Open Bar Las Vegas
You have likely landed on this page because you are looking for an open bar in Las Vegas. You love free Las Vegas drinking, and you heard that cocktails could be as high as $25 each at some of the Las Vegas nightclubs.
Vegas Pool Parties are even higher at places like Encore Beach Club and . Nobody likes the feeling of "being taken to the cleaners."
The good news is my company, Surreal Nightlife, has several Las Vegas guest list and dining options that have an open bar, some paid, and some are FREE.
In my Ultimate Guide to Las Vegas Open Bar, I will go over all the details you need to know to get your drink on in Sin City.
Free Open Bar Options
Ladies, this is for you! Guys, you are out of luck with free drinks at TAO. The Tao Group operates Tao Nightclub and Marquee Nightclub, and they get the game when it comes to getting men to spend money on bottle service. After throwing parties for the last 25 years of my life, the customers will spend money if you throw a good party.
Throwing a good party is similar to a math equation. The venue has to add up all the components to equal a sum. Those components include good music, alcohol, quality security, and a crowd. In that crowd, you need Vegas girls. Without women, guys will not spend money on drinks and bottles.
Here is where the free open bar comes into play. Management at TAO and Marquee lure the ladies in by offering an open bar for a set time early in the evening. Typically, the open bar is from 11:30 PM -12:30 AM and includes well drinks and some bubbly. On some nights, the comp drinks might be house champagne only. Sometimes, the clubs give away a free bottle. These are called girl comps. I have an entire page dedicated to getting comped bottle service.
Paid Vegas Open Bar Options
A paid or open bar option is much more cost-effective than a consumption bar (buying drinks individually). A per person or package price is less expensive than buying drinks individually. You will not get as many drinks, the drinks cost more, and a tip is involved with each purchase. With a paid open bar, there are no surprises; you know the price in advance, and you get more drinks. Our bachelor and bachelorette parties usually opt for the paid open bar because, with a celebration like this, they plan to do a lot of drinking!
Treasure Island
If you ever went to Cancun in college, then you have heard of drug brunch. This legendary hotspot has been around for decades, and after so many years, they know how to throw a good party. Our open bar option includes seating and, if requested, will include seating on the giant patio overlooking the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. Drug Show offers good food, good times, dancing, drinking, and a DJ spinning Latin Club music – a winning combination for a special occasion or a bachelor/bachelorette party.
