This should be a required reading. Well done mate, i think its spot on.

Let me just say to both limodriverlv and greenie thank you. This is exactly the kind of honest assesment that i was looking for when posting on here. I ment it more as a cautionary tale than anything else. Consider this as a warning to groups of guys that go to the hot spots like Tryst. I mean the whole situation is riduculous when you think about it but vegas is not like anywhere else in the world is it ? I mean i really wouldn't be surprised if years from now people are gonna need a host to get into cool reastaurants ! Next time i go back, i'll be sure to seek help first.

First of all let me say that i completely understand that hosts have become a necessity in Las Vegas and who am i to bash your profession ? But the whole point in paying for VIP service, is in fact to be treated like a VIP. Not to be treated with the same contempt and disrespect. Like some how door people are superior to evrybody else. I have no problem with spending a lot of money. In fact i was more that willing to blow $2000 at a nightclub, which ive done before and was willing to do so again. But that money at least went directly to the nightclub that were providing a service. Not some dude who was looking to line his own pockets. Which to be fair is exactly what he was looking for, a hand out. Like i was in customs in some third world country. The interest of the nightclub as a business is to make money, just like any other business. Now of course you have to be careful of having the right look, the right music, hot looking girls and not having too many guys in the place. But if all i have to do to get in is not bother buying a table and simply greasing the door guy $100. Wouldnt that be cheaper for me and less money to the club ? Also let me tell you that they had not run out of tables by the time i had a arrived. If they had told me that they had run out of tables i would have said thats fine, I arrived too late and its my fault. I couldnt tell you the number of guys that showed up without a reservation, with a $100 that got in that night. All i wanna know is, who does that benefit ? The nightclub or the guys working the door ?

I know, i know another person bitching about nightclubs in Vegas. But i think i have a genuine beef this time. Okay so a couple of weeks ago i booked a table for Tryst for 5 guys. I got a call from Tryst to confirm my revervation which i did. I received anoher phone call on the day before (Friday) again to confirm that the reservation still held. Which i did. The hostess told me to show around 1030 to 11. So Saturday night comes around and low and behold there is a huge freakin line, with no seperation of people with a table and those trying to talk their way in. So after half an hour ,im not kidding here, of trying to get the attention of host i finally get to speak to one. I give him my name, he checks the list and finds me on it. He then gets on his headset and to supposedly check if there are any tables left. He then dissapears to let in im not joking here at least 5 more groups of people. So i try to get his attention again and he gives me a BS answer saying that they are busy and id just have to wait like everybody else. He the for the next 15 minutes pretends to not see me as im waving for attention at which point i finally lost my nerve and walked off to Lure instead. Now is it me or was that just rude ? Whats the point in having a table confirmed TWICE only for the a$$h@le host to only let in people that seemed worthy of entry. My money is just as good as evevryone else is and turning down $800 makes no sense to me at all. Rant over. Anybody else think this is ludicrous ?

Hey guys, Long time lurker, first time poster. I have to say that im very dissapointed. Im planning a trip to Vegas on the 21st and after reading many positive posts about Tao on a Friday night, i thought id make a reservation. Much to my surprise i was told that for the 4 guys including myself i would have to bring an equal number of girls. Now ive been to exclusive nightclubs, in London ( My hometown btw), New York and L.A where ive done bottle service litterally dozens of times and have never heard from such demands from ANYBODY. The whole point in guys doing bottle service in the first place is to 1) Guarantee entry, 2) Jump the line and 3) Get hammered enough to hit on quality birds. So whats the freakin point in spending $900 only if its BYOB ? (Bring Your Own Birds ) Somebody explain, Please !
