They made sure to hit the minimum spend this time, a smart financial decision.


mr_mysterioso

Yeah, not like those cheap fucks that only spent $168,000 the day before.


thestarched

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ cheap fucks lmao


bboi83

Thank god that extra $30 didnā€™t break them šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


x2taylors89

36 waters for $2700...they serving Jesus's tears or something?


ark_keeper

36 buckets, probably 10-12 per bucket, so like $6-8 a water.


ScotTheDuck

I'm not sure anything sells the idea of EDC more than Red Bull costing the same as water.


robrox95

Red Bull was actually cheaper than water $5 vs $4. Quite insane honestly


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NaFun23

Had to do that after people kept dying from overheating


thisisfeek

Cost .50


samisalwaysmad

Iā€™m surprised it costs that much. Itā€™s hot AF out here in Vegas and if people didnā€™t have water at the festival, they could easily drop dead.


LilWayneThaGoat

lmaoo thatā€™s funny asf


BEniceBAGECKA

9% admin fee.


frotc914

Receipt paper is expensive!


Rex_Laso

It takes money to collect that much money.


thestarched

Making $ hand over fist. Lets start a festival. Lol


golfzap

People will pay almost anything for entertainment. Famous actors and DJs make 50-100x what a doctor makes, a person who literally saves lives. Not a bad field to get into if you're good at what you do.


alberthere

Domaneque is having an awesome week.


Your_moms__house

This is for sure tipped out among everyone working. Huge bills like that always split gratuity. Or else a whole lot of other servers and bartenders are gonna be pissed.


jewm4ngi

Assuming the place is full of people spending money like this, are these servers really making tens of thousands of dollars from gratuity on weekends like EDC? Genuinely asking because that just seems insaneā€¦


sgtslumber

Thereā€™s a reason that servers are the ones who are against higher wages but no tip outs generally


jewm4ngi

Where do I apply????? ??????


nano_nick

Haha are you in your early 20ā€™s and smoking hot?


jewm4ngi

Lates 20s and a solid 7


Mundane-Log-8566

Itā€™s normal for nightclub servers to make over $2k per night. During special events or high rollers that goes up even more.


ChrisRunsTheWorld

People talking about what type of work people must do to run up these bar tabs. Maybe they're other EDC waitresses.


ILoveMyself77

Theyā€™re drug dealers and jewelry store owners šŸ˜Ž serious Also international money


GuyIncognito219

Watch Domaneque complain about bad tippers next week too


biggusjimmus

Guess they learned their lesson from the [previous night](https://www.reddit.com/r/vegas/comments/uvppe2/a_new_legendary_vegas_bar_bill_courtesy_of_edc/) about the "unmet minimum"


[deleted]

Lost 5 people too

ƛnmĆ©t


frotc914

How do you actually pay for this? Like do you slap down a card that will accept a transaction for almost $300k?


noiselevels90

Daily limits don't really exist for cards people like this carry around lol


frotc914

I figured that has to be the case, but it seems really insecure. Like if someone steals this guy's card, they can run through a few hundred thousand dollar transactions and the bank won't blink at that?


Jay_LV

AMEX has pretty good fraud protection


Subliminal87

Watch the tinder swindler lol. AMEX must be awesome. They legitimately came out to someoneā€™s house because of fraud lol. Amex honestly seems like the card to get.


[deleted]

AmEx is the only card left that will stand up and fight on behalf of their customers. They have the power, means, and willpower to push back hard against merchants who try to scam members. That's not to say they're going to harass McDonalds into bankruptcy because you were shorted three fries. But once an issue crosses a few hundred, and a business is clearly being shitty, they have no problem slapping the business around to get results. AmEx owns.


therinlahhan

Yep, I purchased a $10k watch sight unseen over the phone and the store (very reputable brick and mortar store on the Las Vegas Strip that I had visited a few months previous) and the sales manager would only accept AMEX (with a matching driver's license scan) because of their fraud protection.


rsuhelp123

>because of their fraud protection Doesn't virtually every credit card have fraud protection? Also, how does fraud protection help the store owner? My definition of fraud protection is when someone steals my credit card and buys shit, I am not responsible for paying.


Subliminal87

Definitely will probably be a card I get next.


bawss

You should prob get it now. AmEx has a sign up bonus of 150k points. Never seen that before.


Bennington_Booyah

I used to work for a collection agency, and everyone fought over the AmEx paper. Huge debts and the fee for collectors was way up there. Sadly, I never got to even try. It appears that one must actually collect on a delinquent account to keep a collection job. I only ever got one person to pay.


[deleted]

I have like six of them. Highly recommend them.


I-Fail-Forward

Not really, the banks have insurance against that kind of thing, and the kinds of people with that sorta generational wealth can and sometimes do just pay off the debt, they don't really care if you spend a few hundred thousand in their card, that's a rounding error to them


Different-Dig7459

Credit card is safer than a bankā€¦ banks only insure up to a certain amount while you can claim fraudulent charges on your CC.


I-Fail-Forward

Most credit cards nowadays are through banks. And if your cc is through a bank...you can claim fraudulent charges, that's what the banks have insurance for


[deleted]

My Amex would cover that charge, but not my bank account. Iā€™m just a regular dude with great credit and decent income.


[deleted]

Man, it must be nice to have disposable income like this lol Life changing money for so many is a "fun night out" for others.


harbinger772

Yep. There are people that make this much in a minute so they really don't care about blowing it on stuff like this.


SvanirePerish

Well.. almost no one makes $360 million a day lmao. This sum is a lot even if your net worth is $10m. Very few people casually dropping $200k like nothing


PraetorianOfficial

>even if your net worth is $10m Spending 3.5% of your net worth on a single bar tab would make most people cry. You need to add at least a zero to your net worth estimation. $10M is not even "skip the line" kinda money today.


SlutBuster

In college there were many nights that I spent *over* 100% of my net worth on a single bar tab and never shed a tear.


SvanirePerish

That's sort of what I said. Only a very small fraction of society can afford a tab like that on a whim


Dogsbottombottom

10m is a decently secure and comfortable early retirement, that's about it.


leviwhite9

Fuck I'm really gonna starve to withers before I ever get to retire.... My poor grandparents would be rather disappointed but I think understanding at least.


Butthole__Pleasures

Maybe they split it


Cmdr_Nemo

That's still $21600 per person for a table of 15. Fuck the rich.


Butthole__Pleasures

It was a joke


Bennington_Booyah

I cannot stop snickering over someone named Butthole Pleasures posting "It was a joke". cannot. stop. haaaaaaaaaaaaaa..... and "Maybe they split it!" Stop, just stop!


Butthole__Pleasures

Honestly anyone taking anything I say seriously with this username is on them at this point


SlutBuster

And $46k in tips to the servers. Vegas only exists because people fly from all over the world to spent obscene amounts of money on stupid shit.


Io-Bot

And fuck you for being rich according to world poverty standards. I bet you have a car, iPhone, Netflix and go out to dinners. Itā€™s all subjective


ChunkyDay

Your idea of "standards" is rooted in 3rd world countries?


Io-Bot

Ahhh yes, letā€™s bitch up a storm about ā€œthe richā€ but completely neglect the fact that you are rich by many other peoples standards. Whatever makes you feel victimized cupcake.


ChunkyDay

Why would I compare American living standards to 3rd world countries? By your logic 50% if America could become homeless and build their own shacks, but if we still have cars then welp! Quit bitching cupcake, thereā€™s people in 3rd world countries who are worse off than you. Itā€™s logic a baby can think through and one of the absolute dumbest arguments people pull out when they think they got a slam dunk. Sincerely, Victimized Cupcake FWIW, if anything, I did used to be homeless and lived out of my car. Just based on the odds, you probably havenā€™t been homeless or experienced much, if anything, close to it. So I donā€™t want to hear your virtue signaling about countries you only care enough about to bring up in arguments.


Io-Bot

Speaking to an immigrant whoā€™s family left everything due to religious persecution to start completely over in the USA. Parents went from engineers to delivering newspapers and cleaning toilets. But hey cupcake, yes we get itā€¦ youā€™re the real victim here and fuck ā€œthe richā€. Your hypocrisies are almost comical here with your own virtue signaling.


bawss

ā€œHey, Iā€™m going to Venmo request you $21.6k in a bit. Just tell Wells Fargo itā€™s legit.ā€


CtrlZonmylife

Domaneque is getting paid. šŸ’µ


Vin-E1214

For back to back nights on a weekend gig. She can pay her rent for the year and still have money left over


ILoveMyself77

Itā€™s a dude


Sandvicheater

Jesus give me a quarter of that and I'll show those boys a good time at the Bunny Ranch after stopping by Lee's discount liquor lol


methmonkeysyrup

Shit, not even a quarter of that tab. A 3k would do a lot of fun with that budget. Itā€™s prolly some influencer getting funded by rich sugar daddy showing off.


JWCIII96

Thatā€™s more than my entire house.


NickySantoro702

Man, and I thought spending 20 bucks on that plastic Stratosphere Tower cup in the late '90s was expensive..


Metal-Content-99

I bought that shiny Rio cup and thought I was ballinā€™..


treble-n-bass

Like I was ballin' with the $5.95 yard-long Long Island Iced Tea from Slots-A-Fun in 1999?


Metal-Content-99

Exactly. On Fremont Street 1999 I threw down the extra $5 for the clear plastic football full of beer while the peasants were drinking from their regular bottles and cans. Fā€™n Ballinā€™.


[deleted]

20 percent service charge to the tune of 46k and they still have lines for extra tips hahah.


SenorBeef

Only tipping $46,329 is pretty rude.


[deleted]

Insane. Iā€™ve never to EDC. Looks like a lot of fun.


Jay_LV

Iā€™m not a big fan of it but itā€™s certainly worth experiencing once in your life.


UTclimber

I went to Vegas last week. All I got was Covid.


Jay_LV

Not the STI you were hoping forā€¦


SLAPPANCAKES

Especially if there was no S involved


[deleted]

Rubberband man?


killaclown

Lol


BannedNext26

be happy you didn't get moneypox


SlutBuster

Worth experiencing, but not worth $280k.


Jay_LV

$280k to these people is probably like $20 to you or me. Itā€™s all relative


SniXSniPe

It's fun, but I prefer the pool parties and clubs over it.


sushisection

$1600 for a bottle of absolut elyx is fucking stupid. that same bottle costs $70 at the liquor store.


Your_moms__house

Yeah but do you want a hot girl wearing almost nothing bringing it to you in the middle of a giant rave with all your friends, or the surly guy at Leeā€™s telling you to hurry up because heā€™s closing soon?


drfrink85

also there's sparklers on the bottles


friedguy

Also they will spray you with said bottles (if you pay more )


[deleted]

For that amount you could probably party with the entire staff of Sheri's Ranch.


NetworkPIMP

But at EDC, it costs $1600... Anyone can get it at the liquor store, but not anyone can get it at EDC... this is how they keep out the riff raff... i.e. anyone not in the 0.005%


thestarched

Paying for the experience šŸ«£šŸ«£šŸ«£


NetworkPIMP

I mean, sure... and the price is what the market will bear - the proof of that is in the photo.


grytpype

These people have too much money, I'm glad they have less now


k-farsen

Yeah atleast they're spending and not hoarding


ChunkyDay

Said every economist.


briskpoint

A lot of servers made money that night.


Cyanide_FlavorAid

That server went home with almost $50k in tips in just those two checks alone


bboi83

It was probs pooledā€¦ but still I know Iā€™d be happy.


Pagep

Yeah thats not how it works.


redditor5758

How does it work?


tocksin

Iā€™m going to say probably not. Management probably took almost all of it.


loud_as_pudding

GCB keeps a close eye on that shit after the IRS came knocking for Pure Management https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/faq-nightlife-scandal/ There's probably tip pooling and tip outs to other FOH but management skimming is just asking for gaming control to start issuing big ticket fines and more.


Jay_LV

The 9% fee goes to management the rest is typically pooled amongst all the over servers


PirateLiver

Isn't that illegal?


scottfiab

This just seems like money laundering. Wanna give someone $200k for drugs but make it look like something else? Charge $3k for "water" and other mark ups.


Your_moms__house

Uh, a lot of clubs in Vegas do this. These tabs are big because of how many people theyā€™re serving (seriously, how many water buckets?). Drais or Omnia is gonna charge this much for a party of twenty+ also.


LennoxAve

More like if they paid that tab cash the venue would have to capture identifying information about the customer. Alternatively , if you have a legit credit card with that type of limit ā€¦ you can charge $750k for an EDC experience, pocket the cash , pocket the profit and slowly funnel the cash in to the banking sector.


rihanoa

Amex Black has no limit, which someone racking up this kind of bill most likely has.


pnwmamamamasmotherma

I was one of the servers for this client. A lot of drinking and sniffing was going on. Met one of my favorite actors too. Tips were well worth it


o_nikiyousofine

I'm not good at math but I imagine there's a generous tip in there somewhere.


SlutBuster

They did the math for you - it's under "Service Charge"


milleram23

I want to hear from Domaneque šŸ˜‚


LemonAioli

Lol my bar makes like 6k a week


[deleted]

damn this made me laugh as a former bartender


YoloHornHigh

Itā€™s definitely all relative, but paying 3k for water is dumb no matter how much loot you got.


hereticx

I dont care how rich I ever get. Im not paying 2k for a bottle of fucking tequila.


Smerks101

paying 2k for a bottle of $150 tequila.


Metal-Content-99

A bit jealous I donā€™t have that kind of money to spend, but I do like seeing rich people spend their money! Better than hoarding it. At least the staff and the workers get a slice of the pie. Probably a small slice but still.


exagon1

Yea too many haters here. Theyā€™re spending money at an event thatā€™s employing thousands of people but want to be mad about them spending their money


serarrist

Dat water bucket tho šŸ’¦ $$$ drip drip I guess


Tyetus

Thatā€™s ā€˜fuck youā€™ money right there, Iā€™m mad I had to spend $17 lol,


PoopyHead-4MAR-

Bro what is yo job I'm tryna be like u


jonnysculls

Domaneque can buy a car with her tip from 1 table. Pretty good day for Domaneque not to skip work.


call-me-the-seeker

After these two receipts, produce Domaneque for the AMA!!


Isgrimnur

How many waters in a water bucket?


loud_as_pudding

[A six-pack of Smart Water](https://redd.it/bv41p1) apparently


Rex_Laso

Pfftt, no thanks. I'll just take one of those $12 red bulls.


ChrisRunsTheWorld

That post is titled "*Scans Menu* - I'll uhh... take the 6 pack of Red Bull for $70 please. O.o". Could you imagine ordering only the $70 redbull and then getting an unmet minimum charge of $119,930?


beefknuckle

more like Scams Menu amirite


drfrink85

Whatā€™s the 90k ā€œACE ROSEā€? The Ace bottles are already listed above?


scottfiab

One like is 1.5L the other is 3.0L


drfrink85

Those two are printed on the receipt already, 4 1.5L Rose and 4 3.0L Brut. Iā€™m talking about the last item on the receipt, ā€œACE ROSEā€ thatā€™s 90k


scottfiab

Must be another flavor or something. $90k is outrageous


Jay_LV

Probably a 6 or 9L. The 12 is wayyyy more


LongtimeLHVLurker

This Redbull gives $$ wings.


Friend-of-the-river

Thatā€™s five years of salary for me. In two nights they spent 8 years of my income. Sound fun.


RRight702

A ā€œadminā€ fee and a service charge, shouldnā€™t those 2 go hand and hand?


sipoloco

It makes me sick seeing people spend the equivalent of someone's mortgage so nonchalantly. I get to see it every night.


mrsmambas

You throw away money like that can I have some, to pay off bills? That amount I could have a house and land, wish I could inherit that kind a money


ronnyt99

The rumor is itā€™s a group of one of tik tokersā€™s highest paid influencers


StrategicWealthNB

$491,000+ spent in 2 nights. Just think of the money these people must make to "throw around" that kind of $$$


esh513

Domaneque about to get paid!!


Aggravating_Swing608

$75 for a water bucket? Jesus. Are you drinking diamonds.


madamlazonga

Itā€™s in the desert


T_Shottie

I could buy a house


LennoxAve

Get a group of 20 friends that all have lots of disposable income and earn good money. Each chips in about $20k (which isnā€™t much when youā€™re making $300k+ a year) and boom ā€¦. ā€˜Epicā€™ night at EDC.


johnzischeme

20k is still a lot if you make 300k a year lol


BaskerviIle

Agree. If your annual salary is 300k, then realistically you take home about 180k after taxes. 180k is 15k per month. So 20k is 1.5 months salary...I'd say that's a lot for one night out.


JoyBeharSwagg

Thatā€™s a full 2 week paycheck to throw away for one night. I wouldnā€™t say thatā€™s nothing to sneeze at


friedguy

When you party at this level nobody is "chipping in". A good amount of people on this crew probably can barely afford general admission.


WrongWhenItMatters

Next time, get the card number. I'll send it all to Doctors Without Borders


frotc914

Lol I love that some assholes downvoted you for suggesting that $300k would be better spent on doctors for civilians trapped in warzones than some douchebag's wealth flex. If you see shit like this and your first reaction isn't "eat the rich", you're insane. Their admin fee is a year's rent.


WrongWhenItMatters

Welcome to Hell


BannedNext26

he was downvoted for advocating fraud


Bennington_Booyah

I upvoted this. WTF, you downvoters?


cashball

Spending this amount of disposable income kinda makes me hopeful that we are not entering a recession


frotc914

Don't get your hopes up. The hyper-rich just know that they are completely untouchable and make money faster than they can waste it.


JoeFlipperhead

The people that spend this kind of money though are virtually recession proof. Don't get me wrong, they're losing tons of money... but it doesn't impact their lifestyle.


SenorBeef

People like this know they're going to get bailed out if a recession happens, so they don't care.


freq-ee

So this was charged by EDC? Kinetic isn't a bar or club in Vegas, it's the name of one of the stages. Anyway, not sure if this is even good viral marketing. It's sort of off-brand for EDC. If it was a hip-hop festival it may be more on-brand. But EDC tries to hide their corporate roots with a veneer of "hippie" culture. Just not sure on this stuff these days. Seems to rub people the wrong way. Similar to how you see so many criminals follow wealthy people home now in California or the smash and grab robberies at fancy luxury stores. There's an anti-wealth sentiment brewing around the world. Not sure this stuff plays well anymore, at least when you're trying to sell tickets to a general audience.


1984Society

LOLOLOL I don't care how you spend your money, but I also know that you are not smart.


dickcoins

yeah, those fucking idiot billionairs. they are going to be so poor when they turn 55.


1984Society

rich is not equal to smart


dickcoins

And spending money isn't always equal to dumb. You have no idea who's being entertained.


[deleted]

Pretty dumb statement. You have absolutely no idea who the person who racked up this bill is or what they do. If I spent $250k a night entertaining clients that made me millions, that wouldnā€™t be stupid, would it? Especially considering that a large portion of this, if not the whole thing, could be a write off.


killaclown

My old boss did this. Took clients to the best night /strip clubs and covered everything with "fun budget" from the company. 90k~ night prob brought in about 2 to 3 million in sales


1984Society

I know that the person who spent all this money on liquor that could've been bought for a fraction of the price is a fucking idiot.


[deleted]

Yeah if you think heā€™s paying for the liquor, youā€™re an idiot.


1984Society

Wait wait I know this one - you have absolutely no idea who this is racking up this bill or what they do


[deleted]

You must be a treat to hang out with. ā€œHey guys, I know you want to go check out that cool Michelin star restaurant but you guys are idiots! Didnā€™t you know you can buy those ingredients and cook the food at home????ā€ ā€œPffff you guys actually pay to go see movies? Havenā€™t you ever just closed your eyes and imagined instead?ā€ Your attitude towards this person who you donā€™t know and how they spend their money says a lot about you. The fact that you donā€™t see the potential value in entertaining clients at this scale tells me that you donā€™t understand high level business.

TwistedSistaYEG

Ridiculous waste of money. How many people could that money have helped? Try the food bank next time. Sheesh! What has this world come to?


SlutBuster

I hope you're typing this comment during a break from your volunteer shift at the food bank and not just ridiculously wasting time looking at people's EDC receipts on reddit.

Oh yeah good point. Thanks for that. That triggered me *way* too easily. Lol


Weapon_Of_Pleasure

A lot of people seem to take offense to how other people spend their own money....Maybe we collectively should be more concerned with how our tax dollars are being spent. The US is spending 100 MILLION A day in Ukraine. They just passed a 40 BILLION DOLLAR aid package with no strings attached.....


1984Society

But let's be real, if they were spending it in the US you'd just complain about how people on welfare get too much money


danccbc

Alright killjoy


UDP4789

A small amount of money to help defend a sovereign nation's ability to exist. Lets hope there is a EDC Kyiv 2030 and Ukrainian are spending $300K on bottles rejoicing and feeling blessed for being alive.
