I get it in many cases...most newer/trendy clubs don't give you ANYWHERE to sit unless you're buying a bottle, and I know women hate having to stand in heels all night. Also, a good way to celebrate a birthday, Wedding, promotion, etc etc.

But they're really using 80% of the space for tables, so there's no dance floor. It used to be more exclusive, something that you stood out for having...now, you almost need bottles just to enter these clubs, and you only stand out when you spend the $20,000 to get Jesus and Whitney Houston to come down and bring you those ten Ace of Spades bottles.
