Bottle Service Las Vegas
What is the Point of Bottle Service? Bottle Service is the ultimate clubbing experience. It allows for a seamless entry into a Las Vegas nightclub, dedicated real estate inside the club or Vegas pool party (a place to sit for the event), and VIP status. In other words, Bottle Service attracts attention. These days, almost all clubs and Las Vegas strip clubs offer VIP tables arranged throughout the venue, so you have quite a few options. In this guide we are providing you with everything you need to know about bottle service in Las Vegas.

What is Bottle Service?
By definition, bottle service means purchasing alcohol by the bottle instead of by the drink. Some people refer to it as table service; this is the same thing. American clubs, especially in Las Vegas, are synonymous with "Poppin Bottles." You will be paying a premium for a bottle to reserve a section in the club, but on a high note, it includes a personal server, VIP entry, and usually an assortment of standard mixers such as Cranberry, Orange, Pineapple Juice, soda, tonic, and soft drinks. Red Bulls and waters are extra. Garnishes such as lemons and limes are included, and champagne comes with strawberries.
If you're wondering if you can order individual drinks at a table. The answer is yes; however, the cocktail servers prefer you stick to bottles or order beers and drinks in quantity for your Las Vegas drinking. Bottle service also comes with bussers, who are typically fantastic at keeping your ice bucket filled and your mixers on point, and Las Vegas Security. If you have any unwanted guests, ask security to remove them. We do not encourage you to get into a confrontation with uninvited guests. This can lead to altercations that end up getting both parties kicked out. We also offer personal security if you would like a body guard dedicated to your group.
We have some popular package deals, which I'll discuss below. We also have some deal clubs around town if you have a tighter budget. There are a few places in Vegas where they charge for the real estate and then less for the alcohol. A couple of examples are The Flamingo Go Pool, Venus Pool Lounge and Moorea Beach Club. This changes yearly, so ask your Surreal Las Vegas Host for this year's program.
What's a Minimum Spend?
The minimum spend is the amount you agree to spend in advance on alcohol to get a table or real estate in the nightclub. In Vegas, we call the minimum spend "the min." The better tables will have a higher minimum spend, and you can expect a higher "min on bigger DJ nights." Please keep in mind that all clubs in Las Vegas operate on a supply and demand system. When we quote pricing, that is only an estimate based on what we think the demand will be for that night. For the most part, with our strong connections, we can deliver on what we promise. The best way to "work with the system" is to make sure you arrive early and meet your host on time.
How does Bottle Service work in Las Vegas?
To reserve a section at dayclubs and nightclubs in Las Vegas, you must agree to pay a minimum spend. The clubs sell tables, or real estate, at a high markup to cover the costs of operating the venue.
What Influences the Costs of Tables in Las Vegas?
Several factors go into determining the minimum spend for a table. Bottle service in Las Vegas is always set up on a supply and demand system. A general rule of thumb is when inventory is in high demand; the prices will be higher. In the off-season, when the pools are closed, there is less demand, so typically, the prices will be less.
Other Factors that Influence Prices
How do you pick your Table Location?
Generally, you will find the tables closest to the dance floor or closest to the DJ are the most expensive. As you work your way back from the DJ, those tables cost less. Another example is that if the DJ is facing inside the Club and they are seating outside (looking at the DJ from behind), those tables will be less.
What about the Size of My Party?
A good rule of thumb in Las Vegas is one bottle per four people. Most of the entry-level pricing will start here. The larger the group, the more bottles you need, so the higher the minimum. For example, if you had 12 men, you could safely assume you would have to pay a minimum of at least $1500 to $2000 or approximately 2 bottles at most places.
What About Music Genre?
Nowadays, big-name EDM club DJs, Latin music club DJs, and famous Hip Hop club artists demand a hefty fee in Las Vegas. The artist fee is determined by the size of the venue versus how many tickets and bottle service tables the club can sell. The corporations and the DJ agents negotiating the deals have this figured down to a science. So, you can safely assume you will pay a premium at the club if you want to see a popular DJ or artist. EDM, Latin, and Hip Hop Clubs have big artists, and typically, you will see the biggest names on holidays or fight weekends.
Booking Large Artist Events
Big-name artists like Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Zedd, Martin Garrix, and The Chainsmokers get an insane fee these days. We hear it's as much as $350k or more per show in some cases. Keep in mind these clubs are in business to make money, so to turn a profit on these high-overhead nights, they must charge crazy money for the tickets and the tables.
Does the Day of Week Matter for Bottle Service?
The day of the week will factor into the table pricing. During the week, it's less busy with less demand unless there's a big convention in town; usually, the minimums will be lower on weekdays. Fridays and Saturdays are open everywhere and typically busy everywhere. Most of these clubs only have one day during the week and two weekend days to make their money. All the tables in the clubs are sold based on the supply and demand system. If there's more demand than supply, they can overcharge for the tables. On weekdays you'll typically find less demand and more supply, so pricing is negotiable.
Does the Age of the Club or Pool Matter?
The age of the club can also factor into the bottle service pricing. Typically, as clubs age, they become less popular and don't get the headlining artist. To get a deal in Las Vegas, you might want to try a club that's been open for several years. Some exceptions to this would be clubs like XS nightclub; miraculously, they have stayed on top for well over a decade.
How Much is Bottle Service at Las Vegas Nightclubs?
Las Vegas is known for its "tourist prices." Even McDonalds is about 50% higher on the Strip than in a smaller, less tourist-driven city, so, as you would expect, bottles and minimum spends are the highest prices in the world!
The nightclub bottle service costs for XS, TAO nightclub, Omnia nightclub, Marquee nightclub, Hakkasan nightclub, Ghost Bar, Chateau Nightclub, Drai's nightclub, Apex, Drai's After Hours, Foundation Room, Jewel nightclub, LAVO party brunch, On The Record and the all-in bottle service costs for the pool parties, such as Bare Pool Lounge, Daylight Beach Club, Drai's Beach Club, Encore Beach Club, Elia Beach Club, Liquid Pool Lounge, Marquee Dayclub, Moorea Beach Club, Sapphire Pool, Stadium Swim, and Palm tree can be found on the main guides pages or the actual clubs pages.
Below is an infographic showing the average minimum spend ranges for the clubs and pool parties in Las Vegas in terms of the minimum spend. The top one is the popular nightclubs. 👇
What is a Las Vegas Handshake?
When someone refers to the "shake," that means they tip on top of your table minimum and the tip, tax, and venue fee you will be paying. (The "shake" or "handshake" to the podium goes into the host's tip pool). In many instances, there is an opportunity to get lower-than-posted pricing with a "handshake" in Las Vegas; Sometimes, a podium tip is required for a particular table or even to get a location on certain nights.
There are some higher tiers when special guest artists are in town, or it's a holiday or fight weekend, and there might be some nights where there are even lower tiers than what's listed above.
Drink Prices vs. Bottle Prices
There are approximately 1.5 ounces of alcohol in each drink.
Let's do the math:
| In a 750 ML bottle, there are 25.4 ounces or about 17 drinks. In Vegas terms, 17 drinks x $20 = $340 |
| In a 1 Liter bottle, there are 33.81 ounces or about 22 drinks. In Vegas terms, 22 drinks X $20 = $440 |
| For the most part, you will end up spending some money on tips and potentially on a cover charge or a ticket. If you're going to drink 17 to 22 drinks per your group, pay tips and a cover or ticket, then you won't have to pay that much more to get bottle service. A good example is four guys each pay $50 to get in (standard guy cover or ticket price), drink five drinks each ($100), plus tips $20 about $480 plus 4 tickets x $50 each = $680. |
| The average cost for one bottle at most places is between $600 and $995 and you get the benefit of VIP entry, a place to congregate all night, and a much better Vegas nightlife experience. So, based on the above, we highly recommend you get some bottle service with us. |
How many Bottles do I get?
Taking the above example on bottles, let's say you have a minimum of $2,500. Based on the pricing of XS on a regular night at $798 per bottle of Grey Goose, you will get $2500 / $795 = 3 bottles with $115 left for beers, shots, Red Bulls, and water.
Bottle Service Packages and Deals
We have several package deals at a number of the "deal clubs." When we refer to a deal or a package, generally, you're paying less than retail for a good table and a couple of bottles. A good example would be two bottles of Grey Goose at Ghost Bar would typically cost about $1400 retail with all tips and taxes included. But with one of our Surreal package deals, we can get you two bottles of Grey Goose, the same great table, and your all-in price (includes tip and tax) will be $1000. That's a savings of $400!
We also have some fantastic packages that include limos, all-you-can-eat-and-drink dinners, gentlemen's clubs for the guys, or male strip clubs for the ladies. With our years of experience and hundreds of connections, we can offer amazing deals. This allows us to pass the savings on to you, so no matter what your budget is, you can get a great per person price!

Bottle Service Presentations
Las Vegas is known for its over-the-top bottle service presentations. At some clubs, you'll find bigger spenders dropping insane amounts of money, and the clubs will go above and beyond to attract attention to their tables. We have seen fire trucks, girls inside glass boxes, boats, pirate ships, and Harleys. Once, Encore Beach had a ridiculous package of $100,000, including the actual real working Harley-Davidson from the presentation. Enjoy a recent one from the King’s table at Drai’s nightclub that I hosted. 🍾
For the "normal" people, many clubs will still do a bottle presentation for a lower minimum spend. Usually, you have to order a minimum of $2,000 at once and some champagne but depending on the venue, the artist, and the demand for the night, that price might go up or down. If you're interested in getting a presentation for your group, just let us know, and we'll do what we can to make it happen.
Checking in for VIP Service Reservation
What is Proper Identification?
Please read this section if you're from out of the country because we have encountered this issue several times. The majority of nightclubs in Las Vegas will not accept an international driver's license, so you must bring your passport to get in. There have been countless times when we've arrived at the club and tried to walk in the group only to find one or more of the guys did not have their passports and the proper out-of-country ID. The club will turn you away, and you will have to go back to your hotel room to get your passport. This can be a negative start to your day or night!
You must be 21 or over to get into any club in Las Vegas, so if you lose your ID, they will not take a picture from your phone as a form of identification. The good thing is that you are probably reading this before you come to Vegas, so be sure to bring an extra form of ID just in case something happens to your primary ID. One note for people turning 21, it's at the discretion of each club whether they will let you in before midnight on your 21st birthday. I think it boils down to the mood of the security guard who checks your ID.
Las Vegas Security
Around 2014, all clubs in Las Vegas started implementing stricter security at the front door. Back in the day, you could get into a nightclub without being searched, but those days are long gone! Some clubs even have a full-on TSA-style metal detector at the front door. You can count on every club making you empty your pockets and doing some sort of metal detection scan with a wand or walkthrough unit.
If you have any of the following items, you'll be asked to throw them away or leave to put them back in your room. Do not bring vapes (casinos are Federal Law, and weed is Illegal), selfie sticks and GoPros, outside food and beverage, no personal floats (pools and night swims), anything that can resemble a prescription pill - if you have to have them, bring your prescription with you, usually, they take away your gum. (Mainly pools), common sense indicates that narcotics are not allowed and will result in an immediate ban from the property. Think TSA, but stricter!
Time of arrival to the Pool or Club
This is extremely important to us. We run a tight ship with many customers to take care of every night. We are adamant about being on time and delivering on our promises. One thing we do not like to do is be late, and we would ask the same on your end. If you agree to an 11 PM walk-in, please arrive by 10:45 PM.
Several factors might cause a delay. Vegas gets hectic, especially on weekends, and there's a lot of traffic, making getting around town challenging. Some of the hotel casinos are massive, and it might take at least 15 minutes to walk from one end to the other. Then you must allow for the possibility of getting lost, so please give yourself extra time to navigate through the hotels and the city to ensure you are on time. As a final note, if you think arriving on time might be an issue for you or your group, consider reserving a limo with us. We will make sure the limo is there on time to get you to the club on time. Honestly, it's one of the best ways to travel – it's convenient, classy, and a lot of fun!
Meeting with your Surreal VIP host
Depending on the Club, we will more than likely meet you at the VIP ropes at or near the entrance of the club. However, some casinos are extremely busy, and the front of the club might be overly crowded, so on a case-by-case basis, we may pick another destination inside the casino to meet. It's always a good idea to give somebody else in your group your VIP host's phone number just in case a phone goes dead or gets left behind; that way, we don’t lose communication, and we are still able to meet at the designated spot at the appointed time.
Club Queue Arrangement
Most of the front door setups in Sin City include a ticket line, a guest list line, and a table VIP entry line. You won't have to worry about this when you work with us; we will walk you through the VIP area.
Intoxication, Over Served, or Drunk!
We run into this on occasion where somebody is at the pool all day, keeps partying into the evening, and is not in good condition to go into the nightclub. We use "police terminology” for over-served people in Las Vegas; it's called a 408. If it looks like you have had too much to drink when you walk up, you will potentially be considered a 408. But if it’s obvious that you have had too much to drink, you will immediately be 86'ed, which means you are not getting in under any circumstances, and you will be banned from the property.
Table Guarantees and a Club's Supply and Demand System
Although it doesn't happen often, it could potentially happen on a holiday or fight weekend. There may be a case when the club is overbooked, or an enormous amount of late high-dollar reservations come in; this causes some tables to get bumped. Fortunately, we have booked a great deal of bottle service over the last seven years in Vegas, and it has only happened to us on a couple of occasions, so it's not something of concern. We know the club's systems inside and out and rarely, if ever, underestimate what we can deliver. Rest assured; we will make sure you get what we promise. Please check out our hundreds of five-star reviews. Nowadays, it's very easy to look at Yelp, Google, or Facebook and check reviews.
Clubbing without a Reserved Section
The majority of clubs in town are built for table service customers. When you look through some of our Ultimate Guides, you will see that most of the layouts are designed to put the DJ in the center and give table service customers the best sections. The management is known to let these parties get packed on busy nights, and most nights, it's challenging to move around in the walkways of the club. The best way to ensure you and your guests have a fantastic Vegas nightclub experience would be to purchase a table with a minimum spend.
What about Wait Times?
This is something you would need to be concerned about if you don’t book bottle service with us. We have built excellent relationships with every venue in Las Vegas and can expedite entry for all our customers. May the force be with you on a big night if you're on the Las Vegas guest list, or haven't purchased club tickets, or the Las Vegas Party Pass.
How Many People Are Allowed in My Group?
The first question is, how many people are allowed at my table? It depends on how many people can comfortably fit without bothering the group next to you. We've seen situations where a table is supposed to be a maximum of 10 people, but somehow, an entire fraternity caught wind of the table, and now there are 40 dudes at a table meant for 10! In a situation like this, Security will intervene, and you will have to disperse the group. But there's no fixed number on how many people can be at your table inside the venue. If you want to load up your area with women, or vice versa, so be it.
One thing to remember is that the club is making money when you buy more bottles – more people equal more bottles.
If you have 11 people for a 10-person table, you will likely have to up your minimum a bit to get the extra person to the table. Certain cabanas and areas of the clubs may require a wristband, so if you're a group of guys, typically, you'll get a limited number of wristbands. The second question, how many people are allowed in with your table? The pools are much stricter on this, and if it says ten people for that minimum spend, you'll get ten entries.
At the nightclubs, for the most part, they're a little less strict, and you might be able to squeeze in 11 or 12. The only exceptions to this might be a big night like Calvin Harris or Lil Wayne. They will tighten up the door and only allow 10 in for a table. Ladies, you're in luck; typically, they are a little looser about letting women in.
How do I Get My Guests in if They Arrive Late?
Usually, this is a pretty straightforward process. Your guest(s) can walk up to the ropes and mention the name the table is under and the table number, and they get right in. Some exceptions could be if the club is at capacity and cannot allow anyone else in via the Fire Marshal's rules and regulations or if you are way over your limit on the number of people at your table.
How to Find Girls or Guys for Your Table?
If you're a group of guys, typically a bachelor party, then perhaps you are struggling to find women for your table. We have an entire section dedicated to “Las Vegas Girls,” a group that is commonly known in Las Vegas as "sausage fest." One of the many things we are known for is our connection to women from all over the globe. From our days in Chicago to Las Vegas, we have built an incredible network of bottle service customers and females who like hanging out with our Bottle Service customers. We will invite some ‘talent’ to the tables at our customer’s request. Some guys like to "hunt" for their own, but if the hunt for your own or the ones we have in town isn't cutting it, we can try the Las Vegas promoter girl-guy system.
Most major clubs in Las Vegas have a promoter-driven top table for attractive females. To sum it up, they bring in the best-looking ladies from the guest list to a table and let them drink for free until the girl-guy places them at a bottle service Table. The girl-guy can be an excellent person to know, and we have connections to every girl-guy. Usually, they can deliver some hand-picked ladies to your table for a small tip. If the ladies from the promoter table are still at the table by the time they sell it, they are circulated into the Club. Let us know if you'd like to connect with the girl guy on the night of your reservation. Ladies, it’s not that we forgot about you, but it’s rare when we run into situations where you can’t find guys.
We also have large roster of atmosphere models. Our booking service is a pay to play service to get model-quality females to join you and your crew for the day or evening. Cost for these hotties is usually $100 per hour for a 4-hour minimum. The models are sexy, sociable, and experienced in all situations, so consider some fine females for your party. If the guys want Las Vegas Strippers or a Las Vegas Escort we can set up either of those as well.
Las Vegas Credit Card Issues
Most of the venues will accept up to three credit cards for payment on your tab. Our biggest issue is that one of the credit cards has a fraud protection block on it. Pro-tip: call your credit card company before heading to Vegas and let them know you plan to spend more than usual. It's annoying and time-consuming having to call your bank in the middle of the night in a loud club with everybody waiting at your table for the alcohol to show up. Unfortunately, this happens all too often, so we recommend bringing cash. Another option is to wire us the money in advance and let us handle the credit card transactions with our cards that go through with no problem. Prepaying is a convenient VIP service extra; that way when you walk into your experience, everything has already been arranged.
Booking with a Deposit to Hold Your Table
Every club and management group has a different system, which can change by the year or the weekend. For all tables booked with us, we require a deposit to hold your spot. We run a large operation, and without some skin in the game, customers tend to be unreliable. We run an extremely tight ship and deliver on all our promises, and we expect our customers to do the same. We value our working relationships with our customers and exceed their expectations. We want to make sure your Vegas vacation goes according to plan.
We offer a convenient service if you like to prepay in full. If it's a substantial dollar amount, we will only accept a wire or cash when you arrive. Important Tip: If you put a deposit or full payment down via one of our links, then you will need to have the physical credit card and your matching ID present at the club to be verified by the waitress. If you don’t have the card that you placed the deposit with present, then they waitress will have to refund the deposit or full payment and you will have to use a card an ID that you have with you for the payment.
Advantages of prepaying include:
- 1) Having your table and bottles ready when you arrive.
- 2) Your weekend is mapped out and paid for, so if any of the people in your group end up being irresponsible with their money in a casino or at a gentlemen's club, you don't have to worry about them messing up your party plans.
- 3) We use our credit cards to buy your table, so you have zero issues with credit card fraud blocks.
- 4) If you happen to run late, your table is secure because we already paid for it. As it gets later in the evening, these clubs tend to operate on a first-come/first-serve basis.
What Happens at the Table?
Depending on the club, you will sign a receipt saying you've agreed to the minimum spend in the queue or at the table. As I mentioned, you will have to pay in full for the minimum spend plus the tip, venue fee, and taxes when you arrive at the table before they serve any alcohol.
The model cocktail service makes you sign your credit card receipt before they even open a bottle. If you are paying cash, she will bring it right out and serve your party. The cocktail servers do their best to make the entire process quick and efficient; however, on busy nights, they can get a bit backed up with multiple tables. One way to avoid delays is to arrive early before the 11:30 PM to midnight rush. Consider a prepaid option, so all you have to do is show up and have a good time.
What if I Don't Spend My Minimum?
The way it works in Las Vegas is you prepay your minimum before they serve you any alcohol. So, if you did not purchase enough alcohol to spend your entire minimum, it just goes to waste. There are no exceptions; you pay for the minimum you agreed to pay whether you order it or not.
Budget Bottle Service
We have a handful of clubs with inexpensive table service and package deals. Some are so reasonable you might not remember you're in Vegas when you get the bill. Our advice is to reach out to us, let us know your budget, and our experts will create a perfect package deal for you. We have a section on deal clubs if you want to check that out.
What is the Las Vegas Club Dress Code?
In Las Vegas, there is a standard dress code to get into the nightclubs and the pools. The pools are pretty simple; you must wear swim attire, no exceptions. Guys, that means no jeans, no cargo pants, no athletic gear, and no khaki shorts – swim shorts with t-shirts and tank tops only (no jerseys). For shoes, you can get away with flip-flops, sandals, or stylish gym shoes. Ladies, please wear a cover-up over your bikinis and swimsuits so you can go in and out of the dayclub with class; plus, it’s mandatory!
For the nightclubs, it’s upscale attire. Guys, that includes a collared shirt, fashionable jeans or dress pants, and quality dress shoes. Athletic gear, jerseys, ripped or ragged gear, gym shoes, or Timberlands are not allowed. One exception, if you really want to wear your Jordans to Drai's will allow them now!
For our beautiful women, dress to impress. No athletic gear, and please keep your shoes on. Not only is it not a classy look to go barefoot, it’s unhealthy, a liability, and it’s not allowed. Bare feet will get you kicked out of the club. Consider another pair of shoes if you can’t handle being in heels all night.
