "Bottle Service" While this sounds obvious, and is covered so often, people still do not have a clear understanding of the budget involved with bottles. Before you even discuss your host, or similar's fee, you need to understand that 11 people are not going to get in on 2 bottles. Numbers - 1 bottle per 3 people generally (rounded up) Price per bottle - approx $300 each + tax + tip
