The Official Tipping Guide To Las Vegas

Know how much tip to give BEFORE YOU GO.

Before anything else…

Many countries automatically add gratuities to a tourist’s bill if they are not from that country.
If you have a particular question regarding tipping doormen at the nightclubs, you can post it on our community discussion boards and you will get a response from one of the many readers of LasVegasNightclubs.com in a matter of minutes. We have been informed by our advertisers in the nightlife industry that we can’t legally say anything about doorman tips in this guide.

  • Have a few cash dollars to keep on-hand for your bartenders and waiters.
  • Slapping them on the hand is another way to try and get them to pay.
  • Join our guests and become a member of Dayclub or Nightclub.

ADVICE FOR VEGAS:

  • Valet Parking – In Las Vegas, the parking service is free of charge. Plus it’s a handy service! Never offer your valet less than $3 or $5. If you’re feeling generous, you can tip $20 to the person that is picking up your vehicle. Your ticket will be stamped VIP and you will get your car much quicker.
  • Your waiter/waitress -If it was good I would double the tax figure (7.5%) and add some more.
  • Your gratuity may already be included if you’re part of a big group (sometimes, 18% is automatically included). This is also referred to as “Auto-Grat” in the restaurant business.
  • The VIP host -There is a wide variety of Vip hosts at Night Club Experts. Others will let you ride in free limousines or get into a difficult night club. Others will introduce you to your cocktail server. The price you pay your VIP host will depend on the type of host you’re doing and the service they provide. The budget is estimated at $75 at the low end and up to $1,000 or higher at the upper end. If they have a nightclub host that has helped you make your reservation, be sure to tip them as soon as you hand them over to the cocktail waitress.
  • You, Bartender: Drink is costly, but you’re not. End-of-the-night tips to the bartender of $2 per drink (or 15-20%) of the total tab are appropriate. You may save money, since many bartenders will give a drink or shots for free to good tippers. Next time, they’ll be quicker to serve you!
  • Your Casino cocktail waitress -Getting complimentary cocktails in a Casino? A $1-5 tip will be appreciated by your waitress (more if you’re winning). If you give her more fluids, then she’ll give you more. Do you wish to pay for your drink? You can give $1-$3 per drink.
  • The guideline for your chauffeur is 20% of the overall expense, which is going to be performed by your limousine driver. If it’s something that you need to do in less than an hour, $40 will suffice. That’s where you should begin, at $40 and go up by $20 if they’re intending on luring you out for dinner.
  • Your Skydive instructor -If there is a chance for you to go to Boulder City and you are not afraid of death, then you should pay $160 to experience the thrill of your life. If you’re going to skydive for the first time, you will probably go tandem (attached to your instructor). Typically, sky diving instructors receive about 20 percent of your body weight, meaning that your weight will make their job more difficult.
  • Be sure to tip your cleaning lady -Most of us don’t remember to tip our cleaning ladies. You don’t see her, right? If you’re feeling generous and kind, you can put some cash on your maid’s dresser when you’re checking out. Typically, you can ask for $5 a night in the room you spend in. If you felt like being “generous” by partying hard, puking in the whole room, throwing furniture around or leaving condoms on the floor then you are more “generous”.
  • Your Hair Stylist/Masseuse – We have various services to pamper you during your vacation. Oh, it’s too risky not to experience some of these relaxing things. When receiving a service, such as haircut, make-up or massage, offer a 20% tip upon completion.
