Bottle Service

I wanted to share this experience I recently had. I thought you would fid this interesting, since I am not the typical partier and of course I am not in my twenties. Its something that has become or is a fad at the moment, young people are doing it coast to coast and the ones making out like bandits are the Clubs…charging up in excesses of $15,000 dollars for a bottle. Of course they offer us little folks a cheaper deal…and not a bad one for that matter…somewhere in the $450 price range, depending in the Club you go.

Well in this case, I wanted to share my experience at Jet Night Club in Las Vegas…yah Vegas baby. Ok so I decided to head to Vegas and well of course I made sure to make reservations at one of the more prominent Clubs in Vegas – Jet Night Club. Well, depending on the bottle, whether it is Vodka or Cognac or whisky, there are prices. Let me give you an example…a Sky Vodka bottle will run you $450 bucks, a Hennessey Bottle will run you $550, the most expensive bottle they have of Cognac will run you $15,000…so depending on your wallet you can see the estimated cost. Now keep in mind that these bottle services come with all the bells and whistles, and what I mean is, you get a personal waitress/waiter to attend to your ever need, you get you mixers, such as mineral water, pine-apple juice, cranberry juice etc. once again depending on your bottle. So it is costly, but if you do it at least once in your life it is a very cool experience.

Now, I have a few suggestions that you should keep in mind while at the Club and receiving the bottle service. These things will help make certain you get the full enjoyment and of course make sure you get your money’s worth. The reason I say this is quite simple, they make money with the bottles, if your bottle goes empty anytime during the evening, even if it is early in the evening they will ask you to purchase another bottle or leave the table…hence…another potential bottle service…meaning more money. So in actual…you are paying not for the table, but for the bottle and the service and once the bottle runs out they don’t need to service you…meaning waitress standing around…not good for the Club to see their employees standing around…they need to keep serving and serving.

Which brings me to my first suggestion: Make sure that you “SIP” your drinks, the club opens at 10:30pm and closes at 4:00am…seems like a lot of time, well if you are downing your drinks the time will go y very fast meaning if you finish the bottle early you either buy another bottle or leave the seat…keep in mind you don’t get kicked out of the club you simply mingle with the rest of the non-VIP crowd that is standing around…not necessarily a bad thing but you get my drift. So “SIP” your drinks, because when you finish them the waitress will immediately prepare you another drink, so one after another could shorten the night and finish the bottle faster. If you finish a drink, don’t feel bad in telling the waitress to not prepare you another drink, simply gesture with your hand kindly to “Stop” or gesture with your hands by pinching you fingers together as to indicate in a minute…the waitress may or may not get a little…what’s the word…a little nippy….angry…upset…but hell your paying $450 or more…so you have the right to dictate how you drink or pass the night…make sure you do it or else you could find yourself mixed in the non-VIP crowd or purchasing another bottle.

My second suggestion is: make sure you d a lot of dancing, so as to not get drunk/wasted to early on, also if you are dancing…more than likely you are not drinking, heck you don’t want to spill that drink…it is expensive. So keep moving to the music it will make the night go longer and of course any activities after words will actually be remembered…LOL.

The last thing is probably directed to the older crowd, meaning those of us over 30 years…maybe 35. Now, I am not labeling and I am sure there are individuals in this age group that can hold their liquor and party like they were twenty, but like most of us that have busy lives and are no longer accustomed to the late night parting and drinking extravagances, well this is a suggestion from me to you – only. Since we are not accustom to the heavy liquor, I assume this, it’s best not to have less than 4 people in your group/party when ordering bottle services…because simply put…the bottle is a bit too much for two people…whether it is two guys or a couple and especially a couple. In my experience and only saying this in my case and the rest of my party…Vodka will sneak up on you and will hurt the next day. So if you want to enjoy the evening and the next day festivities, if you are in Vegas, then make sure you have 4 or more people in your party, once again depending on the requirements for the club, to drink up the liquor. I think 6 is the limit for a bottle at Jet Night Club…I believe, but for sure 4 in a party for a bottle service. Now, if you have light drinkers in your group and is 4 only, please refer to my “First Suggestion” above…drink slow.

The reason I say this is, if you are not accustom to drinking hard liquor and are in Vegas, there is a good chance you will end up sleeping in A LOT the next morning, and if you have plans they could be ruined or you will not enjoy them as much as you would have, have you been sober or without a headache or other uncomfortable bodily functions.

I do have to say, if you can do a bottle service, do it, it is well worth it and if you do it in Vegas, for some crazy reason the people around you not in the VIP are pretty friendly if you mingle with them…heck probably everyone in Vegas is friendly…since what happens in Vegas…well you know…stays in Vegas. Now for my final thought on this, I have to Say that Jet Night Club attends to you, well to those with Bottle service extremely well, they do take care of you and make sure your evening is right, but remember don’t let them rush you on that bottle, other than that…it was an exceptional evening.

My Perspective:

As you get older, for many of us that begin a family, have children and a busy life it becomes a bit more difficult to party the night away or try and hold our own against them younger generation…I said for many of us, not everyone. But this should not stop anyone –especially us older generation from trying a new experience at least once, but if I was giving the suggestion that I mentioned above I think my evening would have been a bit longer and my next morning a lot less uncomfortable…not too mention loosing out on a show…heck…but I did wins some money. So, thanks for reading, keep safe, and remember you are never – ever too old to try something new. That’s the fabric of life…experiencing things…because not only do you grow as a person, guess what, if you have children you get to share those experiences with them and hopefully provide some great suggestions so they enjoy themselves when the time comes – of course.

Till next time Latino Man signing off – Party like a Rock Star.
