Inside A Hot Spot
How much should I expect to spend at a special event at a hot spot?
Generally, you don't have to spend any money at red carpet or large special events. You normally don't have to, and the only thing you'll have to pay for is parking. Everything else will be free, from the drinks, because there is usually an open bar, to the food. It is all free. All the very good special events and red carpet events are all free. You don't pay a dime. It's awesome.
Do I have to know the host to be invited to a party at a club or bar?
No, you don't need to know the host in order to be invited to an event or club. Let's just say your friend was invited and you weren't, they are pretty much always allowed to bring a guest. The guest would be you, and once you are there you can ask your friend to introduce you to the host. You can then get to know the host and exchange information, and then you will be on their list forever.

You could always ask anyone in the room that you would like to dance or talk to. It just depends on how many drinks you have that night. No! It just depends on you.

A lot of them are very private and you need to respect their privacy. Also, they will probably, some of them have security guards around them and they might get physical with you if you try to bother them.
Will sending someone a drink make me look cool or desperate?
Sending someone a drink is always a cute touch. You always see that in movies, "Oh, the guy on the corner sent you over this drink." I think it's cute. Whether you're a girl or a guy, you can't help but be flattered that someone bought you a drink. I think it's cute.
What if I end up standing alone and have no one to talk to?
If you are standing alone and have no one to talk to, go to the bar. Go. There's always people that are waiting in line for a drink. A great place to strike up a conversation is at the bar, because you have a lot of people there, especially if you're by yourself because there's a lot of singles there. You can actually strike up a conversation with the bartender and hangout with him or her.
What is the one thing I could do that will make me look out of place at a hot club or bar?
Any way to make you stand out in a negative manner in a hot club or bar would probably be yelling. No one likes it when you're yelling and there's no reason for you to be shouting. This is an intimate environment where there's music and great people. There's no reason to raise your voice. Also, if you're just dancing like a maniac, that's going to draw very bad attention to you as well. That's about it. Those two.
