I've seen guys who have a bottle placed behind the bar with their name on it. I was told they brought it in and it is obviously cheaper to drink that way. Is this true and if so, is there a bottle fee or bar fee associated with it? Anyone in the "know", please chime in. I dont mind paying for my drinks but if I could place a bottle of Jeager behind the bar for shots with the chicas, it would def be nice.

Thanks in advance,

Jac

I don't know for sure, I've never asked. I've always assumed that any bar would refuse to let you bring in your own liquor. Some of the liquors by the bottle are very reasonably priced with not much of a markup. Or you can always keep liquor in your room and offer to serve ladies drinks in your room. Once I had six chicas in my room and the liquor started flowing and I got a freebie once there were only three left and it was a blast!

A 1 liter of JD is about $75 bucks, but you can pour all you want and the chicas don't normally bother you as they don't like it much (some of them probably wouldn't care if u were drinking moonshine as long as you had something to cut it with) I think I heard Vodka, a good brand, is about the same price, maybe 5 bucks less. IMHO, its the only way to go if you spend a lot of time there.

When I stayed at SL, I kept an inventory of bottles from the Airport Duty Free in my room, but purchased mixers from the SL Bar.

To reiterate:

- Buy the bottle anywhere you want and keep it in your room, or...

- Buy a bottle from SL and keep it at the bar.

Yes, a bottle from SL is more expensive than on the street but it is much cheaper than buying by the drink and the convenience of pouring you own when you want, the way you want, is hard to beat.

Man that is cheap...lol... what did you do, run back to your room every time you wanted to fill your drink?

On my last trip in March, I sat at one of the tables with stools back by the bar at the SL, with my bottle of Glenlivet. One of the waitresses just explained to me that she needed to charge me a corkage fee, and I was fine with that. And I would order my mixers from the Bar with no problem
