Your most expensive experiences?

Got hammered this weekend and ended up spending close to $700 in a night this weekend. for someone for whom anything around $150 had been max before the weekend, Im still smarting from this.

had a few friends from college over and esp this girl and was planning to go upto $250. but blacked out went to an expensive club, got bottle service and don't remember anything else.

just checked my bank account and found this out. pretty stupid of me to not do this on Sunday only. only consolation is from the group everyone earning a decent income spent a lot too but even then a few hundred bucks lower.

anyways what have been your most expensive nights been like

$1500, my share of bottles in a single night. This does not include 5-6 hotel rooms, champagne bottles, and other shit I forgot about during my 2 hour memory blackout. It was in 3rd year. This was later inadvertently sponsored by 3 BB banks as part of a networking event thanks to the most awesomely gifted accountant I ever met.

Don't fall for bullshit, especially your own.
 

Only on this fucking site would a thread actually be titled like this.

Once dodged a combined 5 figure nightclub bill...if that counts.

In terms of damage to my soul? A week-long bachelor's party in Macau.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
 

That must have been an absolute battle. OP - if we are looking at it relatively...probably losing $60 on a carnival game when I was like 13 - fucker scammed me. I got too drunk at a casino earlier this year and lost $1600 which wasn't fun. I am a recent grad so it is a good chunk of money to me.

 

Spearmint Rhino Vegas - $8,700. Shame I can't remember that entire night, but alas, it's Vegas.

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
 

End of September 08 around two or three of the traders took out three or four rookies to the galway hooker and we somehow spent close to 800 bucks on stoli o bombs and happy hour drinks

Happy hour - 4 each. Do math

We also went to Vegas for trader bachelor party with 15 of us and the two strippers we hired apparently were hookers who took off the bachelors belt and whipped him with it like some crazy bdsm show while all of us were in the suite at the encore

Either we were at the same bachelor party (although this was in 03) or we had the same hooker/strippers. Same thing: thought we hired strippers, they took off his belt and whipped him, and not in a playful way, the next day he had welts, and then they ended up being full on hookers. And not the hot stripper where someone offers her a ton of money and she simply turns out being a whore with a high price but after they whipped him, it was simply $X for Y.

Lmao yeah sounds like ours. One had a horrible boob job

 

It's Vegas. Every stripper is a hooker. Even if they say they aren't, they are.

Child's play.

I spent $8k on a table at 1Oak 4 months ago. Needless to say, I got laid.

You could've gotten laid for $7950 less at any other bar in NYC.
 

Went to Vegas for a week long bachelor party, between everyone who went. We easily spent over 100k between the 15 of us. I personally spent close to 20k that week. Not so bad when its all said and done.

2.5 days in the ICU: $13k.

The irony of the handle you chose and this post is high.

Spent close $6k in 2 days in Vegas with a group of like 7 people.

But my best times come when I hang out with or meet the right people and they get comped for every we go and nobody spends anything basically, I have stories from those nights that I will tell my grandsons about.
