Racism

[swordvish]

Recently visited Vegas for a friends bachelor party. There were 15 of us from London and we went to various places over the course of 5 days/nights.

But one thing I cannot stand to see it blatant racism. At Tryst, I decided to go for the general admission line, while the others in my group bought VIP hosted entry. A group of indians in front of me and some asians behind were completely ignored in favour of a predominantly white crowd. They had queued since around 9:30pm and were still waiting at 11pm, whilst streams of people were picked out of the line behind them. Whats funny is that the door staff were mostly asians too. Interesting morals there...

Disgusting, but not surprising.

The indians ahead of me were a mix of guys and girls. Finally, after they got sick of waiting the girls offered to cut the guys loose and were promptly allowed in.

Should have told them about this site... what were the guys styles like? Style/dress plays a big role regardless of race.

Tru if they looked like losers I guess they wouldn't want them to come in but still after waiting that long I mean you should've gotten in unless they were told why cause that's like 2 hours almost

Style wasn't great tbh, but acceptable & average. Plenty of people who were let through (mostly whites) were on par with these guys.

Vegas is the one place Ive never noticed racism. I even asked Nassau if he had ever experienced it in Vegas, and he said NO. In Houston, this happens at almost every club.

In Vegas they pick people out of lines all the time. Ive never noticed it being based on race though.

Thats my point. It was fairly obvious that people who waited in the queue would EVENTUALLY be allowed in, but these indians/asians were being made to wait a LOT longer. And naturally they were getting more & more frustrated as they saw others being let in behind them

Well there are several asians that are members here, did this ever happen to any of them? if not then it may very well had to do with attitude, dress, not aggressive enough a number of things....cause I could tell you that I have referred people of all races to my hosts.....namely at tryst and never had a problem getting them in.....and to be honest I have seen people of all races have to sit in line for hours upon hours before being let in.....and its a far reach to say that asian staff were being racist vs. their own race. to be very honest this borders on the line of Libel, without some sort of proof that they were blatantly not allowing them in because of their race or nationality.

+1 on that kc is bad about this too. One of the reasons I don't go out here. I can't even go to the apple store without getting bad looks.

Its also funny that you mentioned this happened at Tryst, because a lot of peeps on the forum have said there are alot of asians at XS. Considering their sister companies, AND they share their host, it doesnt make sense.

fair enough. i would be happy to be proven wrong. the point you make about referring to people to hosts is fine, but I'm talking about how people are selected from the general admission line. It seems well known if you are hooked up, or open your wallet you'll get in, no matter what you look like

lol

I'm asian... never really had issues, but I could just be too naive/optimistic of a person.

I think it was clearly just a case of not having hookups, and NOT opening your wallet.....I dont care what race, color or creed you are, if you open your wallet youre getting in. but I also wasnt there so Im just speaking hypothetically.
