Coyote Ugly Saloon Guest List

Signing up for the guest list at Coyote Ugly Saloonis the first step. Getting the rest right is what separates a great night from a frustrating one. Here's what to know before you go.

When to Sign Up

Guest list spots at Coyote Ugly Saloonare available on a first-come, first-served basis. For Friday and Saturday nights — the two busiest nights of the week on the Strip — sign up at least 48 hours in advance. For slower nights (Monday through Thursday), same-day signups are usually fine, but confirming early removes any uncertainty. Holiday weekends and special events fill faster; if you're visiting during EDC, Memorial Day, Labor Day, or New Year's Eve, treat the guest list like a dinner reservation — book it as soon as you know your dates.

When to Arrive

Guest list entry windows are real deadlines. Coyote Ugly Saloon typically cuts off complimentary guest list entry at the times listed in the rules above. After that window closes, you're paying cover — regardless of whether you signed up in advance. Arriving by 11:30 PM is the safe play for weekend nights. If your group is running late, call or text ahead; promoters sometimes hold spots for groups that communicate early.

Fridays tend to fill faster than Saturdays because the tourist-to-local ratio skews higher — more first-timers who arrive early. Saturdays stay busy longer, but the door is also more selective as the night progresses. Thursday nights at Coyote Ugly Saloon are frequently the best value: guest list entry is easy, the crowd is younger, and you avoid the Sunday-flight pressure that quiets Saturdays by 2 AM.

What to Bring

Your name on the guest list is confirmed, but the door staff still needs to verify it. Bring a government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport) for every person in your group. Age verification is strict at all Las Vegas nightclubs — no exceptions. You do not need a printed confirmation; your name in the system is sufficient, but having the confirmation email accessible on your phone removes any ambiguity if there's a question at the door.

Group Coordination

Register your group under a single name — whoever is most likely to arrive first and speak to the door staff. Don't split a group of six across three separate guest list submissions; it creates confusion at the door and can result in some members getting waved through while others are held. One registration, one point of contact, one person who leads the group to the VIP guest list line. The rest of the group arrives together or waits outside until the registered person has checked in.

If your group has a mix of people arriving from different locations (hotel pickup vs. meeting at the venue), communicate the plan before you leave. The guest list door at Coyote Ugly Saloon is not a waiting area — you check in as a group, not individually.

The difference between a smooth arrival and a stressful one at Coyote Ugly Saloonis usually preparation. Here's exactly what happens when you show up.

Getting Home

Plan your exit before you need it. Rideshare to New York-New York Hotel & Casino, 3790 S Las Vegas Blvd. Coyote Ugly is on the Mezzanine Level — take the escalator from the casino floor level.

New York-New York self-parking garage (access via Las Vegas Blvd or Frank Sinatra Dr). Valet at the main hotel entrance.

Las Vegas nightclubs close at 4 AM (some extend to 6 AM on weekends). The last hour tends to get louder and more crowded — the remaining crowd is the committed crowd. If you're ready to leave before closing, going between 1:30–2:30 AM catches the lightest rideshare demand before the post-close surge.
