Montreal VIP “FF” Offers a Whole New Way to Research The Best Montreal Establishments and Attractions

You can tell the bride and the other girls you’re leaving at home you want to come to Montreal for the culture, the fine dining, and the historic architecture. They might believe you, but we’re not buying it! We’ve gotten to know our clients pretty well over the years, and we’re well aware that most of them come for the legendary women. Truth be told, there are some places where the patrons, staff, and attendees are a little (or a lot) hotter than others. Until now, those in search of the most beautiful ladies in the city had to rely on recommendations from friends and pure luck. Montreal VIP “FF” rating has taken the guesswork out of your quest to find the best eye candy in sin cité.

What is an “FF” rating and how is it calculated?

“FF” is short for “female factor”. Our rating scale goes from 1 to 9, and we also have an unknown category for when we just don’t have the info we need to give an establishment a score. The female factor is a weighted average based on the ratio of women to men (which can enhance or decrease your odds of hooking up) and the beauty of the female staff.

What do these numbers really mean?

When you’re browsing our brand new Montreal guide for men, move your pointer over each “FF” category on the right of the page to get a description of each rating. An “FF” rating of 3 means hotties will be few and far between, while an 8 means they’ll be everywhere! Use this info any way you choose…we’ll never tell.

Montreal Nightlife Privileges With a Host

You’re excited about an upcoming Montreal bachelor party, but what if something goes wrong while you’re in the city? If you booked your bachelor party through Montreal VIP, it’s not something you have to worry about. All of our bachelor party groups have 24/7 access to a VIP host in the local area. You can call them if the penthouse was not quite what you expected, or if you want to make a last minute change to your itinerary for Saturday night.

Thanks to your host, you’ll also get to enjoy a number of VIP privileges. Just one of the VIP privileges you’ll receive is instant entry into the best nightlife establishments in Montreal. You’ll bypass any lines, and you’ll never pay a cover charge. Inside, your host will make sure you’re treated to any other VIP privileges you’re entitled to as well, which might include entry into restricted lounges and rooms, private shows for your eyes only, and bottle service.

Because your VIP host will personally escort you when you head out to experience Montreal’s nightlife, you can feel confident you will get exactly what you were promised at the time of booking. Your host will make sure you get all of the VIP privileges you are entitled to as a VIP guest, whether it’s bottle service or a VIP booth at the classiest strip club in town. And if something isn’t quite right, they’ll be right there to fix it. Think of them as Montreal VIP’s built-in quality control.

Montreal Bachelor Party Finances: Should You “Pay as You Go”?

At Montreal VIP, we’re pleased to offer our clients the ability to build comprehensive bachelor party packages that include every aspect of the group’s trip to Montreal: bottle service at the best Montreal nightclubs, access to VIP lounges at the hottest stripclubs, exciting daytime activities, and reservations at gourmet Montreal restaurants. But what if the final price tag is a lot higher than one or perhaps even all of the group members expected? To get everyone on board, you may want to pay as you go. Here’s how it works:

#1-Figure out the budget of the group: It’s time to have an honest conversation with all attendees. Ask each member how much they can spend on the Montreal bachelor party today. You don’t want to know how much they might have by the event…you need to find out how much they can plunk down right now. Those are the numbers you should use to create a budget.

#2-Create a basic package: Work with Montreal VIP to create a package that is within budget, even if you have to forgo the presidential suite or the five-star dining for the time being. Your most important goal is to get every one of the groom’s closest friends to Montreal.

#3-Purchase extras during the actual event: Once you actually get to Montreal, you can always add on those little extras if group members have the money to do so or one of the guys is feeling generous. Remember, with Montreal VIP no bachelor party itinerary is ever set in stone.

Montreal Bachelor Party Planning: Is it Okay for Some Group Members to Contribute More Than Others?

When you were kids, you all got the same $5 every week as an allowance. Now, Mike is a brain surgeon making six figures and Robert’s been out of work for six months. If both are attending a Montreal bachelor party, is it okay for Mike to chip in a little extra? Yes, but this can be a tricky situation. Always follow these important dos and don’ts:

Do…wait for the other person to bring it up: The absolute best case scenario is that members of your group who are better off financially will offer to pay for the suite, tickets to a game, or other extras without any prompting from you. If this doesn’t happen it’s okay to drop a few subtle hints.

Don’t…take advantage of a guy’s generosity: The last thing you want is for well-off members of your group to feel used. If someone has offered to pay for a gourmet meal for the group or pick up the tab for a private adult show, that’s more than enough. Don’t expect one person to cover the vast majority of the costs.

Do…split the basic costs: Everyone should contribute towards the basic costs associated with a Montreal bachelor party. If there are one or more members who aren’t able to pay anything, you can always plan a local bachelor party later on that includes them.
Don’t…make other people feel bad: There’s no need to constantly remind everyone who picked up the tab for what. Someone in your group did a nice thing for his buds…leave it at that.

The great news is that dollar for dollar, planning a bachelor party in Montreal will get you more bang for your buck when compared to other destinations.

Montreal Bachelor Party Finances: Splitting Bills

You’ve got a killer Montreal bachelor party planned. And while everyone contributed pretty much the same amount towards the basic package, you still haven’t decided how the bills incurred during your time in Montreal are going to be divvied up. Here are a few options and some considerations for each:

Option #1: Split all of the costs equally – Every time you go out to a restaurant, Montreal nightclub, or Montreal stripclub, everyone contributes an equal amount. This is usually a pretty fair approach, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, not every establishment may be willing or able to divide up your bill. If you pull out a calculator in a Montreal stripclub to figure out what everyone owes, you’ll look like a huge dork! Second, if someone’s always racking up a bigger portion of the bill than everyone else, it could create hard feelings.

Option #2: Have each group member pay for his own bills – Each guy pays his own way. This includes drinks, meals, activities, etc. This is a good approach if certain members might not participate in every aspect of the Montreal bachelor party. On the downside, it may prevent less well-off group members from taking part in some of the fun.

Option #3: Take turns picking up the tab – One guy pays for dinner, another pays for drinks, and another group member pays for jet boating. This is best for tight buds who aren’t going to get all worked up over a couple of bucks. Just make sure one group member isn’t consistently buying filet mignon while the others spring for Big Macs.

Canada F1 is Returning to Montrea!

For decades, the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal has been an annual event that race fans from all over look forward to. During this famous race weekend, attendees take in the high speed action at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve and the Montreal nightlife is at its best. Many people are so impressed with the calibre of the event and the city that they return year after year. In 2009, Formula One made the decision to pull the Canadian Grand Prix from its calendar. This highly disappointing announcement had high speed enthusiasts wondering whether the Montreal Grand Prix would ever return.

Thankfully, things are back to normal in 2010! The confirmed date for Montreal Grand Prix 2010 is June 13th. After a one-year hiatus, you can bet that demand for tickets will be stronger than ever and that they will sell out in a flash. Hotel rooms in the city are sure to be scarce as well as the big day draws closer. If you’re thinking about coming to Montreal to take in this legendary racing event, it’s important to act soon.

To make sure the Montreal Grand Prix is everything it should be for you and your traveling companions, consider a package from Montreal VIP. We’ll get you gold seats for the race so you don’t miss a second of the action during this epic three-day event and set you up in a centrally-located luxury Montreal hotel. Choose from three or four night ticket and hotel packages or go for THE Ultimate Grand Prix Package if you want to treat yourself to the best of everything.

Montreal Rated as the #2 Bachelor Party Destination by Ask Men

When guys want a company that truly understands bachelor parties, they turn to Montreal VIP. When they want unbiased advice from guys for guys, they turn to Ask Men. Recently, this recognized authority on all things male ranked the top 10 bachelor party destinations. While Las Vegas did edge out Montreal for the top spot, we’re thrilled to say that the sin city of the north placed second, beating Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Manhattan, New Orleans, and several other hot bachelor party destinations.

So, just what was it about Montreal that convinced our friends at Ask Men to give us the prestigious number two spot? Just a few of the highlights of Montreal mentioned in the article include the trendy bars, the numerous nightclubs and nightlife, the beautiful women that seem to be everywhere, and the world famous strip clubs (we told you they know what really matters to guys).

What the article didn’t mention was that Montreal is a big city, and there are plenty of Montreal strip clubs and nightclubs that aren’t so hot. That’s where Montreal VIP comes in. We’re the authority on the Montreal bachelor party, and we ensure all of our clients get VIP treatment at the best Montreal nightlife hotspots. We’re also the only company that can hook bachelor party groups up with options that could get you thrown in jail in other parts of the world. Yeah, they’re that racy. If the folks at Ask Men had traveled with us while they were compiling their rankings, we think there’s a good chance Montreal might have nudged out Vegas to claim the top spot. Maybe next time…

Signs you Picked the Wrong Montreal NightClub During a Montreal Bachelor Party

Montreal has hundreds of nightclubs, and some are better than others. If you’re doing some random club hopping during a Montreal bachelor party, there’s always a chance you might stumble into the wrong establishment. Here are some signs it might be time to move on:

#1 – There aren’t many women around, and there’s a sign advertising Madonna night: Are you in the Gay Village by any chance? Unless there are two grooms with your bachelor party group and they happen to be marrying each other, you might want to head to another night club.

#2 – Including the bartender and your group of eight, there are twelve people in the Montreal nightclub: There are nightclubs in Montreal that can accommodate hundreds, so there’s no reason to drink in a near empty bar.

#3 – A group of very large men wearing bandanas approaches your table. One of them says, “Wow, you boys sure did pick the wrong club.”: Leave…fast.

#4 – The women don’t have much fashion sense…or many teeth: Montreal is known for having some of the most beautiful women in the world, so you should be blown away the minute you walk into a nightclub in Montreal. If you’re feeling underwhelmed, you’re in the wrong place.

Avoid making a mistake on such an important event. Montreal VIP can help you make the most of your night out by getting you exclusive VIP status to the best Montreal nightclubs and telling you which ones you should avoid at all costs. Take advantage of our extensive knowledge of the Montreal nightlife scene by purchasing one of our customizable Montreal bachelor party packages.

Heading out for a night on the town during a corporate event can be tricky. Montreal strip clubs are almost definitely out, and more conservative staff members may not be up for a rowdy evening at a Montreal nightclub. Not to fear! There are many Montreal nightlife options that are ideal for corporate events. Here are just a few ideas for an enjoyable but not-too-wild night in the city:

• Comedy clubs: A great corporate event activity! Relax in one of the city’s renowned venues and enjoy an evening of laughter and a refreshing beverage or two. This is a Montreal nightlife activity that will appeal to everyone in the office…as long as they have a good sense of humor.

• Supper clubs: Head out in the evening to indulge in a late dinner in a trendy, upscale setting. You can leave right after you’ve finished a delectable meal or stick around for some drinks, conversation, and dancing.

• Bars and pubs: These laidback establishments are a vital part of Montreal nightlife. They’re also a suitable choice for corporate events because they offer a good middle ground between heading out to a Montreal nightclub and just staying in for the evening. Find a relaxed, not-too-crowded place, pull up a few chairs, listen to some great music, and take part in some friendly conversation.

• Jazz clubs: During a corporate event, consider heading downtown to spend an evening in one of Montreal’s jazz clubs. These are intimate, friendly settings that are perpetually filled with the soulful sounds of some of the area’s top musicians.

There’s no denying that America is a truly great country in many respects. When it comes to bachelor parties, though, having the best one possible means leaving the U.S. and heading to Canada…Montreal, Canada, to be exact. Here’s why:

You’ll benefit from Montreal’s laws, culture, and outlook: Montreal’s culture makes it an ideal location for a bachelor party, and there are few, if any, U.S. destinations that are quite so perfect in this regard. The legal drinking age here is just 18, strip clubs are an integral and accepted part of the downtown core, and many things that would be viewed as heinous in other places are seen as just fine in Montreal.

You’ll have a few days to really get away from it all: Even though Montreal is just a short flight from many major U.S. centers, you’ll get the feeling that you’re in another world. Vacationing outside of your home country always feels exotic, so the groom will finally get a chance to truly escape from the wedding planning and unwind.

You’ll get the chance to party and experience the VIP lifestyle: Montreal VIP is the luxury concierge service with almost a decade of experience planning and executing killer bachelor parties. To see exactly why this company’s services are so popular, you’ll have to come to Montreal. While here, you’ll be escorted out on the town by your personal host, who will do their utmost to help you experience the best of the city – its strip clubs, bars, restaurants, hotels, and racy private entertainment options.

Montreal VIP knows how to party. We’re the people behind New Years XS 2010, Montreal’s hottest New Years event. If you’ll be with us this year to enjoy the free-pour drinks, sounds and lights, circus performers, and body-painted models, you’re sure to have a night to remember. We’re about a lot more than just New Years XS, though.

On the other 364 days a year, we operate as a luxury concierge service that helps clients experience Montreal as true VIPs. So, if you’re heading to Montreal for New Years and will be away from the office for a few days over the holidays, there’s no reason to rush home. With Montreal VIP, you can extend your wild New Years Eve into a week of indulgence and excess.

We specialize in customization, which is the best way to make sure that our clients get exactly the trip they want. Choose from fine hotels, drinks, Montreal nightlife attractions, and Montreal activities. We can even help you find flights. Because we’re the VIP service, you’ll receive nothing but the best during your stay. That means reservations and the best tables at gourmet restaurants, instant access to night clubs and strip clubs with NO long lines or cover charges, adult options (including private shows, great for a bachelor party), preferred prices, and access to penthouses and presidential suites normally occupied by celebrities and sports stars.

You can build your dream winter getaway with our easy-to-use online booking engine or call us at 1-800-371-1224 to discuss any aspect of your trip.

Whatever your passion, whether it’s sassy girls, cool jazz, or pumping techno beats, the nightlife in Montreal will not disappoint. All you need is a plan, a few friends who are ready to hit the town, and an open-minded attitude. If you’re a client of Montreal VIP, you’ll probably also want to bring along your personal host. Hosted entry is the best way to experience Montreal’s nightlife, and here’s why:

No getting lost: Was that strip club up this road or down that street? Montreal is a big city, and it’s easy to lose your way. Every minute spent trying to locate an establishment is one you could have spent enjoying the Montreal nightlife. Our personal hosts are familiar with the city, and they will get you exactly where you want to go every time.

No waiting in line: Anyone who likes to go out will agree that line-ups suck! Montreal nightlife is some of the hottest in the world, but the city’s winters can be downright frosty. The last thing you want to do is spend hours waiting (and shivering) in line. Our hosts can whisk you to the front of the line and get you through the doors of the most exclusive Montreal nightlife hotspots. This is definitely one of the biggest perks of hosted entry!

No more wondering what’s behind that red curtain: Those champagne rooms and VIP lounges will be shrouded in secrecy no longer when you travel with one of Montreal VIP’s personal hosts. You’ll finally get to see what all the fuss is about.
