I have a few stories to tell about this, but I'd get killed over it.
Not worth it.

Of course. It's a "juice job" of all "juice jobs". You think
management is going to let them keep all that dough? It's like that
pretty much everywhere.

I don't. They know the deal.

Party doesn't start until at least 2a anyway.

Depends on who you are. If you're Chris Ferguson or Mike Matusow (both
friends of Paladin), they're getting table+bottle(
can say they're patrons. If you're some middle aged guy with a lot of
dough who really doesn't "fit in", it's going to be $1K-$1500 minimum,
depending on your status. A Seven Stars card will help with the
minimum, but HET has no part of Pure. There's a reason there's like
four separate lines there.
I was talking with my host at Caesars, the stunning Nadeen Hughes ( a
great host as well), one evening when this Indian gentleman walked in,
who was dressed for a golf outing, Diamond card in hand, and wanted
Nadeen to walk him into Pure. Nadeen handled it very well, much better
than I could, but we both had an "as if" chuckle afterwards.
Basically, many of the doormen know me from their jobs at other
nightclubs, so it's like a $20 and telling them I'm solo and not
planning on staying long. But to tell the truth, Pure makes no sense
unless you've got people and Benjamins with you. Preferably smoking
hot young women. Lots of Benajmins, as well. The latter mixes well
with the former.

There are a lot of kids with way too much money and way too much free
time (mostly from SoCal). That's what Vegas is for. I thought you
figured that one out a long time ago.
Oh yeah, if you made it this far, I believe the $2 and $5 denoms are
gone at GVR but the $1 denom remains. Three machines. I could be
wrong, I just gave it a once over. Gotta stay on topic, you know.
