Jello shots. Damn, That's what we do. We prop the door open, hang out in the hallway. Offer Jello shots. Put some whipped cream on someone's nipples. Next thing you know you have a 6 person orgy :)
Next take-over for us will be ShareNation for St Patrick's Day in RI.
Wow. I’m kinda surprised by the last two posts. Maybe we just got lucky with the one hotel takeover that we attended where it’s seemed like we couldn’t walk 20 feet without someone reaching out to say hello, or to offer a Jell-O shot.
I get pretty much ignored also. A four guys emailed me and said they were coming. Three did show up. One was a rude asshole and the other disappear. I spent time with one. Other than that nobody talk to me. Next year I will go with my husband and have more fun.
Our Takeover was about what we thought it may be. MANY couples who booked with others they already knew. While we did manage to meet a few new couples, but it was almost like being at any other NYE event with the exception of the nakedness. We were not impressed and will think twice before we go to another one there.
I'm going to a hotel party for New years Eve in Pittsburgh. First time to one. I'm go with two other single girl. I think it will be big fun.
We have found that it helps to look through the attendee list and identify the couples who look interesting to you. Send them a brief e-mail that says something like "We were looking through the list of attendee and came across your profile. We'd love to meet and share a drink. Looking forward to meeting you."
The first hotel takeover we went to, there were couples roaming the hallways looking for other people by their SLS names as they had made some pre-arrangement to meet. People put little signs on their doors with their SLS names so they could be easily found. Made it easier to have some people to look for, rather than starting from a hotel full of people you don't know.
In our case we weren't after the hottest couple/s. We consider ourselves average and were just looking for the same. There just weren't that many open doors anywhere and almost all of the ones that were had people just hanging around drinking and talking.
It wasn't for turning in too early either. We were up till 3 am and 4 am on the Fri and Sat nights we stayed. It did seem that the vast majority of the people that went were there more to party and be seen than to play. Every party can have an off night/crowd. I'm certainly not ruling out trying another one but definitely not high on our to do list considering the local options we have.
One suggestion was to just stay put and prop your own door open and bring some porn to play in the room. We were there with friends so we should have just started playing on our own with the door open and see what that attracted because looking for the party definitely didn't work for us the time we went.
We have found that if we spend all night chasing down the hottest couple in the crowd we often times strike out all night and miss opportunities with other couples that we would enjoy.
The amount of play you have is directly dependent on how aggressive you are going after it. Also it seems to be affected by how high you set your sights.
Thank you all. From the guest list, many of the couples are local to us or local to the resort which is not that far to begin with, so we are hoping to meet some couples within a reasonable distance to keep seeing if there is a connection or interest. Otherwise we are simply going for the NYE party, and some pool time. Again Thank you all, we head out first thing in the morning. I will get back on after the new year and let everyone know how it went.
We only have one experience with this, but more people did not equal more play time. We went in search of the "play parties" both Fri and Sat nights and didn't really find much. We went to the public room and everyone pretty much kept to themselves. YMMV.
If you like to just plain party (drink, dance, play mixer-type games, socialize) then you'll likely have a blast. The advice about getting a room away from the party is a good one if you plan to retire by 1 am or earlier, There may be rooms (like in our case) where people were up till after 3 am. Wouldn't have been so bad if it was more than just loud talking.
If you're going there to play then you may or may not be disappointed. We have been to LS parties where we got to play more in 3 hours then we did all weekend at the hotel takeover we went to. Also, we didn't find out until after we signed up that there was a "membership fee" on top of the price of the tickets and the hotel. All in all it was a $500 weekend.
A lot of how you feel about this may depend on the LS options in your area. We have many close by, so it just felt like the hotel takeover was not worth the time and money, at least to us. If not for having gone with friends the Mrs wouldn't have played at all.
It was great to go to at least one and check it out and we may give it another go at some point, but based on our first experience we're in no hurry to do again.
While I'm a big fan of getting out there and meeting people, it doesn't help much if they wind up living 4-5 hours away, which is also what happene in our case. Again, YMMV.
We've been to many of these. Just try for a room away from the party. Many times the partying goes till 3-4 am and if you're an early nighter like us by 1 your ready for a little quiet.
We went to our first hotel takeover this past Halloween. It was a blast. And yes, we drank way more than was prudent. We had no idea that everywhere we went, people would be offering us booze. Jell-O shots, tequila shots, horrible tasting unnamed shots. By 11:30 we were passed out in our room; didn’t wake up ‘til the maids came knocking the next morning
Or, get a room as far away as possible from the center of activities
Depending on the party, it will be pretty much like going to a club. The major difference is that people are going to get blitzed because they don’t have to go home.
If you are able, get a second hotel nearby so you can retire there to sleep.
We have enjoyed many evenings out, met some really nice couples, and had some fun, but for New Years we are attending our first Hotel Takeover. We are approaching this much like we have every other adventure we have had with no expectations. The hotel is sold out, and the guest list has gotten very big. Just not really sure what we should expect, other than a hotel full of like minded couples. Oh well we are ready for whatever, Toys, lube and her sexy clothes are packed ready for a week of fun.
