The club economics
- Mixed cover at the door: $30–80 men, often free women on lists
- Guest list (signup by ~4 PM): free entry most nights, early arrival required
- Bottle service: $400–1,200 minimum on headliner nights
The night shape
Vegas nightlife moves later than most cities: bars prime at 10 PM, doors 10:30 PM, peak 1–2 AM. Dinner at 9 PM is the standard rhythm — plan dinner, one bar, then the club.
Before the clubs
- Downtown cocktail bars — better drinks, half the bill
- Roof bars mid-Strip — skyline views without a table minimum
- Après-ski style patios — the off-Strip locals secret
Getting home
Rideshare surge peaks 1–3 AM weekend; a $18 ride in can bill $45 out. Walk to a mid-Strip hotel lobby to reset pricing before hailing.
