    Default Doorgirls/hostesses UNITE!!!!

    I am sorry if this would be considered double posting but I did not get any replies in the club chat section. I am intrested in working as a doorgirl/hostess and I am curious if anyone has any experience and can offer me some insight.

    I have been looking into working in a stripclub as anything BUT a stripper. I need a change of pace and have come across a few interesting ads on craigslist, regarding Hostessing at SAPPHIRE Las Vegas. http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/fbh/2774949631.html

    Just curious if anyone has been a doorgirl/hostess in a club. What would the TIPS be like being a doorgirl? I am sure there is much more to the positon then collecting cover charge lol...do tell!!

    Speaking from experience:

    Door girls don't get tipped as much as the dancers. Most guys don't even know to tip door girls, even when a tip jar is out.

    You will also have almost every single guy who comes in want to argue with you about the cover charge. I finally handled it one of two ways: "I have the keys to the naked ladies" or, as my manager once told a group of especially rude guys "If you want to see the p***y, you gotta pay the dick at the door." And it's either the earlier in the night it is or the closer to closing time when you will get the most arguments.

    But, on the plus side, you will get a steady paycheck

    Don't know if that's how it will be in LV, but that's how it's been here in the Carolinas.

    You sure as hell will not make as much as dancers, I can tell you that. Try waitressing at a restaurant.

    I know the income will not be comparable to a dancers, but like Anastasia said there will be a steady paycheck, and an opportunity to make tips.

    I am sure there will be lots of drama from dancers and customers alike, but I can handle it. Id rather get bitched at by a customer over cover charge, then have to deal with the same cheap guy who cant even pay cover charge as a dancer.

    But, this is Vegas, people come here to spend money, so who knows. Just looking for some insight and would love to hear the experiences of other doorgirls. PS sorry for posting in wrong section, at least I got some replies

    In my experience door/coat-check girls do menial stuff. Hostesses are much higher up the ladder in terms of responsibility. The few female hostesses I have encountered have a lot of experience in terms of either stripping or nightlife-industry related professions.

    As far as coat check goes I would say that roughly 3/5ths of customers tip. Depending on how busy the club is that can be a sizable amount of $ for doing very little work.

    I worked as a door girl for one year. My experience is unusual than most being that I worked in Atlanta where the club climate is much different than other places. In ATL a door girl job is actually considered a good job and can be very difficult to find. Some ladies keep those jobs for what seems like forever!

    There was no uniform, just dress to impress. Most nights I wore fitted jeans and heels and a cute job. Full makeup. I wasn't behind any glass or a booth like some clubs. It looked more like a hostess station which was great because I felt like I could interact more with the customers (which also helped my tips as well!). A security guard stood nearby because I handled A LOT of cash.

    My club had a ton of ballers, athletes, drug dealers every night and most let me keep their change. I guess they didn't want to look cheap for asking for it back. I was paid a pretty generous flat fee every night and I wasn't required to tip anyone out. My security guy never accepted a dime.

    All in all it was a good experience. It was the most money I ever made fully clothed and I got to meet some decent people. I've since moved away and looked at the door girl ads in my new city. I was shocked to see how low the pay was. Now I realize how lucky I was.

    My advice to you is to put as much effort into your look as though you are dancing. In most cases you will be the first woman the custies will see before they enter the club so you want to look your best.

    I don't think dancers give door girls any drama. Did you give the door girls shit when you were a stripper?

    I don't know why but I find this hilarious^!
    Anyway, that ATL gig sounds FAB! In my area, we don't have door girls, I think there's one club that has.

    No door girls! That's practically unheard of in Atlanta. They make a ton of money from the door fees. In some of the best clubs on promotional nights it's $60 and up to get through the door, not to mention $10 for parking!

    RIGHT?!? ATL here I come, I can only imagine. There are real BALLERS and the like in Vegas, but many people here are JUST PRETENDING. They come for the weekend and can be anything they want to be. NOTE TO SELF: IF ANY SELF PROCLAIMED "BALLER" COMPLAINS ABOUT COVER CHARGE: DO NOT EXPECT A TIP!! LOL.

    I forgot to ask, if anyone has worked as a doorgirl in LAS VEGAS: were you an independent contractor, or were you an employee of the club?

    Anddd nooo I never gave doorgirls Shite buttt in a specific club in Vegas cough treasures cough doorgirl must also check in dancers (at least several years ago) and there was always dancer drama going on LOL!

    HOWEVER I do remember tipping out cashiers at clubs here whenever I would have to cash in the in house "funny money" so that is a plus.
