| - I'm a Vegas veteran, probably have been there over 100+ times from having easy access from SoCal. Nightlife in LA is pretty lame and Vegas is always a good time. As a result of going so much, I try to "maximize" my costs, time and opportunities for...uhh.....well you can figure it out.
First off, going on one of these tours is pretty fun. You DO start a little early in the night, drink 2:1 drinks at some bar/ultralounge whatever. Its a good time to get your night going. Then go to a few different clubs, usually in the 2nd-3rd tier of Vegas nightlife (which honestly isn't a bad thing when you consider how the 1st tier places are mostly about people showing off and being seen).
Compared to Bottle Service, this is a ton cheaper. If you're in a smaller group, bottles don't make much sense, its only good if you're in a big group of people and want a place to sit. Its always a good time, but you'll usually drop a few hundred per person (and girls try to scam you out of drinks!).
Compared to buying pre-sale tickets..its a wash. The big thing is that pre-sale you can probably go see A-list DJs. The thing is when you're there for the big DJs, you kind of get distracted from all the pretty ladies, who are also into the DJs more than doing the "vegas thing". On these tours, you've already in a bus full of pretty ladies so we've really liked that aspect of things.
So on a typical vegas weekend, I'll do some pre-sale tickets one night, a club crawl another night.
Anyway, I have been on Nite Tours 3 times. Twice on Sunday nights and once on Saturday night (this past weekend in fact). I've found that they keep the ratios of girls/guys on each bus pretty even and as long as you are social and not creepy, you should do well for yourself. I've done a few other tours, which were walking tours which were ok, but the party bus is a really good time. I hear people complain about getting beer, cheap champagne and whatever else...but honestly, by the time you get on the bus, you should have loaded yourself up on 2:1 drinks and so that it all tastes the same by that time anyways.
Our tour guide last weekend was Misty. A pretty young thang who was super cool. She was pretty organized getting everyone to meet up on time and was cracking good jokes and chillin out. She'd get the party going on the party bus, I don't think we had any of the Debbie Downer types (you know how those are) and she probably played a good part in that. We hit up Chateau, which is not bad....patio outside, club inside...stayed there for a bit. Then party bus to the Bank, which I didn't really like layout wise and it was a bit wack of a crowd there and too crowded..first time there though. party bus, ended up at Light where we actually got to see Dmitri Vegas and Like Mike in one of the two hot new clubs that had recently opened (along with Hakkasan)..this was on a Saturday night with the opening of the Michael Jackson Cirque show, so I was pretty impressed they were able to get us all in for a top rated international DJ duo.
So in summary, do it if you want to save some cash (I only spend like $60 in drinks all night and I was feeling pretty good). If you want to complain or think stripper poles on party busses and free Coors Light is icky...well, you probably should have stayed home. oh yeah, look for discount codes..they're around and help the costs down even more.
