Yes, you pay for them with express comps. Some of them were pretty outrageous and I was just wondering if anyone has actually done a "moment".
I took my girlfriend to Vegas and met up with my folks for 2 of the days. They're Vegas Vets with hosts all over the place. They took us over to NYNY to hit up the Casino and then mom went to find us a table at 9 Fine Irishmen. We thought nothing of it, even though they put us at this big circular table (only 4 of us) with 2 beer spouts in the middle. We had some food and two things threw me for a bit of a loop. The Irishmen has a stage and there was a celtic band playing, complete with the hackysack dance. A bouncer came by the table and without any prompting removed people who were semi-blocking our view (from our way, not from the pub). Second was when the waitress came by and put nozzles on the beer taps (mmm Guiness) and left glasses for us. Unlimited beer. I had as much as I could after the good sized portion of Sheppards Pie I'd eaten. A little later towards the end of their set, we all get called up on stage by name for a group picture with the band and an 'Honorary Irishman" sash. It was pretty neat. One of those kinds of ways of making an experience unique.
Cool. Thanks for sharing. I just looked it up, and noticed that now, some of them are restricted by tier, i.e., For $3,500, you can go backstage at the Bellagio fountain show - but it's only open to Platinum and above.
