The VIP Host is the person that is with you on the night out and put simply, handles every aspect of the evening allowing you to relax and get on with the business of having a great time. Naturally he/she will arrange no-wait VIP entry to the clubs but will also ensure that your transportation is there when you need it to be, that your correct choice of drinks are on board and basically screen you from all the hassle involved in organizing a group event.

A VIP Hosting company such as Your Las Vegas Guide will not only provide you with the best possible VIP Host but work with you prior to the event in order to recommend the most suitable venues/nightclubs, suggest a program & timings to meet your requirements, provide invaluable inside information, pre-book the transportation, handle payment etc so that the night itself goes off smoothly and hassle-free.

In Las Vegas, “VIP Hosts” range from the most fully connected professionals where everything is possible to happy amateurs, moonlighting bar-tenders through border-line pimps peddling burned-out strippers tasked with milking you for every dollar they can. Harsh, but unfortunately true.

The most important thing when selecting a VIP Hosting company is to know who you are dealing with. In today’s day and age anyone can create a fancy website and promise the earth so these are the key things to know and questions to ask any company that you intend to entrust with your money and big night out:

1) Is your company bonded and licensed?
In other words what financial protection is provided if they do not deliver what was promised or, God forbid, disappear with your cash. Financial bonding is a legal requirement of any legitimate tour operator offering transportation and access to venues in Las Vegas.

In the event of a valid complaint against our company you may contact the Nevada Consumer Affairs Division and receive a refund from the substantial funds we have provided in our bond without the need for legal recourse. Please see http://www.fyiconsumer.org/ for more information.

2) How many nightclubs do you work with in Las Vegas?

You want to know if you are getting a truly independent and impartial recommendation on which clubs to go to.

Your Las Vegas Guide work with every nightclub in Las Vegas and we are more than happy to offer an impartial view on the best clubs to go to based on your individual requirements.

3) Are you able to obtain no wait, VIP entry at all Vegas nightclubs without us having to pay for bottle service?

The key thing here is to understand how “hooked up” the company actually is rather than be sold on just a few clubs that the company may happen to have contacts at.

Your Las Vegas Guide can obtain VIP Hosted access to every Las Vegas nightclub whether or not you require bottle service.

4) How long has your company been in business and how many guests do you host each month in Las Vegas?

Your Las Vegas Guide is part of the Group which has been established since 1994 and has offices in the USA and Europe. Your Las Vegas Guide currently hosts an average of 1000 clients per month in Las Vegas alone. Full details of the other companies within Group are available here

5) Do you GUARANTEE that we will get what you have promised?

Your Las Vegas Guide stand by our promises, excellent reputation and ability to get the job done. Bottom line is that if we don’t get you into the club, you don’t pay for that part of your package.

IN SUMMARY:

Accept nothing at face value, know who you are dealing with and don’t be afraid to ask for references from previous clients or check out the companies track record with the Better Business Bureau & Nevada Consumer Affairs Division.

If it’s you that has been tasked with planning the party then naturally you want to get it right. It is after all, a BIG responsibility. Deliver the goods and the guests will regard you as a superhero. Get it wrong and, well, let’s not even go there.

The best single piece of advice we can give you is to use a professional party planning service/VIP Hosting company such as Club Viva. Yes we may be biased but think about it: A team of local professionals with in-depth knowledge of all the best places, key hook-ups, access to discounted rates and experience of hosting literally 1000s of parties is going to be worth their weight in gold when it comes to delivering the best possible Vegas experience.

Remember also that most Las Vegas nightclubs are not so welcoming to big walk-up parties (particularly all-male groups) so your VIP Hosting company is going to open doors that would otherwise remain firmly closed. And those doors by the way lead to the places where you really want to be…

Regardless of whether you choose to go with the professionals or go it alone, before you get sucked into the detail, begin with the basics:

1) Guest List / Group Size

Draw up the list of those to be invited. If it’s a bachelor/bachelorette party think carefully about whether it’s really a good idea to invite your father/mother in-law and don’t be afraid to leave “that guy”/”that girl” at home if they are likely to affect everyone’s enjoyment of the event. The key aim at this stage is to get a realistic idea of what the group size is going to be, planning for 20 which then turns out to be 6 (and vice versa) is going to cause all sorts of headaches you don’t need.

2) Budget

We can’t stress how important it is to agree a realistic budget per person that is going to work for everybody in the group. Set it too high and the drop-outs will be numerous when it actually comes round to them cutting the check, so consider what is most important to you: having all your best friends there or pricing some of them out.

3) Dates

It sounds obvious but choose a date that is going to work for the majority of the group and give everybody plenty of notice. As with all things you can’t please all of the people all of the time so you may have to lay down the law if you find yourself going round in circles trying to accommodate everybody’s schedules.

Get the above agreed up front and you’ll be less likely to have the hassle of a constantly changing group size or wildly differing expectations of what the party is going to entail. So, onto the next step:

4) Decide on the Program of Events

You will no doubt have your own ideas about what the big night out is going to include which may be any combination of the following:

Dinner

Starting with dinner is always a good idea if for no other reason than ensuring that everyone has their stomach lined before hitting the booze! Club Viva is happy to provide recommendations on restaurants to suit your budget and requirements.

Lounge/Bar

Consider kicking the night off in a lounge or decent bar to be in an environment where the volume is not ear-bleeding and the group can gel and chat comfortably. Club Viva can recommend some excellent venues that also offer spectacular views of Las Vegas.

Gentlemen’s Clubs / Entertainers in your Room

Las Vegas has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of adult entertainers but be careful as all are not created equal! We recommend going to a quality gentlemen’s club rather than bringing the entertainment to you as the cost is significantly less, the quality better and your choice way more varied. Similar options are available for the ladies too!

Shows

Of course Vegas is known for its amazing shows but our suggestion is to leave those for another time. The dynamics don’t work so well with group events.

Nightclubs

See our Vegas Nightclub Guide or call us TOLL FREE on 1 888 847 5868 / 702 454 9406 for impartial advice on the best clubs to suit your requirements. Consider also whether you want to have a table with bottle service (see Essential Guide #2) and when planning your schedule bear in mind that most Vegas clubs don’t get kicking until around 11pm.

After Hours Clubs

Most regular Las Vegas nightclubs wrap up at around 4-5am so if you are looking to extend the party further then a good after hours club is the way to go. These are also covered in our nightclub guide above.

Activities / Attractions

Las Vegas has a great selection of thrill rides and other activities such as shooting & indoor sky-diving but our advice is to keep these for the day-time. Hitting the shots followed by the roller-coaster is inviting a rapid reappearance of your dinner and an embarrassing trip back to the hotel to shower and change. Las Vegas at night is a sight to behold though, so a cruise of The Strip in your limo or even from above in a helicopter can definitely add a touch of magic. Club Viva will be happy to arrange this for you.

Gaming

You won’t want to put your whole night over to gambling and for sure splitting the group up amongst the slots is not the best way to get a good group vibe going. Having your group take over a blackjack, roulette or craps table though for half an hour or so can be great fun and definitely raise the energy level. Remember your drinks are free when you are playing too!

Transportation

If you are hopping around between venues then it’s an absolute must to have your transportation prearranged. On a weekend taxi-lines can be horrendous and having to split your group between vehicles is never ideal. Club Viva can recommend a full choice of transportation options ranging from limousines, party buses and regular coaches through monster limo-buses that can only be described as nightclubs on wheels! Having the right transportation available when you need it and be able to enjoy a drink onboard will keep the party going between venues and add greatly to your enjoyment of the evening.

Remember also that if you are in town for a few days then you don’t need to try and cram everything into one night – who’s to say the party can’t be a 72-hour affair?

5) Arranging Payment

Now that you have your group and your game-plan in place the final thing to do is to organize payment between the guests. Using a professional VIP Hosting company offers the convenience of making a single payment to a single supplier and Club Viva also provides an easy option that allows you to pay cash on the night.

The key thing here is that you don’t want to get stuck with paying for everything up-front then be left holding the baby should any of your guests drop out (it happens!). So our best advice is to collect individual payments from guests prior to making your reservation or at the very least get a commitment from each guest that they will honor their share of the cost if they are forced to cancel. And if you do intend to pay cash on the night then be sure to collect it from everybody at the very start of the trip. Vegas is full of temptations designed to part you with your money and you wouldn’t believe how many parties get affected because some of the group blew their cash gambling before the party even got started.

GENERAL TIPS FOR THE PERFECT PARTY

1) Do make the effort to actually plan your party and appoint a person to be in charge of the festivities; arriving in town then making it up on the fly is a sure-fire recipe for dismal chaos.

2) Plan well ahead of time to get the best deals and to avoid schedule clashes with your guests.

3) In our experience a program that involves hopping around 2 or 3 different venues makes for a far more memorable experience than spending all night in a single club.

4) If you have a limo pick-up at the start of the evening, arrange for all guests to get together in the hotel bar at least 20-minutes prior. That way you don’t lose your limo time if somebody is late getting ready.

5) Ensure that everyone is in dress code (see Essential Guide #3) and has their money and photo-id with them before leaving the hotel.

6) Don’t get too hammered before the night even kicks-off! Las Vegas nightlife doesn’t get moving until late and being back in bed while everyday else is having the time of their life is just not cool.

7) Don’t listen to misinformed opinions. Everybody likes to think they “know Vegas” and will have tales to relay from previous visits. This town changes quickly though and last week’s hot-spot is this weeks old news so base your decisions on solid, up-to-the-minute information from those that are genuinely in the know.

Have everybody contribute to a drinks kitty to make it easier to pay for drinks when in the clubs and if you are ordering bottle service collect the money from everybody at the time you order.

9) If you are planning to have both your wedding and bachelor/bachelorette party in Las Vegas, schedule at least a one-day “recovery period” before the wedding day. A mammoth hang-over is not going to add to your enjoyment of the biggest day of your life.

10) Don’t even think about having the bachelor and bachelorette party together or even meeting up at the same venue. More often that not it leads to unnecessary drama that you really don’t need. We’ve been there.

IN SUMMARY:

One thing is sure though – nothing is guaranteed to screw up your night more than getting to the front of the line only to be sent back to the hotel to change. Bottom line is there’s no point taking a chance, so just follow these simple guidelines to avoid any unnecessary hassle.

GUYS

Best bet is simply “dress to impress”. That means no tennis shoes, sandals, shorts, ripped, scruffy or baggy jeans, sportswear, jerseys, tanks, baseball caps or inappropriate attire.

Jeans are perfectly acceptable at all Las Vegas clubs as long as they are smart; dress pants are not necessary.

For shoes we recommend leather dress shoes as some of the top clubs refuse Diesels and other shoes that are styled like sneakers. Definitely no work boots (including styles such as Timberlands).

We recommend a collared button down shirt; really nice fashionable T-shirts are sometimes accepted but not worth the risk.

Hats are best avoided unless you have a burning desire to wear one, never a baseball cap though.

As a general guideline we’d suggest that bachelor parties avoid the “Team” outfit for the evening. As well as attracting unnecessary attention from the club staff they also severely restrict your chances with the ladies!

GIRLS

The good news for girls is that dress code is nowhere near as strict as it is for men and you’ll no doubt be looking a million dollars for your big night out anyway. The same basic rules still apply though so avoid sneakers, sportswear and caps.
