100k budget for the weekend between myself and some co workers.

We want the most jam packed weekend possible. This was a last minute thing but we'll be flying there this weekend.

We have the penthouse secured and high end exotic vehicles secured for the week.
What would leave a really memorable experience?

I'm thinking Grand Canyon Tour by helicopter. Vegas strip helicopter tour?
We want to do one nightclub out one night only. Reserving a table we don't want to spend more than 10k at the club that night but we would like a table and V.I.P is this doable on the fight weekend?

What are the best clubs?

What are the best casinos to gamble?

Where are the best parties?

What are good security companies to hire to protect us for the week?

Where can I hire some drivers if I don't feel like driving?

Any ghost towns in NV?

How is the drive to Reno? We don't mind a little short drive a few hours to see what the rest of the state has to offer!!!

We have vehicles, so the nightclub/VIP,table doesn't have to be on the strip anywhere cool in the metro area. We like a mixed crowd. Definitely not any rowdy crowds or rowdy people.

Most of all what to do. My co-worker who thought of the idea wants us to be busy from landing until the day we leave. How can we make that possible? We can sleep on the plane coming back home lol.

If any of you Vegas residents have connections please PM me. It's city-data data let's help one another!!!

reno is 450 miles north of vegas, which is a ~7 hr car ride. i don't think you will have time to fit reno into your busy weekend.

Sounds like a trip of a lifetime! Can't help you with the details, but have fun.

And with your budget, if Reno is desired, just fly up and back!

OK no worries thanks for responding. How is Red Rock and the Grand Canyon?

Are they worth it?

We have saved up for it over the years so it's finally here. I'm excited first time in LV.

I'm surprised the OP does not know the perks that come with securing a penthouse in Las Vegas. These accommodations come with special Concierge staff not only knowledgeable about activities in and around Las Vegas, but they have the contacts (read: juice) to arrange everything involved. The assigned Concierge already should have been in contact with the OP to ascertain every thing from travel specs to liquor/food preferences (the latter so the penthouse can be stocked accordingly).

These aren't your normal Concierges. As a wealthy friend of mine once explained: "A good Concierge can get you a table or into a show. A great Concierge can get you into a sold-out event or show."

Nice. I'm actually going to go ahead and give them a call. The staff has been friendly but maybe because we haven't landed yet they don't want to give us all available options.

Sounds a bit feeble then. Where are you staying?

When we booked MGM skylofts we spoke to the concierge before arrival had clubs, shows etc all sorted. We even picked a very obscure German beer and told them to stock it. They spent ages trying to source it, couldn't but did find some other equally agreeable obscure German beers.

If they haven't even contacted you, I'd be off somewhere else, at this price point there's no excuse for dropping the ball.

Edit: fight weekend? Are you actually going to the fight? If not, reschedule, or you will quite literally pay double or more. Tables will jump from 5k spend to 15k, and rooms easily double. MGM changes table limits from $15 min to $200 min too

A week or a weekend? Your thread title says week but tour first post says weekend. The amount of time you have will make all the difference.

Red Rock Canyon is a close easy drive. The helicopter tour of the strip at night is pretty cool, too.

Security companies, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sorry but this sounds completely ridiculous. A last minute trip, asking strangers on the internet, and spending 100,000 dollars????? Are you out of your mind? Truthfully I have a hard time believing this is real.

You could buy a house and have a permanent place to stay when you come visit.
