I went ahead and nominated Darryll DiPietro as the most charming.

hmm...I know Ryan. He stopped by and hung out for a bit on my bday last weekend. Didnt realize he had worked his way up that far. Good for him.

702 VIP?? Isnt that Thomas?

Yup that would be him.

Was a cool event! We had 89 table reservations on 44ish tables, $5000 minimums in the hallway (ha), the Light Group owners stopped in, and, well, it was packed.

Online voting was just over 1,000 votes, with only about 10% of votes having to be kicked out for being duplicate / repeats / suspicious.

The indy host awards were pretty fascinating to do as the results weren't what I expected.

Learned a few things....

1) By a VERY large margin, nightclub hosts and podium managers don't really think of that industry by the company names, but rather forge close relationships with the individual independent hosts.

2) Many of the independent host companies that claim to be the "largest" weren't even mentioned by any of those polled, and some of the smaller companies actually are more relevant to certain clubs as they focus on them rather than serving all nightclubs.

3) There are about 5 or 6 individual hosts who send a crap load of business to all of the clubs as they were mentioned top 3 by all club groups.

4) It is very common for those who lose these (or any) category to claim that the contest was rigged, rather than admitting to themselves that maybe they aren't as ______ as they think they are.

Online voting is about polling, which by its very nature can't be fully accurate. But the indy host categories came straight from the horses mouths.....

When asked who they felt were the top 3 best independent hosts and hosting companies -- without any lists to choose from, lead hosts and podium managers from 15 Las Vegas nightclubs voted the following:

For hosts, the top 5 were (in order):

Noah Auspitz, Amit Malik, Tony Marcum, Hamlet, Ryan Weigel

For companies, the top 5 were (in order):

Vegas VIP (Tie), Red Carpet (Tie), Vegas Group Entertainment, Monsoon Group, 702 VIP

Not too sure, but Darryll was texting me around midnight last night and he was chillin with Jack...

So who won what??

I still voted for Darryll so I guess it was all for nothing?

Thank you for the continued support, I'm sure your vote will count since I worked for 2 major nightclubs, 1 major pool and a major strip club this year. Either way, thank you to all that nominated me.

Two categories not listed are "Best Independent Nightlife Host" and "Biggest Independent Hosting Company." As the stakes are high for both of these categories -- nearly all independent companies claim to be the best, we will be directly polling senior nightclub doormen and podium managers as to provide 100% accurate and unbiased results.

the original super mod has spoken

lol...I just copied and pasted from the link he provided

I could of swore I read Indy host can NOT be nominated or voted on. There being voted on by industry managers, ect, only.

Is this for Indy hosts or the in House VIp hosts?

I was just suggesting something like this.

Nice work, this site is great.

You can nominate any industry host. Doesn't have to be indy.
