We had a follower ask about clubs, so here is our response! Gone are the days of sweet-talking bouncers to get on the no-cover guest list. Now, it’s as simple as visiting No Cover Nightclubs, filling out a quick form, and getting a QR code emailed straight to you. Show the code at the door, and voilà, you're on the list. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, here’s the real deal.
How It Works
Yes, it’s easy to sign up, and yes, it’s technically free to get in. However, what the fine print (or lack of it) doesn’t tell you is how much waiting, crowding, and compromising you’re in for. And you'll beed an equal ratio or more of females to males. Let’s break it down:
The Waiting Game
- As a guest list attendee, you’ll join a separate line from the ticket holders. This line moves much slower because ticket holders are prioritized.
- If you arrive after 11 PM, brace yourself for 1-2 hours of standing around. Arriving earlier (around 10-10:30 PM) will cut your wait time to 10-30 minutes, but that means killing a lot of time before the headliner even starts.
The "Free" Experience
- If you’re attending a hybrid indoor/outdoor venue like XS Nightclub, prepare to be shuffled to the least desirable viewing areas—often outdoors and far from the main stage. Ticket holders, meanwhile, get access to prime spots like the pit or main dance floor.
- Sure, you’re in for free, but drinks? That’s another story. Expect to pay $30+ for basic well drinks or watered-down cocktails. Those hours of waiting and limited access can make the “free” deal feel more like a burden.
Timing is Everything
- The headliner—the person you came to see—won’t hit the stage until at least 2 AM. So, unless you’re down to kill four hours in a crowded, noisy environment (and spend a small fortune on overpriced drinks), you’ll find yourself questioning whether it’s worth it.
The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
It all boils down to this: how much do you value your time? The guest list might save you $50 upfront, but if you consider the hours spent waiting, the limited access, and the high cost of drinks, the “free” entry doesn’t feel so free anymore.
If you’re seeing a big-name act like Steve Aoki, Marshmello, or Illenium, buy the ticket. For around $50, you’ll:
- Save hours of waiting in line.
- Enjoy better views and closer proximity to the action.
- Have the convenience of showing up when you want.
Sometimes, paying a little extra is worth avoiding the hassle, and this is one of those cases. Save the guest list for a casual night out or smaller venues. If it’s a headliner you’re hyped to see, skip the “free” line and treat yourself to the full experience.
In Vegas, you really do get what you pay for.
