    Default Going to Mecca

    I paid the deposit on a studio apartment for 10 days in Henderson, near Vegas! I am driving up Sunday. I am very excited and I just wanted to tell everyone. Yay!!!

    Yesterday drove around town to get the documents. I tried to get the sheriff card referal from seamless, but they give it to you after you audition at 9 pm. The guy said he was pretty sure that the manager would let me stay after that without my card. So I went down the street to scores. They handed me the referal and I was off.
    I went to audition at scores around 8. They hired me for the 4-10 b/c I have no vegas experience and they have a lot of girls, its been slow, etc, etc.. So I said that I was going to go work at seamless b/c I have my makeup on and everything and they said I could work there whenever, but that I wanted to work at Scores. Then they were like, oh you can stay... you get what you want when you turn your huslte on!

    I was there 9 hours and was not happy with the amount of money I made. Last night I would have made more in Tucson (I made 405). My toes hurt real bad from all the standing around. The best part of last night was seeing the performances! I felt like I was at Cirq. Soliel!!

    I got got home at 6 and didn't sleep very well. If I do work tonight (My toes hurt!) it will probably be at Sin or Seamless if I can get there by 9.

    Dancer-floor host connection is very important at scores. I never got a vip. It is really easy to get discouraged at a place like that. I won't lie, I am discouraged. I really think if I go in there one more time and do not get a vip that I will feel like the smallest POS.

    Same old story...I come from my club in Tucson where know I am the shit to a place like Vegas.

    Also, I have never worked in club where the customer who buys the hour or half hour has to spend x amount on drinks. At scores 300 dollar half hour+200 dollar bar tab, 500 hour+300 dollar bar tab. 3 for 100 area+ 2 drinks.

    I didn't realize Vegas was all about drinking. I don't drink. There is even an area where the guy has to buy a bottle, then you can do half or hour. They want us to try to sell them cham. or wine and only if we sell those can we get off the rotation for stage.

    Is there any place where I can just dance???

    Vegas is hard your first time. You will do better, so don't get discouraged. The bar tab is good, IMO. In phx, the guy has to buy a $200+ bottle just to get up to VIP. With the bar tab, well, he'd spend that on drinks anyway. I would not work a 9 hour shift in Vegas. It's too stressful. I like work 5-6 hours max, Thurs - Sat, usually at Rhino, night shift if I'm alone, 3am if my friends are working that shift.

    Get some Tylenol PM. I have a hard time unwinding after working there, so I need something to knock me out.

    I'll hit you up when I get there. If you wanna go out for a night, you're more than welcome to come with us.

    The 3/$100 2-drink minimum is fine, I think, but a cumulative cost of $500/half $800/hour is just ridiculous. I mean, if that's their higher VIP level I can see it, but there has to be a more reasonable setup elsewhere. Vegas ladies, care to chime in with your club's setup? I seem to remember that Sapphire had 2 different levels of VIP and that instead of having to have the high bar tab there was also a $400/hr VIP with a much lower drink minimum. $300 is ridiculous. Add on expected host and waitress tips and the price creeps up to nearly $1K an hour with you only getting half of what he's spent.

    ^^ But I feel better now. I had some great food at a nearby raw cafe and I drank some very not raw coffee!! I am ready once again, going to sin, it is the sister club to scores. I will fill you in later.
    LR- I got some valarian root pills today. They do the trick for me.

    I quit Sapphire because their drink prices got out of hand.
    $11 for a beer on the floor, as much as 13-15 for a mixed drink
    Their 3/100 drink tab is $ 35
    Half hour is $200 for the girl, and I cant seem to remember the bar tab price. It used to be $50, but is it $75 now? $100? I cant remember. I want to say its some odd, wierd number, like 132. When they raised the prices, they made them all these wierd ass numbers. like 32, 132, 157,263. so now I cant remember exactly what things are.
    Hour VIp downstairs is 400 for the girl, 150 (200?) drink tab
    Hour upstairs( skybox) 500 for the girl, 250 for the drink tab.
    I assume the different level vip's your talking about is the difference between an hour in the regular vip room, and an hour in the skybox upstairs.

    These prices may not have lasted, as they got so rediculous, so they may not be accurate anymore, as I said, when they got so high, I stopped going there. I havent been there in maybe 3 months now, so my pirce quote may no longer be accurate.

    Sin on a tuesday?

    Good luck with that. Sin is a very, very slow club.
    I've worked there, I like it, but it is slow. even weekends can be a struggle.
    And their Dj's are the biggest asses I have ever met in my life. I really dislike the dj's there.

    Oh now that is fucking ridiculous. I have not ever heard of a club yanking a dancer out of VIP for a stage set. I would think the fact that you just made them at minimum $300 would let them give you a rest for an hour.

    ^^ I've never heard of this either. I've worked at scores. Ive gotten VIP's, Ive never been pulled out of the vip for a stage set. You get skipped, and put back in the rotation once you are out. If the guy is payin you for an hour of your time, he gets you for that hour. your removed from the stage rotation during VIP's

    The drink minimums have been raised since you were there.

    Sin was so depressing, I had to leave. I am going in for my 4 pm shift at scores tomorrow. Maybe I will audition at Sapphire before I go. This sucks so far.

    The gold's gym in Henderson if my favorite place so far. I'll keep you posted.

    I've never worked anywhere in Vegas where you had to go onstage if you were in VIP. If I were you, I'd take Weds off and save my energy for the weekend. Good luck!!

    Yesterday I only worked from 4-10 @scores. I had 1 good customer. Left with 400. I have broken even, but not by much.

    Tonight SR or Sapphire?? I am heading to SR soon. If they let me stay I will be happy.

    I like how you keep updating this. Maybe it was a bad week to go to Vegas.

    Wow. I am just not making as much as I make at home.

    Last night I worked 13 hour. One shift at scores, then one shift at SR.

    Two really good things happened last night.

    #1 At sorces a customer's friend was giving me some trouble. I walked away, looked around, and there was my DJ!!! My home dj was a customer with his friends. He is my buddie. I always bring him snacks and tip him (not everyone does). We hung out, he even got a dance.
    #2 When I was in line at 2:30 am to check in for the 3 am shift at SR, who do you think is behind me in line??? Kikiwiki!!!

    Dude! You are working some long ass hours. I don't know how you can handle that, esp in Vegas. I like to work for 5 hours, make as much as I can in those hours, and call it a night.

    Unfortunately my plans to hop up there got put off til next weekend, so I don't think I'll see you unless you stay.

    Was SR good/busy??

    Rose...It was pretty busy...I did well..heading back there tonight
