Club Promoters / The Free VIP Upgrade
You are feeling like a pro at this Vegas thing and you and your bros are ready to take it to the next level and hit the legendary Vegas nightclubs. But where do you start?
Lucky for you just at that moment you see an attractive guy / girl in a night club tee-shirt ahead. They are a Club Promoter for the hottest club on the strip. Its your lucky day as they are handing out exclusive VIP packages free of charge just this once. Not to everyone though, just to you, because they like you, and you look like you can party. You know this because they told you this and judging by the official looking credentials around their neck they are legit!
They give you a fancy looking voucher and wrist band. They tell you will be on the VIP list when you arrive and that they “Got You Bro! Don’t Worry.” Then they will hit you up for a tip for “having your back” and taking care of you. You know nothing big “a 20 will do.” Before you know it you are gladly paying up. You are a VIP now after all and 20 bucks is a small price to pay to get into the club and beside there is an open bar so you will make back the $20 with your first free drink.
Then you and your Bros arrive and walk up to the VIP Entrance and show then your wrist band expecting the bouncer to greet you by name, open the doors to the club, and hand you a bottle of booze to get you started. Instead you are told you are on the guest list and to go to the guest list line over there as he points to a snaking mile long line of wrist band wearing VIP’S just like you.
You notice its 11:35 and you remember the open bar stops at midnight so you rush up to order a drink only to discover that the line to get a drink is 40 people deep and you can only order one drink at a time which translates to you never getting a free drink.
Bottom line nothing is ever really free in Vegas and if you are really a VIP you are not going to need a VIP pass to prove it.

On this trip and you're like dang, we were just thinking, we're gonna, go to a club, there's a club person right there.
Let's talk to them, they're gonna reproach you next thing.
You know they're telling you you know what man you look like.
You know how to party blah.
We love you I'm gonna hook you up, I'm gonna, get you into the club.
I'm gonna make you a VIP I'm gonna, give you an open bar for the entire night.
The firm's gonna have an amazing time.
It's all because of me blah blah blah blah blah your nights, gonna rock right, it's gonna rock! Alright! So basically they give you a voucher.
They give you a wristband.
They do all this stuff.
You are so into the club.
You're, like you and your browser.
Thinking, my god, this may be the best night of my entire frickin life, because now we're like VIPs right.
Well, here's a tip, Amy I'm.
Anybody in Las Vegas ever offers to make you a VIP for nothing.
That's exactly what you're gonna get nothing! Nothing right! You are never gonna, be a VIP in this town.
Unless you give somebody something for real, okay and not like 20 bucks, I mean like 20.
A side of 20 is not where you so anyway.
Here's how this happens, you're on the street, the person's got your black, their back they're like hey, bro, I'm, gonna hook you up a blonde like I just said, then they're gonna give you a wristband a voucher, all that really cool stuff and then they're gonna like stand they're gonna be like you know, pros I hooked.
You up, you know, can you just lame for me blah blah.
Basically, gonna ask you for money? Okay! So that's where it first starts.
So they're gonna like want, like 20 bucks, to come up, but you know what you're gonna be like: dude I'm gonna get free drinks out of this the entire night.
Oh, that's! Damn 20 bucks, no problem right, so you give the dude 20 bucks, then you're like cool.
They knew and your posse of friends arrived with the club you like get there.
You walk up to like the VIP line.
Cuz, you guys are in right, VIP right.
You like to walk right up to the like the the doorman and you're like dude.
Let me in I'm on the guest list, Baba blah next thing.
You know the doorman's like dude bro I, can't do it.
What yeah exactly they're like bro, yeah I, can't do it I, can't let you immediately in I mean you're on the guest list right yeah, yeah yeah.
So then they're like, but there's a guest list like what yeah yeah there's a guest, let's line so basically they plate over there.
They tell you hey, goes down the guestlist line.
Okay, so you go you'll watch the guest list line.
You walk! It goes around several corners.
You still think you're at the end of it, you go to stand there, someone tows, you know it's actually over there you keep going.
The guestlist line is like five or four hundred people.
Long because guess what everyone on this trip is running to this particular promoter or any of the twenty or thirty people like that, every everyone's, a VIP everyone's on the guest list.
Okay, not everyone can be important right exactly because no one's a VIP right, maybe if you're really lucky, you work your way up to the line and then maybe the bouncer may I want to take pity on you, but usually not because usually what they do, is they like Stonewall you at the door, they're gonna ask you for like a hundred bucks, basically to let you into the club right right.
Well, you're, already thinking you're gonna get free drinks when you're inside.
So you know, what's 100 bucks, it's what you would have spent anyway right whatever at this point, you spent four hours line anyway cool, so you gonna you get inside.
You go like find that open bar.
You realize that you remember the dude who hooked you up tells you, the bar closes it like midnight.
It's not like 11:45 yes you're like I can get at least one drink out of this.
That's all right, so you make your way to the open bar, which is usually one bar right and the entire club.
All right that's open, and then you discover there's a line of like 40 people in the bar, so guess what you're not getting your free drink and then at that point you discover dude I'm gonna call that do to hook this up right great.
You know that the bro he's got my back.
Can you told me he had my back right and I gave him 20 bucks I mean he's gotta.
Do something about this he'll do something about that! He's gonna, give you table service whoa table service table table deal with that those you get to buy a bottle.
That's fine right! It's already like 40 bucks.
No, it's gonna! Be like 995! So, basically, you get in you.
Get it out.
You do all the stuff! Bubba! Blog! You know! Twenty! Eight thousand dollars for a bottle of vodka.
You get to set it a table for an evening and you get to drink infertile couple of hours, yeah yeah.
So that's basically the scam.
Just remember anytime.
Anybody in Vegas ever offers to make you a VIP for anything and you haven't given them a wad of cash up front you're, probably gonna give them that wad of cash at the end, yeah yeah, there's going to be a wad of cash right, there's going to be a wad of cash exchange, so yeah, you know, don't bother the promoters on the strip Muslim just avoid them yeah yeah, and by the way you met the ring credentials, because one of the things we discovered was that mostly they're, usually wearing credentials and say they're, like official I'm, somebody right exactly they're still scams.
