HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
This is my first time traveling out of state to dance and I thought Vegas would be a great place to work and play. I did my research on various clubs and planned a trip to be out here for a week. So far I'm having terrible luck. Yesterday I got my sheriff's card and called the clubs I want to work at. They all tell me to come in after 9 pm or so. I tried at 3 different clubs last night and got rejected at all of them.
I think I am fairly good looking, by no means gorgeous, but guys tell me it a lot and have attracted some really handsome guys as well. I'm often asked if I do modeling. I am tall 5'10" and very lean. I lack breasts and booty but am not flat (34b)-27-36. I'm black which I know can hinder you when getting hired at certain clubs and I don't have a typical stripper look, but I feel I don't look girl next door either. I have no tattoo or major piercings either.
So here's what happened:
CH3 told me they weren't hiring for 6 months (which I think is BS)
Treasures had me wear a 2 piece and turn around and said they didn't have anything for me. About 4 other girls were also auditioning that night. I saw 3 of them get hired (2 were black so racial discrimination couldn't be the issue)
Sapphire also told me they weren't hiring (also calling BS on that)
I got really discouraged and gave up after that. I had even already lined up a guy to come visit me where ever I ended up working that night, but now my confidence is broken. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I made sure my hair makuep and nails were well done and spent good money to ensure it. I even wore hazel contacts to help me look more exotic. I'm also in good shape and a good dancer. I really need to get working and have already lost 2 work days. (I flew in on veterans day and couldn't get my work card made). I have to try again tonight, but really don't know where I should try. Any club suggestions would be appreciated or if someone has any tips to help me get in at CH3 or Sapphires, that would be great. I really have to make money this week.
Here's a pic of me, not from last night though

Sorry to hear this happened to you. I think you look pretty. Try Spearmint Rhino or Olympic Garden next. Keep trying you'll get hired somewhere.
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
I've never worked in Vegas, but maybe try auditioning at the next club(s) without the contacts? Fake hair, tits, ass, etc tend to go over well with managers, but fake eyes usually don't.
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
Clubs in Vegas are very picky. I don't think contacts matter at all. But I dont think they will make youmlook more "exotic" when you obviously appear black. Just keep trying more clubs.
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
^Yeah, I'm not gonna do the contacts tonight. They certainly didn't help.

Thanks, I think I'll try both of those and jaguars. When I call the clubs the keep saying to come after late, but is that really the best time to audition. For Rhinos, I would like to be on the 230 am shift. Does that mean I should I go in at that time?
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
Seriously can't see why you weren't hired anywhere. Maybe toss those furry boot covers and try an earlier shift? You look great. Try Sapphire again and SR definitely.

Thank you. The pic isn't what I wore last night, just a pic from a couple months ago doing gogo dancing so that's why I've got furry boot covers lol
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
So I just auditioned at Spearmint Rhinos and got hired for the 1pm and 230am shift;D I'm super happy and excited. I was initially avoiding this club because I didn't think I had the slightest chance to get put on any shift there. It's a bit ironic that other clubs didn't want me but oh well. I'm still really intimidated by this place, but the girls seemed nice at least. I think I'm going to take a nap and start tonight!!!
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
Good luck at SR girl, everything happens for a reason!! Your talent was being saved for a better club!
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
YAY! Let us know how it goes.
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
YES! I'm so glad you got hired!
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
Very happy that got in. Especially as a black woman I know it is harder. You look great and I those other clubs were stupid to not hire you. How was you first couple of nights?
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
I'm curious to know how you're doing. Hopefully you're too busy making that $$$ to reply.

Go to rhino for that shift time (2:30) or offer to work day shift and pay to stay till midnight, you'll get hired.
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
Are they still pretty strict when hiring for the late shifts??
Re: HELP! In Vegas for a week and can't get hired!!!
Fantastic ending to the story! Perseverance rocks! It goes to show at some clubs you can be on the ball and get turned away anyway. It sucks. Personally I wouldn't bother with Sapphire until you have a friend who can walk you in. They are notoriously racist and will have a handful of black women on shift like 297 white women to 3 black women.
