And if I have 2 friends that are under.. think they will over look a fake if were in a BIG group or a VIP group?

They will let you in at midnight. I took a friend of mine there on his 21st. Our flight left the airport at 10pm eastern time (the time zone we live in). We got into Vegas about 10:30 local time. We got to our hotel, unpacked, went to the casino. At the cashiers cage, they refused to cash his traveler's check because it was 11:50pm local time. Even though on the flight there the flight attendants gave him a free drink for his birthday, he was not old enough in Vegas with the time change. They told him to come back in 10 minutes.
I know casinos are different than clubs, but the rules about being of age are the same.
As far as your friends with their fake IDs, I was once in Vegas with a large group where everybody got into a club (the old Ra), except for that one guy who was 20 years old but had a fake ID. The people at the door spotted it and would't let him in. Even though it was a big group, we all got carded.
Many club owners will actaully pay their doormen bonuses for every fake ID they confiscate. It still is a lot cheaper than paying fines for serving underage people who got in with fake IDs. Many doormen are on the lookout for fake IDs. And they probably know when a big group of young people come in, that there will be at least a few.

In the order asked:
Probably not, and ABSOLUTELY NOT.
They *might* take mercy on you if you're hours away from being 21, but they probably won't. They absolutely will NOT over look a fake id for anyone either, big group or VIP group or not.
If they get caught allowing underage people into an establishment that serves alcohol, the bar is looking at huge fines and possible loss of their license. A liquor license is expensive to maintain (In NY, it's $15K a year) and carry hefty penalites for misuse, and it costs a lot to get it back when you lose it. Since liquor sales are a VERY lucrative business in Las Vegas, I know of VERY few places that would put that kind of revenue on the line to entertain a couple of kids.

I'm from Philadelphia and was wondering the same thing, almost. I am going to Las Vegas on my 21st birthday with mostly people who are 21, one of my friends, who probably wont end up coming has a good fake with a back up fake that insures his identity. How hard is vegas on fake's? Same as any other major city or much harder?

YOU, YES most definitely! But your 2 under friends, I dont think so unless you tip the doorman very generously...

friday at midnight you will be twenty one so why wont they let you in, you'll be legal, besides you only have to be eighteen to gamble...........and the fake id's, depends on how and what they use to verify them if you will get caught or not........
