    Just wondering: At the end of the night, if you had a table and bought a bottle of vodka or whatever and don’t finish it, can you leave with the bottle?

    I’ve never seen it done, but even if you can, the bottle loses about 95% of its “value” the moment you walk out the door of the club and back into the real world...

    But it loses 100% of its value if it's left behind.

    Personally, I wouldn't ask. Though I'd be sneaky and pour it into an empty Fiji bottle or something. It's yours, you paid for it, and you're walking into a casino where you are permitted to have alcohol. I can't see how there would be any issues with it. You may have issues taking it into a taxi or rideshare since it is technically open alcohol. But again, if you're being sneaky... nobody has to know.

    hit or miss. One time my buddy walked out with two plastic cups filled with vodka. That was luck. most places wouldnt let you do that and some places even require you to put any left over drinks in their bucket before leaving. It can be done, yes. but they usually frown on it, and i dont know why. sometimes a tip is needed, then he'll walk you out the back way where you cant be bothered.

    A buddy of mine had his magnum of vodka sent to his room after a night at Omnia. It can be done technically but your host has to hook that up

    I should note.

    1. He had a 15k min dancefloor table at Omnia
    2. He has a long standing relationship with his host and promoter
    3. He goes there probably 4 times a year so they know he has a track record of spend
    4. He stayed in a suite in CP

    Had a leftover bottle at Marquee that they offered to bag and seal up so we could walk out with it.

    At the prices they charge people would not drink it all? Something is not adding up here.

    I think considering that the underlying reason people get bottle service is to get the attention of prospective companions and host them for a short period of courting/pleasantries before "taking this party somewhere else", being sober enough to get it up is a greater priority compared to getting your money's worth of liquor.

    Add this up: two guys, bottle service Thursday night at Voodoo, Cabana with bottle friday morning and bottle service Saturday night at Jewel. That’s three liters of Vodka plus in 48 hours. Here’s hoping we can make some friends.

    Well...I am back
    And I still can not answer the question

    Thursday at Voodoo we finished the bottle of grey goose and two large bowls of voodoo cocktails.
    Saturday we went again. Also finished the bottle, got a second one. Then also ordered some additional drinks
    Suffice it to say-we had made some friends both night who helped us out

    PS At the Flamingo pool Friday we had a cabana. Included a bottle of ( cheap) vodka. We did not finish it. We were told we could not leave with a glass bottle. But our server suggested that we use some empty Fiji water bottles to make up some vodka and cranberry to take back to our room.

    That is because you aren't paying for the bottle, you are paying for the table. So if you want a good table next to the dance floor then that table requires a certain minimum spend. Whether you drink or not, you have to pay the minimum spend anyway.

    @jhpa , yeah I was just going to suggest bottling the liquor it into fiji water bottles. Done that before and you can even sip on them as you walk around the casino.

    We failed to finish a bottle one time and our host just told us to empty the vodka in plastic cups and we walked out.

    I love left over alcohol. Many times, people can’t drink all and have offered me (friendly bystander) drinks. Just a few weeks ago at XS Nightswim my GF and I drank with a couple of folks from the Bay-area. As NFC said, the money is not paid for the alcohol. It is paid for the location, space, privilege and status of the private area. I guess, the alcohol is partially thrown in by the club out of habit and to lower ones inhibitions:)

    Technically not supposed to but it can be done. Honestly, I never thought it was worth it. Once you leave, it is nearly worthless. There's something about used alcohol that I don't like. You wouldn't bring a 3/4 bottle of anything to a party or gathering. It's weird. Here's half a pizza, hope you don't mind.
    Just leave it. Not worth the hassle imo. Another thing I find weird are the guys who walk around swigging from a bottle of Hennessy. I only see it in Vegas, but I do see it every trip. Keep it classy.
