I have been to Besos!  We actually did not eat dinner there, but stopped there for a drink pretty much every night since we were staying in city center and Beso always had open lounge seating.  It definitely has more of a lounge/club feel to it, IMO, but a lot of restaurants in Vegas (lavo, tao for example) have that feel.  Beso is definitely a little bit dressier and younger too.

I have never been, but I live in LA and it was here first and everyone I have ever talked to really loves it. Its actually Eva Longoria's restaurant.

I think I was quoted $8200 for a 3 hr dinner and dancing reception at beso and the night club. a little out of my price range for 3 hrs imho

How many people and what kind of menu though?  If it's for 82 people, that's only $100/head.  Did it include booze?

esdjco86

it was $5400 as the food guarantee and $1200 for av plus taxes and gratuities w/o alcohol

Hmmmm, our guarantee is $5615 for our room, but we can spend that any way we want (food and booze) plus we get the room for 5 hours.  What AV would they charge you for?  For the DJ?  That's not cool. 

esdjco86

if yours is for 5 hours then its not worth it. the quote is only for 3 hours

What's not worth it?  I was simply comparing my minimum ($5615) to the aforementioned minimum of $5400 for 3 hours.  I'm having my reception at the Golden Nugget and I get the ballroom for 5 hours as long as I meet the F&B min of $5615.  However, I don't have any "AV" costs so I was wondering what that was for.  My DJ brings his own equipment.

$5400 is not really bad for a higher end restaurant.  It would be pretty easy to spend that assuming $100 per person and having a guest list of 54.

im saying yours is longer it wouldnt be worth to switch for the 3 hours is what i meant
