The Ultra-Luxury Vegas Experience
This isn't a trip. It's a statement.
If you're reading this, you're not interested in "good enough." You want the penthouse, the private tables, the restaurants that don't take reservations from the public, and the experiences that most people only read about.
This itinerary assumes money is not the constraint—only time and access are.

Time Savers

Common Luxury Mistakes to Avoid
What NOT to Do

- ❌ Skipping the spa (you're here to relax too)
- ❌ Not using the concierge (that's literally their job)
Red Flags
- ❌ Wearing sneakers to fine dining (instant downgrade)
- ❌ Being rude to staff (they control your experience)
- ❌ Haggling over prices in person (negotiate before, not during)
- ❌ Showing up drunk to é or other Michelin spots (they'll remember)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth spending $10,000+ on a Vegas trip?
If you can afford it without stress, absolutely. The difference between $2,000 and $10,000 is night-and-day. Penthouse vs hotel room. é vs Applebee's. Owner's table vs general admission.
Can we do luxury Vegas on a budget?
Not really. You can do "elevated" Vegas for $3,000-5,000/person (nice suite, good restaurants, one VIP table). But true luxury starts at $8,000+.
What's the single biggest luxury upgrade?
The penthouse suite. It sets the tone for everything. You wake up in luxury, you pre-game in luxury, you bring people back to luxury. It's worth the $2,000-4,000/night.
Should we hire a VIP host?
For nightclubs, yes. Email the club host directly (not the website). They'll get you better tables, better locations, better service. Usually no extra fee—they make commission on your spend.
Is é by José Andrés worth $500/person?
Yes. It's the most exclusive dining experience in Vegas. 8 seats, 2-3 hours, 20+ courses. You'll remember it forever.
