We aren't into the whole club experience, waiting hours to get in, paying $10+ for a drink, and wall to wall crowds. But this deal said we had no wait and free cover and a open bar party bus so we though we would try it. \n\nThe first bar we went to was Carlos, N Charlie's at the flamingo. We got there at 9pm and the place was dead. It was a Tuesday night though. We got bogo margaritas. They charged $11 for a single margarita. Our tour guide also told us we would get a free shot as well. It's hard to call it a shot, there was more sugar in it than alcohol. But free is free. I expected we would go to the party bus so I could take advantage of the open bar, but the next place we went to was Drais nightclub at the Cromwell, right next door so we walked there. We had to wait about 5-10 min but again there was no crowds. I'm guessing because that place just opened. A beer there was $9-10 and a mixed drink $12-15. We only ordered one drink and waited for the next bar. The place was very nice, your outside by the pool and can look into the inside club area. Finally we got to go on the party bus. As our next destination was in Mandalay bay. They used cheap vodka and and miller lite. I just chugged as much beer as I could to make up for the drinking that I didn't do at the other bars. Arriving at manday bay, at the foundation room, this place was just as expensive. I remember one tab coming out to be over $100 but I also bought shots for some new friends we made. It's on the 50th fl or somewhere up there. There is a balcony with a nice view of the strip. Finally from there we went back on the bus. At this point all the beer was gone so I had to drink the bottom well vodka and cranberry juice. Which tasted awful. At this point our group of about 20-25 were pretty buzzed/drunk so people were dancing on the poles and it was very entertaining. We arrived at our last location ghost bar in the palms. Another bar with a great view and expensive drinks. I don't remember anything from this place but it is pretty small. They have a balcony with plexiglass floor that looks straight down to the street. Kinda spooky at first since your 55 floors up. You are allowed to stay till close if you like. The bus does not take you back. You are on your own once you get to the last stop. \n\nI've read reviews that the tour guides were fun ours was just ok. She didn't drink and when I asked her why not she said she didn't feel like it that night. I thought she would be more engaging with the group. But all she did was send out texts to let us know the bus was leaving in X minutes. \n\nOverall it was still a good night and we got to go to some new clubs that we would have never gone in and waited or paid their outrageous cover charge. The people we met and made friends with was probably the best part of the night."^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . "3"^^ .
