1. Read The Fine Print. Most of these passes are only valid until midnight or are for girls only. So if you get any passes, make sure you've got time to spare or you'll be wasting your time in line. (Also see #s 3 and 4.)

2. You Will Still Wait In Line. For a Loooong Time. Guess what? You're not the only person who's got a free pass. Those promoters give passes out to anyone and everyone. Thus the line is mobbed with people who have the same pass and it will take a long time to get in. And even though dudes will hardly ever get into a club with a "free" pass, they'll at least get you in for a reduced admission. (Again, see #4.)

3. Hot Girls Still Trump Free Passes. If you're a chick, make sure you and your girlfriends look hot. At some clubs where there's often a human traffic jam in front of the club, you can shove your way to the front and, once the bouncer sees your fine self and friends, he'll let you all in sooner than later.

4. Groups of Guys Need Not Apply. If you're a guy, unless you want to spend most of your night in line, go to the club with hot chicks. Period. It's key to be surrounded by hot chicks. Walk to the front of the line, get the nearest bouncer's attention, and lie about being on so-and-so's list (Chris? John? CJ? Make up a name). Either the bouncer will pretend you're on the list and let you in, no questions asked. Or after telling you you are not on said list, if you stay and pout a bit ("Really? He told me I was definitely on. Aww...where should we go now, girls?"), and you're girl friend (and you) are really hot, he'll most likely let you in "just this one time."

5. They're bad for the environment. In reality, those free passes don't do anything. Nada. Zilch. They create a huge line in front of the club full of club-going hopefuls thinking they'll get in for free without a guest list reservation. The best way to get yourself into the clubs is still by reserving a table or a spot on the list beforehand or by personally knowing the club hosts and bouncers.

Once people realize this, those passes are tossed all around the casino floor, and sometimes even outside on the sidewalk. Come on, people, the passes can be a joke, but don't litter!
