What is the difference between being on a guest list and reserving a table?|157002

Or is there one?

My friends and I are planning on going to Las Vegas this May and the club (Moon, if you care) offered to put us on a guest list and we would get in for free. I just want to make sure this is different than reserving a table and paying for bottle service.

Thank you in advance!

Guest List:

You get in without paying a cover but you still have to stay in the guest list line, which is quite long. Anyone can get on the guest list, just send a club promoter a message via myspace and you_re on the list. They need to meet a quota and will do anything to put people on the guest list.

You get no special treatment when you_re inside the club.
Table service:

Depending on the club, this is quite expensive. When you pay for bottle service you get a place to sit down and have VIP access, depends on the club, to celebrities. An example of this is at LAX.

You get special treatment inside the club.

Being on a guest list means that you don_t have to pay the cover charge to get in.

also,

some _guest lists_ get shut down at certain times. and some still have you pay a reduced cover of sorts.

a guest list is what used to be known as you were cool and able to breeze in. those days are gone. now if youre able to breeze in, you will do exactly that. not even wait in a line.

with the case of some celebrities, their people have called the clubs people and there is a vip host that knows they are arriving.

for men, i would suggest just getting a bottle. if you call ahead (which you would want to do, because 99% of the time tables are prebooked) you will gain entrance into the club the same way as celebrities. you wont have to wait in line. and you will have women looking at your table, and if youre cute enough come join you. or even go pick some out yourself, but its a lot more attractive for a guy to say, hey.. do you want to come to my table? we have a bottle of ketel 1.. as opposed to, hey lets wait at this 4 deep bar and order a drink and its so loud i bet you cant even hear me asking you this...

for women, you can usually find a guy that has table service and just sit yourself on down. :)

How long does it take to tour Kennedy Space Center?|139628

Going to Orlando next month for 4 night cruise and 4 days at WDW. We are trying to find a way to fit in KSC into our schedule, but we really don_t have a free day. Can we do it in 2-3 hours? What would you recommend? Is it worth the price of admission?

You really would need at least half a day to see everything. Space travel isn_t one of my top interests, but KSC is actually a really cool place. In 2-3 hours you could probably see most of the exhibits in the buildings, as well as the rocket garden. However, there is an IMAX there, a space shuttle launch simulator and a two-hour bus tour that takes you where civilians usually aren_t allowed to go to see things like launch sites and where they make parts for the space station, etc.

It_s very much worth the price of admission. If you are there in the later part of the afternoon, they usually have a short lecture in one of the buildings. An American Astronaut is there to talk about what it_s like to do a shuttle mission. This alone is worth the effort. They have a shuttle simulator that_s awesome. KSC is probably one of the best kept secrets in Florida.

I_ve never been there, but my husband went when he was in Florida on a business trip. He says that there is enough there to see to take up a whole day or even more. He loved it!

What Beaches in or near NYC for the 4th of July?|192072

I am planning on spending a nice, (hopefully) quiet 4th. I_ve decided to go to a beach, but I_m new to the city and not sure where to go. Hopefully, somewhere clean and not terribly crowded. Don_t really care which of the boroughs, if you have some suggestions in Jersey, that would work too. Do you think the water would be warm at this time?

And please don_t suggest Coney, I did a little research and have already crossed that one out. Save that for another time. Thanks.

Al the Beach_s near NYC will be open July 4
the water will (be) look warm!

How did Highland park become as bad of an area it is?|110289

It_s worse than the place formerly known as Cabenie Green that used to be in Chicago.

Hamtramack and Highland Park have got to be the worst parts of Detroit.

Why hasn_t anyone given any consideration to cleaning up these places?

Hamtramack and Highland Park are separate cities that happen to be surrounded by Detroit. Detroit has nothing to do with those cities.
I can_t say much for Hamtramack, except there used to be a lot of Polish people there. They had nice stores, and a feeling of safeness.
Highland Park was once a city were the elite lived, you could probably compare it to today_s Birmingham. They had lots of small shops, was where Henry Ford had his first assembly line. Chrysler_s world headquarters were there until the 90_s. The Davison Freeway was the FIRST freeway in the world ( all 2.8 miles of it)
Highland Park is the birthplace of Bill Haley, the artist who first made music that later became known as rock_n_ roll.
The Ford plant gave birth to Hazel Park ( known as a bedroom community) The workers couldn_t afford to live in Highland Park.
My Dad spent the early part of his life in Highland Park, he showed me the house that he grew up in, it was a mansion.
Take a drive through Highlan Park, you can see the once lavish homes.....all wasted.
There is still some industry in Highland Park but 90% of its gone. I don_t know how they exist with no Tax base. What that and those city_s need is major investment.

DRUGS. Plain and simple. Drugs and poverty took over Highland park and turned it into a land of crackheads and prostitutes.

Hamtramck is nowhere near as bad as Highland Park. Both these towns are broke as crap though so they don_t even have the money to clean it up if they wanted to.

Maybe if the Mayor stops getting lawsuits thrown at him, we_d have more money to help these cities out.

No one that lives in Highland Park cares. I don_t know about Hamtramack.
Neither has any industry for a tax base. Any companies that were viable left them decades ago.

When the economy changed in the 1960s people started taking single family homes and turning them into apartments. The people living there didn_t have the right to fix things up (because they were renters) or the money (economic downturn) and things just got worse and worse.

While there are huge problems with drugs and some people don_t care, most of the people there care about their community but don_t have the tax base in the city government to do much about it. There have been recent improvements and development in the area, including a new very nice strip mall with an Aldi.

Hamtramck is a vibrant community with a lot of eclectic shops, etc. It is NOT the worst part of Detroit.

That is solid evidence that political figure heads like Kwame Kilpatrick only cared about the welfare of his own neighbor hood and ignores the needs of the rest of the city.

Let_s just say that the area doesn_t have a very high rate of intellegence.......

Is there any laid back coffee shops in NYC where I could lounge and study for a few hours?|157693

I am looking for a coffee shop preferable in Manhattan where I can lounge and read books for a couple of hours over a cup of coffee.

Everything I_ve been finding so far has wooden chairs and tables with this quick drink and go environment. I haven_t found anything with couches or where lounging is encouraged. Any ideas?

Push Cafe Third and 23RD -- did a search for it and also found this
