The holiday weekends in Vegas
are treated very differently by most of the nightclubs.
The lines are longer, the ablilty to get in is harder, the cover charges to get in are usually increased. The staff is more stressed out.
I have a few suggestions...
If you are going to try and get into the most popular clubs, try and make arrangements before hand with some kind of service to get in and by pass or have a short wait in line[ all guys, holiday weekend, almost no chance unless you make arrangements beforehand]. As far as what are the most popular clubs...
Pure [largest venue, inside\outside areas, pussycat doll lounge, rated as one of the top five clubs in the world, gets packed, downstairs hip hop, outside house, hard to get a drink after midnight]
Tao [hip hop, weird floorplan, not to bad getting a drink]
Jet [three rooms, different music, great floorplan, not to bad getting drinks]
Moon\Playboy [the Playboy club is small, Moon is ok floorplan, not too bad getting a drink]
Wynn [large open floorplan, hard to get a drink after midnight]
Body English [small, packed]
Light [same people who run jet run light, light is a mini me version of jet.
All of these are going to be packed wall to wall all night. Luxor is opneing a new club LAX that weekend, fwiw.
There are opportunities at Wynn, Hardrock and Jet [near the club entrances] to meet, befriend [offer to buy drinks] and tag along with a group of ladies to get in and get in quickly.
Another option, Tabu Ultra Lounge at the MGM [you wil get in].
The Hardrock and the Palms have great bars that are in the middle of all the floor action. Great places to again meet a group of gals [have I made my point].
Table Service? What is your goal for the evening. If you want people to think you have deep pockets, get table service.
If you are old and need to sit down, get table service.
If you were a group of couples [wives, girlfriends] get table service.
Otherwise, DO NOT GET TABLE SERVICE. $30-$60 bottle of Grey Goose for $450 [two bottle minimum] plus tip and not counting other drinks. There are much better things to spend your money on and other ways to get access into the club. jmo
There are "other" things and places to go in Vegas, it depends on what you want to accomplish. I have kept my comments to "just" the clubs.

P.S. The Vegas clubs are very good, but there is NOTHING in this world like partying at the top Vegas pools [what hotel are you staying at?]. That is where table service\booths start making sense money wise. Oh my god the women, the women, the women!
