I've been on 2 stags down there, my own included. Always lots going on.

Clubs will be dead Thursday, and not really worth it. Get something to eat at an all night place (regular restaruants close around 10) and the clubs usually close early (like 1am)...Friday Saturday sure, they are open until 4 probably, but any of the major Strip hotels you either have to be waiting in line early (ie near the front) or wait it out, or, dig deep to grease.

To be honest, any major clubs, you're looking at least $30 per guy (probably more), + the nominal $20 cover easily to grease. Almost to cheaper to shell out for a table with a bottle service (I cant recall, maybe $600?) if you don't want to be waiting anywhere. That usually gets your group in without line and extra cover, plus a reserved table, plus a bottle (a 24) of spirits.

If you're in a big group of guys, expect no breaks. Hot women don't get a break either to skip line (unless they are locals). But, you can line up early (say around 9) and have a good chance of getting in just for cover charge...but you have to be willing to wait it out.

Drinks anywhere and everywhere at clubs are at least $7-10, beer maybe less.

Never heard anything about Club 54, but don't expect it to be much different then any other club. The last two stags (I've been 2 or 3 other tame times) we've went to the club in the Hard Rock, and had no complaints.
