The Beginning

Crown Nightclub in Rio hotel was the first place I promoted.  The club was kinda cool, had a big dancefloor and the VIP tables are set up around it in a circle.  I got paid commission on how many passes got returned or if I made a guestlist, there were bonuses if I were to hit certain numbers as well.  I went out during the day and tried to get a guestlist and came back to the Rio at night to hand out passes to get ppl in for free.  Somehow only a couple passes ever got returned each night which means I didn't make money, so I quit.

A friend I met while interviewing at Crown turned me on to King Ink in the Mirage hotel.  King Ink was a tattoo parlor during the day and at night they transform it into a nightclub/lounge.  I worked at night and handed out wristbands for people to get into the club for $10 and get an open bar.  I got paid between $3-$5 per person that went to King Ink with my wristband on.  There was potential to make good money at this job, but I wanted to work somewhere more popular and get paid hourly.

I quit King Ink to work at Haze nightclub inside the Aria hotel/casino.  I was employed by The Lightgroup which did promotions for Haze, Jet, Gold Lounge, Liquid Pool, Bare Pool.  My job was to put together a guestlist during the day and hand out passes then at night I was to meet my groups and make sure they checked in correctly. I got paid minimum wage hourly and there was bonus pay if I hit a certain number of girls checking in on my guestlist plus passes.  Working for the Lightgroup was very tiresome because I was out all day then had to be back at night, then they sent us to other clubs after work to get a prelist for the next day.  Also, we had to do stuff on our days off like go to meetings or drop off passes at businesses.  I quit working at Haze.

At the moment I work promoting for XS and Tryst nightclubs inside Encore and Wynn hotels.  I love my job.  And these are two of the hottest nightclubs in Las Vegas!
