^I don't see a big deal about that at all. Lots of places in NYC charge $10 for a bud light...so that sounds about right for Vegas. Heinekens are also $10...so it just seems like they charge $10 across the board for all bottled beers...which also makes sense because they probably don't sell a lot of beers and are just like it, "fuck it, $10 for them all."

The liquor prices actually surprise me the most. Patron is $9/10 in small cities like Wilmington and Charleston...I would think they would charge more than $12 in Vegas. Also maybe a little more for Goose, but I guess $14 makes sense.

I'm not a champagne guy, so i won't comment on Vueve, but I wouldn't judge quality of alcohol on the size of the bottle given that wine, beer, and liquor are produced in containers much larger than any bottle.

What a waste of money/life.

5/13/2011 10:48:00 AM

seriously, who cares?

5/13/2011 11:07:43 AM

Because following every minute detail of rich and famous people's lives is America's new national pastime

While that is an extraordinarily high tab or whatever, there is a definite cultural difference even on a lower scale.

Do you guys prefer to buy your own beverages? Or do you buy rounds of shots and stuff, like WOO HOO LET'S PARTY!!!

I think it might a regional thing. I'm in category 1. What about y'all?

5/13/2011 11:17:57 AM

it's not like it's your money these people are wasting, so who cares?

5/13/2011 11:18:42 AM

^thats my thinking

^^it depends really on the situation, why i'm out, if i got paid ( ) etc etc.....
usually i'm in 1, but every so often i pick up a round for the table

5/13/2011 11:20:33 AM

Its a lot more fun to switch off ordering rounds for the whole table as opposed to ordering individually so you can nurse your Michelob Ultra

5/13/2011 11:24:49 AM

I like to order my own beverage

but prefer not to pay for it

5/13/2011 11:24:50 AM

lol

My brother-in-law got talked into doing bottle service last time he was in Vegas. First night in Vegas and he had already blown his budget


I've only ever paid for mixed drinks at a bar in Vegas, never bottled beer. The one thing about bars in Vegas (at least the bars inside the casinos) is that they don't post the price of their drinks. I ordered two drinks (one for my husband and one for me) last time I was in Vegas (I believe at Red Rock Casino). One Bloody Mary was $22 and one Rum and Coke was $14. So $36 plus tax plus tip.

Luckily I had just won big and we were celebrating. And that was the most delicious Bloody Mary I have ever had.

Posting a big menu of prices doesn't fit the utopian theme most of these places are trying to convey

I usually just order the drink and assume I'm going to get gouged for it

Not about to repeatedly yell "HOW MUCH FOR A FAT TIRE" over a blaring Tiesto soundtrack

5/13/2011 11:38:30 AM

some of the best times ive had in vegas were walking around with a water bottle full of scotch and just people watching. its never been worth it to actually order a drink from anywhere (except all you can drink bloodies and mimosas at the buffet)

also, from page 1

AHA, I'm not talking about taking turns on buying pitchers or something.

I'm talking about the people who buy, like, ridiculous shots and jager bombs and stuff where you can't really reciprocate cause of the price, and plus, you wouldn't buy a jager bomb at 2 AM in the first place.

my question is... who pays for booze in vegas when you can get served top shelf at the tables for free?

6/20/2011 11:42:59 AM

they don't serve free drinks at the clubs

6/20/2011 11:45:03 AM

I drink my fair share at the tables, but you can get the best martinis and manhattans at the bars/restaurants in Vegas. they're not going to bring you a manhattan with 7 ounces of top shelf liquor in it to a table.

Hahahahah what a great "fuck you" to patron


Also, the prices at these clubs are designed to be prohibitively exclusive. Wouldn't want a bunch of middle class muddying up your classy joint

6/20/2011 2:42:39 PM

$20,000 hotel bill.


The crazy story behind it:

I had a bar tab of around $475 once that was mostly just me but thats about the best I can do.

9/15/2011 11:16:03 AM

People knock the ordering of 15L bottles of wine... but if I could order a "Nebuchadnezzar of Moet" I would definitely feel like a baller.

9/15/2011 12:37:46 PM

not really in Vegas, but these Russians rolled out of the club on a yacht without paying a $120k tab
