So you've decided to head to Vegas for a 3 to 4 day bender of hell-bent furry?
We like your style...
Discovering NIGHTLIFELEADER.COM was your first step in the right direction. If you’re looking to get the most out of your party experience, we’ve got you covered.
Here are the ABT's of nightclub etiquette:
ATTIRE:
Showing up to a high-end nightclub in a T-shirt is a recipe for disaster.
First and foremost, it doesn’t matter how
perfectly we’ve joined your hand with the
professionals in the industry, if you show up
dressed improperly, no one will give you the
time of day.
When choosing the right attire for your
nightlife or pool party experience, keep in
mind that the venues you are visiting are the
top party destinations on the planet.
The most important element to any nightlife
destination is the crowd. Nightclubs strive to
have an eclectic mix of people. Varying
styles, status and culture is the recipe for a
successful party. Dress the part!
This does NOT mean arriving in your
finest example of the worst $200 T-Shirt
investment, EVER.
Go for a look that is cool, sexy and sophisticated
What should men wear?:
- a classy, collared, button-down shirt
- a nice pair of pants (nice jeans are acceptable, but not baggy)
- Dress shoes
- Sport coat or even suit is a good look (save the tie for those that are working)
- Fashionable hats are ok.
- No Sports attire! (no ball hats, jerseys, sneakers, etc)
Keep in mind that you are being evaluated by
the Door staff from a distance of about 15ft
while you approach the club. The FIRST
thing they look at is your appearance. Don't
give them a reason to shut you down right
away.
Women typically have it easy when it comes to getting into the club. Why?
- Clubs want as close to a 50/50 ratio of men/women as possible
- Women know the importance of dressing well when stepping out
- Women tend to dance more, hence instantly increase the energy of a room.
Ladies: ask about any special drink promotions that may offered by the club
That being said, ladies I recommend:
- Comfortable footwear (keep it sexy, but don’t be the girl that walks out barefoot at the end of the night with shoes in hand)
- If you’ve got it, flaunt it. (Within reason)
Ladies: ask about any special drink promotions that may offered by the club
Bottom line, dress sexy and sophisticated, age appropriate and body type appropriate. Make sure your entire group is on the same page. One poorly dressed person can prevent you from walking in quickly.
BEATING THE LINE:
The lines outside any true hotspot can be simply intimidating, but they don’t have to be an obstacle preventing a great night.
Its always best to arrive earlier than later
Keep your group together
If you’re working with a host or promoter, know their name
Always be respectful to the nightclub staff members
Assess your group. (If you’ve read this far, you should be dressed properly.) As we mentioned earlier, clubs look for a nice even ratio of guys/girls. Guys, it is in your best interest to pair up with a group of ladies as you arrive, unless you have Bottle Service.
Get your bearings on what line to approach. Almost every club will have separate lines for General Admission (G.A.), Guest List (VIP), or Table Service. Don’t be frightened by a bouncer asking you whether “you are on the list or have table service,” they are just trying to move you in the right direction and will ultimately save you a lot of time. Besides, you are using NIGHTLIFELEADER.com…you ARE on the list!
Don’t show up drunk. Know the difference between drinking at a high end establishment and drinking at a frat party.
Always be friendly with the Door Staff, they are literally your ticket in. Never, I repeat, NEVER act cocky and arrogant to the Doorman. Saying, “Hey man, I don’t wait in lines” or “Don’t you know who I am?” will only get you to the very back of the line, if you’re lucky.
TIPPING:
TIP- An acronym for "To Insure Promptness", it was originally given in advance.
Nightclub employees rely heavily on gratuity for their income. If you’re looking to gain entry without hesitation, or secure a more premium table location, it pays to know how to "take care of someone."
Is this always necessary? Of course not, but it IS a gesture of good faith that can separate you from the masses in an instant.
Even the Guest List line can get pretty long on a busy weekend.
Collecting something from the group and passing it discretely to the Doorman is worth your time in most cases. $10-$20 per head will get you past the lines without question.
Want a table in the center of the action?
Many times premium tables call for premium bottle minimums. If you notice a location you’d find more desirable than the table you’re given, offer first to take care of the host that seated you. Often times he can arrange better locations instead of forcing you to buy more bottles. $100-$500 depending on how close you want to be to the Dance floor.
Tipping is an art form that, if done properly, will earn you instant respect.
Applying this knowledge of nightclub etiquette will open the door to a better experience overall and result in a lasting relationship with the people you choose to work with.
