I wish I could give this review two sets of stars, one for the entertainment and floor staff and one for the management, but since I can't, I'll give the overall experience two stars. In my personal opinion this was a great club with the opportunity for a great experience, but it was poorly executed and the VERY young management was terrible.
We passed Beacher's as we were walking through MGM Grand our first night in Vegas. Curious about the experience, we stopped and talked with Russ, a manager who was sitting outside of the door. He sold us the experience on promises of midgets delivering your bottle service by flying across the club on a zip-line. Who doesn't want to see that, right?!?
We reserved a VIP table, understanding that there was a $500 minimum for the bottle service and the VIP table. Yes, it's pricy, and it should have come with some appropriate VIP treatment, but it didn't.
We arrived at 11:00 PM when the doors opened, and were seated at a small table, right in front of the stage. Awesome seats!! Our wait staff, Kelly and Jason, were awesome and took great care of us, getting us what we needed and making sure we were comfortable. The music was fun and there was tons of things to see, including an entire crew of Johnny Depp look alikes, dancing Sesame Street characters and a couple of midgets. The entertainment was FANTASTIC. We enjoyed their efforts and found the variety show very entertaining and well done. However, the flying midgets that we were promised, never happened. A total let down.
Here's where the night went bad. Shortly after we were seated in our small table for 4, the management let in two VERY LARGE groups of NON-PAYING, very drunk and obnoxious young men and ladies. They seated these two parties, of approximately 100 people right next to us. There were so many people, that the VIP table and seats that we had paid for, we couldn't even use because they were taken over by the 100 NON-PAYING drunks. It was a mess. The group was such a mess that one girl decided to take a seat ON our TABLE and proceded to place her ASS in our bowl of ice. YUCK!!!
Kelly our server did the very best she could to keep the mass of people from encroaching on our table. The security guard conveniently disapeard as soon as the large group arrived. We paid a premium for a VIP table and bottle service, and were treated worse than the NON-PAYING customers. Management did NOTHING to help, and seemed to be largely unconcerned that PAYING customers were not happy. The best they could do was offer another bottle on the house, the next time we came to Vegas. Sadly, the experience was so disappointing that we won't be back.
My advise... pay the cover charge and spend a little bit of time here as a standing room customer. Your service will be fantastic and you will really enjoy the show. But, don't waste your time or money on the VIP table and bottle service. It's just not worth it, and you won't get what you pay for.
