Are you looking for VIP treatment or a reserved place to sit at a club, bar, or lounge in Las Vegas?
You may want to consider Vegas Bottle Service.
What is Bottle Service in Vegas
Bottle service is an all-inclusive package, providing you with a place to sit, quick entry, waived cover, security, private waitress and busser, and, of course, drinks.
Bottle service is offered in most lounges, strip clubs, and nightclubs in Las Vegas, so wherever the night takes you, excellent care will be given you.
Most bottle service or VIP reserved tables are offered by a minimum spend or a minimum number of bottles purchased.
So what is included…
What is Included with VIP Bottle Table Service Packages?
Most bottle service or reserved VIP table service includes:
- Expedited entry into the venue without any cover charges
- A table, couch, or other reserved seating areas
- Your choice of liquor
- Included mixers such as soda water, orange juice, pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and more
- Security, a personal busser, and waitress
Benefits of Bottle Service at Clubs in Vegas
- A place to sit – there is no seating at clubs that are not reserved for bottle service
- Avoid waiting in line and paying cover
- Your own real estate, a place to leave belongings, and a place to invite others back to
- Avoid fighting the long lines to get a drink at the bar
- Ability to get tables near the dance floor or the DJ or performer (It will cost you though!).
- Sometimes your own private restroom or security escort to the restroom.
Vegas Bottle Service Pricing
Bottle service is not cheap and may seem like a waste of money for some people.
While some people enjoy blowing money at the tables or on a nice dinner in Vegas others might prefer bottle service at a nightclub…to each their own.
The cost of a bottle at a Las Vegas nightclub can range from $400 to $600 for a basic one-liter bottle of Grey Goose, Jack Daniels, Patron, or other similar alcohol.
Lounges and strip clubs prices will be cheaper than nightclubs most of the time.

Table or Bottle Minimums
You will most likely get quoted either a table minimum spend like $1500 or a bottle minimum based on the size of your group.
Keep in mind that these prices do not include all the fees and taxes.
Changes in VIP Pricing
Different tables have different set prices regardless of the number of people.
Depending on the size of your group, the day of the week, the time of year, and the demand of venue, your bottle minimum and total price for the service will vary.
On holidays and weekends, clubs with charge more per bottle and require a higher bottle minimum, as well as any time the venue is hosting special events like live music or featured DJs.
The better location you request, like a dance floor table, will raise the table minimum.

Example Bottle Service Pricing and Cost
Most of the time it is a one bottle minimum for up to 3-4 people. So this means you need to buy one bottle including taxes and tips. Some places require a 2 bottle minimum regardless the amount of people.
Do not think you would just need to spend only $425 for one bottle and that is it, here is also what you need to keep in mind:
- Auto gratuity of 20% to waitress
- 8+% sales tax
- Optional tips ($20-$100 is common) to security and busser
- Optional tip to host ($50 to $100+ per bottle is common )
So lets do an example of a 2 bottle minimum at $475 a bottle:
(Bottles ($475*2)+Tax($475*2*0.08)+Waitress Tip($475*2*0.20)+Busser/Security/Host Tips($200) )= $1416
For 8 people this would be $177.
Keep in mind there might also be a Live Entertainment Tax for another 7-10%.
Is Bottle Service Worth It
Bottle service is not for everyone and you do not need it to enjoy yourself at nightclub.
It does have its perks and makes sense for different cases.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just seeking a big night out, then take the ‘go big or go home’ attitude to heart and get bottle service at the club of your choice.
It gives you the unique luxury to fully enjoy drinking, dancing, socializing, and everything else that comes with a great night out—minus the stress and hassle.
Price Comparison
Let’s first compare what it would cost for 8 guys to enter a top club without bottle service compared to with bottle service.
Without:
- 8 guys paying cover at $50 = $400
- 1 hour plus wait
- Waiting for drinks
- $12 a drink and 7 drinks per person = $672
- No place to sit
- Total cost $1072+ or $134 per person
With bottle service:
- $177 per person (as calculated above) or $43 more than without bottle service
- No cover, minimal to no wait in the line
- No waiting to get drinks and dedicated waitress
- A place to sit and talk
- Other perks like getting ladies to the table and security escort to restroom…
That is just one example to see it actually would not be too much more for bottle service.
If you are by yourself or with one or two other people it probably does not make sense though in terms of price.
Go Big or Go Home – Bottle Service Presentation $$$$
Another service you may want to consider, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion, is a special bottle presentation.
Ask your host about this when you are making your reservations for bottle service, and you can have this additional experience added to your night out.
You may have seen something like this in a club before—it can involve anything from sparklers, special drinks, and oversized bottles to visual displays, shout-outs from the DJ, special music, and even the wait staff doing something crazy to entertain you.
A special bottle presentation is often part of expensive champagne purchases, but you can always request this in advance to be added to your booking for that extra special something.
Setting Up Bottle Service
It is recommended that you reserve your table through a direct host at the club and not a 3rd party independent host.
Contact the club host about a month before your arrival and tell them how many people you have and ask what your options and prices/minimums are.
Confirm the day before and keep in contact with them if anything changes or you add/subtract people from your group.
Buy Tickets Instead!
Not willing to spend $1000 plus for bottle service. The best way to get in with no hassle is pre sale tickets. You will spend less than cover and avoid the long waits.

Overall Thoughts on Bottle Service
Bottle service is a great way to celebrate a special occasion or just to go big.
I guarantee it will be one of your favorite nights in Vegas and most likely think it is worth the cost.
For a group of guys that want to get in, hassle-free, and that will be drinking plenty, I think it is the best way to go.
Bottle Serice is a great option for Bachelor and Bachelorette parties too.
Have fun!
