This mansion in Livermore was renamed as The Shack in BFE! Went to the mansion for the NYE party 2012. False advertising– No transportation was provided for those who purchased tickets with the hotel package,(when we called the promoter we dealt with, his phone was off), massive balloon drop & confetti, it was seriously lacking, no free champagne or party favors and in most places you get this with free admission, the bars were not fully-stocked, they ran out of simple mixes, and the drinks were weak and outrageous($ 10 for well and $ 12 for premium(only patron and goose), food menu served all night(did not exist), heated cabana’s = one heat-lamp as the only other two that were available– burned out, fire pit = one log and again it was advertised as fire pit(s), the music also not good, random people were trying to dj after one of the speaker’s went out. It was so not worth it and everyone complained– that’s how I met so many awesome people. We bonded over the one heat lamp and complaining. The kicker is that no one was allowed to use the restrooms inside of the house, instead you had to go outside in portapoties or as many did — in the bushes somewhere. Plus in this whole giant mansion, only one single room was open to the guests. The girl who claimed to be the owner of the house acted like a child who was having a party without her parent’s permission and was freaking-out. This place and this party sucked. Totally not worth anything and the promoters should be ashamed for taking people’s money for this lame party. A mansion party should show class, have several rooms to party in with different dj’s, and of course allow for people to use the restrooms inside the house. We’re not dogs.
