Las Vegas Guest List for 2025

Vegas Guest List

The Las Vegas nightclubs and pool parties are the most sought-after entertainment activities for partygoers. However, for many, the cost for entry and VIP Bottle Service can be quite intimidating, especially for those on a strict budget. Guest Lists are one of the most cost-effective ways to enter the more exclusive and popular venues in the city, but there are several factors to consider before taking that route. In our ultimate Las Vegas Guest List Guide, we will discuss everything you need to know about being on a Vegas guest list.

How Does the Las Vegas Club Guest List Work?

Understand that even though you are on a guest list, it does not mean that you are automatically a VIP. Guest lists are used by the clubs to "fill the room."  Since most of the higher-end bottle service clients typically arrive later because they want to arrive at a nightclub or Las Vegaspool party that is already popping. To fill the room before the headliner arrives, the club allows for certain groups of people, preferably Vegas Girls to enter the club earlier for free to create a better look inside the club and provide opportunities for the VIP guests to mix and mingle with them and ultimately invite them back to their tables.

Most people who are placed on guest lists do so the weekend they arrive in town or, in most cases, on the day of the event they're trying to attend. Some of the ways you can get on a guest list are through a website like Bachelorette Vegas, or you can be referred/introduced to a Las Vegas promoter on the Strip who can offer you access. The list will either get you free entry into the club, a reduced cover, and, in some cases, for the ladies, some free drinks or an open bar. You will have a better chance with the older clubs; they have to offer incentives to get people to attend.

These lists often have rules and restrictions, including a time limit when you need to arrive to get the free entry. Some venues often cut off the list around 11 PM and then offer a reduced entry fee afterward for those on a list. A list may also be cut off entirely if the club is full. For venues like XS nightclub, on crowded nights where artists like The Chainsmokers and Marshmello are performing, they sometimes flood the guest list crowd into their outdoor patio. Once capacity is hit for the inside, you will have to wait in another line to get inside.

Why Do the Vegas Clubs Offer a Guest List?

First and foremost, the mega-clubs in Las Vegas require a lot of people to make them look busy. Also, a guest list is a brilliant marketing strategy. By creating a sense of excitement, exclusivity, and VIP treatment, these clubs can attract more people and generate buzz around their establishment. After all, who doesn't want to feel like a VIP for the night!? Having a guest list helps clubs manage their crowd and ensure a good mix of people. By controlling the number of guests and knowing who will be attending, clubs can maintain a certain level of quality and avoid overcrowding. But let's not forget the real reason behind the guest list. It's all about the money. By offering perks like free entry or discounted drinks to those on the list, clubs can entice more people to come through their doors and ultimately increase their revenue. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved.

The Advantages & Disadvantages the List

The Advantages

The advantages of a guest list are that you and your group can gain free entry into a club or get a reduced cover charge. A handful of venues like Marquee nightclub and TAO nightclub offer ladies free drinks for specific hours. If you connect with a professional promotor who works at the venue, he may be able to introduce you to high-spending bottle service clients so you can experience the VIP treatment without paying thousands of dollars.

The Disadvantages

As previously mentioned, the guest list is not a true VIP list, so don't expect to have the red carpet rolled out. Lines for the guest lists can vary depending on the venue and the talent, but for the more popular clubs like Omnia nightclub, XS, Drai's Nightclub, and Hakkasan nightclub, there could be a wait time of 30 minutes up to one hour to get in. Some guest lists have so many people listed trying to get in for free there could potentially be hundreds or even thousands of people standing in line; guest lists do not guarantee entry.

The lines start forming hours before the club even opens. Once the club hits the guest limit for free entry, they will close the list. This means that even after waiting in line for an excessive amount of time, they will reject the free entry and leave you out in the cold. Other times, they will charge a higher cover at the door for guests to enter when they are close to or near capacity. The next option would be to buy tickets. On nights with highly sought-after artists, the clubs sell a lot of tickets, and the line is unbelievably long. The best thing to do would be to pay the extra money for expedited entry tickets or, even better, consider our VIP Entryor bottle service. In Vegas, it's a "you get what you pay for" scenario.

The Ugly Truth about the Guest List

Ah, the infamous Las Vegas guest list, where dreams of partying with the stars collide with the harsh reality of club capacity limits. It's a cruel game of chance where one night, you're sashaying past the velvet ropes, and the next, you're left out in the cold. Picture this – a world-renowned DJ is set to spin the hottest beats in town, and the club decides to offer free entry for ladies and a reduced cover for guys. Meanwhile, the promoters go into overdrive, hustling to fill that list with every person they can find. But when the night rolls around and over 2000 partygoers show up, it's like a scene from The Hunger Games trying to get through those doors. You see, the dirty little secret of the Las Vegas guest list is that sometimes it's just a ploy to make the club look busy. When they've already sold out tickets, and the demand is sky-high, they only use the list to sprinkle a few extras here and there. So you might be on the list, but that doesn't mean you're getting in. It's like playing musical chairs but with a much higher chance of disappointment.

Let me paint you a picture from my days as a promotion manager. I'll explain the sneaky shenanigans that go on behind the velvet ropes. Let's say the club's capacity is 4000 people, and 2500 tickets sold. Add in those high-rolling bottle service folks taking up tables, and suddenly, there's only room for 500 lucky souls on the guest list. Queue the masses of hopeful clubbers lining up outside, thinking they're going to waltz in for free or at a discount. But wait, there's a twist. The club will slow down the line, letting in a mere fraction of those waiting. It's all part of their master plan to maximize revenue. By the time 1 AM hits and the guest list closes, they'll start ushering in those willing to pay a premium cover charge. It's like a lesson in supply-and-demand, nightclub edition. So there you are, having stood in line for hours, watching as your chances of getting in dwindle. Do you cut your losses and call it a night, or do you bite the bullet and pony up for that cover charge? It's a classic case of club economics, where time wasted in line is just another price to pay for a night of revelry. In the end, it's all part of the dance of the nightclub world. So next time you find yourself standing in a long line outside a Vegas club, remember, sometimes you have to pay to play. Cheers to maximizing revenue, one cover charge at a time.

To ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience, especially on high-demand nights, I highly recommend purchasing tickets, using expedited entry, opting for a bar card,a party pass,or consider one of our services.

How Do I Get on the Guest List?

Getting on the guest list with us at Bachelorette Vegas is easy. All you have to do is click on the club you're interested in and submit their form, and it will automatically connect you to a promoter. FYI, we are not compensated for connecting you to a promoter, so understand that whatever happens between you and the promoter, the nightclub, and the list is not a reflection of my company. We are simply doing this as a favor in appreciation for you visiting our website.

What is the Las Vegas Party Pass?

The Las Vegas Party Pass created by TAO Group Hospitality, is a premier offering that provides access to nine of the most iconic dayclubs and nightclubs within their portfolio like Marquee Nightclub, TAO Nightclub, Hakkasan Nightclub, Omnia Nightclub, Palm Tree Beach Club, TAO Beach, Liquid Pool Lounge, and Marquee Dayclub where you will see high-profile DJs and artists Thursday to Sunday an affordable price.

What is a Free Guest List?

The concept of a free guest list is straightforward. It does not cost any money to be put on the list, but if someone tries to charge you, they are clearly trying to scam you. Attempting to charge for access to a free guest list is unethical and considered stealing, and it will seriously damage the relationship between the promoter and the club. Free means free! As previously mentioned, once a guest list expires, the club reserves the right to charge admission fees, so if there are instructions or times required for you to be at the club to gain free entry, please follow them. Remember, it is always better to be early than late when it comes to the clubs in Sin City.

Does the Guest List Cost Money?

Listen up, party people. Getting on the guest list should be as easy as swiping right on Tinder, free of charge. If someone is trying to nickel and dime you just to submit your name, they are straight up ripping you off. Don't fall for it. Save your hard-earned cash for the actual party, not some shady submission fee!

What Time Should I Arrive at the Venue?

Every event is different based on the demand and the artist. We will know the answer to this question based on variable circumstances, but we always recommend as early as possible!

What's the Difference Between a Guest List and VIP Entry?

Getting on the list for no cover or a reduced cover will get you entry through the Guest List line, but that line could be extremely long and move slowly. VIP Entry is a paid service where you agree to a fee to get walked in, usually through the table area. This service provides a much more expedited entry.

What's the Difference Between Guest List and Tickets?

Tickets are usually purchased in advance and will take precedence over people on the Guest List. By law, the club has to leave room for all paying ticket holders if capacity were to become an issue. The clubs would much rather sell tickets and have that money in the bank in advance of the event; therefore, ticket holders will get precedence over people on the Guest List.

What's the Difference Between the Guest List and Expedited Entry?

At most clubs, there are two forms of expedited entry. One is purchasing tickets in advance via the ticket link. There is usually a separate line to bring expedited ticket holders in quickly. Two, several clubs offer an expedited general admission area for people willing to pay a premium to bypass the lines and get in quickly. Be advised there is usually a hefty on-the-spot surcharge for expedited entry, but it beats waiting in a ridiculously long line. An example would be if the cover for males is $40, on-the-spot expedited entry would be $80.

How Do Promoters Get Paid?

Promoter pay is relatively straightforward; most get a low hourly rate or small salary plus a commission based on the number of people they bring in. Many of the clubs will pay more for the ladies than for men. For some events, they will not pay for men at all. A typical promoter payout might be $5 per girl and $3 per guy. These payoffs can change based on the artist and the demand for the evening.

Stealing from a Promoter

The age-old art of stealing from a promoter is like a game of cat and mouse, with clubgoers trying to outsmart the masterminds behind the guest lists. But let me tell you, as a former promotions manager, I've seen it all. Say a group of guys show up at the club, all hoping to get in for free or at a reduced price. But there's a catch. The club needs an even ratio of ladies to men. So these sneaky guys do hit the casino floor in search of unsuspecting women to bring back to the club. Little do they know, these women are already on some promoter's list. It's a dirty tactic. By poaching these ladies, you are essentially taking money out of a promoter's pocket. They've put in the hard work to get these women through the door, only to have them swiped right out from under their noses.

If Las Vegassecurity catches you in a recruit pursuit, it won't be pretty. They will kick you out, and you might not get the chance to ever go to that club. If you're a group of guys and the list is free or reduced with an even ratio, and you don't have any ladies, buy tickets; never steal from a hard-working promoter.

Is there a Dress Code?

All Las Vegas pools and nightclubs have a dress code – no exceptions! Don't be that person who has to slink back to their room in shame to change into something more suitable; that's a complete waste of time. So, please do yourself a favor and check out our dress code guide.

What about Holidays/Fight Weekends?

Holiday weekends like Memorial Day, Labor Day, Halloween, New Year's Eve, and the 4th of July can prove challenging to get into venues for free on a guest list. Since the demand and volume of people in town are significantly higher during this time, there might not be a list at all, or it may be cut off early.

Where Do I Go to Get in the List Line?

Every nightclub and pool has a different setup, and it will change depending on the artist for specific events. The best thing to do is look for signage, ask a security guard or us, and we will tell you exactly where to go.

Pregaming and Respect

Keep in mind the staff at the Vegas clubs are working in a high-pressure environment, so packing your patience and being respectful is of the utmost importance. On many occasions, we have seen people pregame in the room or come to a club after a long day at the pool, and they are intoxicated. The club reserves the right to deny access to anyone who has been over-served, and believe me, they will! Also, all Vegas clubs have a security check,and you will have to empty your pockets and purses and get scanned by a metal detector. Please use good judgment and common sense.

Do I have to Be Good Looking for the Guest List?

There were situations in the past that made national headlines where promoters in Vegas asked for pictures before putting guests on the list. Following legal challenges and discrimination lawsuits, clubs have relaxed their restrictions on the quality of the crowd. But just because efforts have been made to address concerns regarding discrimination and exclusivity in the club scene, biases and preferences may still exist behind the scenes. Even though it's not advertised that you have to be good-looking to get on a Las Vegas Guest List, most promoters know if they bring in bad quality people, they will not get paid for them, and they will likely get reprimanded and potentially fired if the quality of the crowd is not good. At certain high-demand events, you will find clubs that are only interested in listing attractive women because they know they will sell enough tickets and table service to fill the club without any list. If you're in doubt, I would highly recommend buying tickets. By law, they cannot deny you a ticket.
