  • Tipping those guys who talk to you on the street...?

    I'm not talking about those people who hand you passes and then ask for tips BTW. Every time me and my girlfriends have walked around on the strip we are usually approached like 3 or 4 time (especially center strip) by men who ask us if we want to be on guest list at various clubs. Sometimes they even offer us deals like open bars or free dinners etc etc. Then they ask for one of our numbers so that they can contact us. We actually have not taken advantage of this really at all. The only time we ever did show up we had to wait in line at JET FOR LIKE EVVVVERRR (I remember him telling us he was new). My question though is are you suppose to tip these people if you do go to the club and they help you skip the line? I thought I remember at least of few of them reiterating that they don't work for tips and they just want girls to come to their clubs... Now that I am on this website though I see people talking about tipping hosts so now I am confused are you suppose to tip them and how much? I am a waitress so I am not cheap about tipping when I know what to do! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

    If someone doesn't work directly for a club, at the clubs location I don't bother with them much less tip them. A club that has people hustling for names on the blvd to fill their guest list might not be one you really need to be on a list to get into anyways.

      Well they were always the really popular ones such as JET, Pure, The Bank, Vanity, All the Palms ones... They said that they do work directly for the club (i think). Idk maybe it is because I have gone during the slower season... Mid March, Thanksgiving... Idk also my friends and I are pretty attractive girls IMO my girls being more so than me, so maybe that has something to do with it..?

        I guess those guys are like the bus boys/staff/ jr hosts that have quotas to hit in how many girls they get to the club.

        don't tip them when you meet them early in the day. Only tip them if you see them at the actual club and were helpful there (directing you where to go to get in immediately or actually walking you in themselves).

          Thanks! I was starting to feel like an ass hole for not tipping people! But just a tip to any girls who these guys approach you really can get some good stuff from them and get on really good lists.
          But back to the original question if they do hook it up how much is standard to tip?

            No worries, a lot of girls don't tip so don't think anything of it. I like to suggest $5-10 per girl to guys paying for the girls in their party but really anything from a girl will make them more than happy.

              My buddy slipped up and tipped some random dude who did absolutely nothing.

              Needless to say, he heard it from us the rest of the trip.

                I've dealt with those guys selling passes on the strip on a few occasions. Their passes have worked to get comped cover at the big named clubs as long as you beat the time cut-off. They say that they work for free and rely on tips...

                My last trip, I was offered passes to XS and I took em and walked off. Dude followed me talking bout "gimme a tip." I'm like "gimme?" .... He followed me for 4 blocks tried fight me, and to get Flashlight and the Johnnies on me...

                    They're all in the same category to me. I call em Vegans (not the vegetarian kind). Vegans: career-less, over-tanned, street-hustlers on the strip.

                      Not really they are VERY different from the ones who approach you on the strip with passes in hand... and they work for the club. I'm sure that's how you work your way up out there...

                              Too outspoken for the thin-skinned... But I though my first post revealed how much of an @$$ I can be.
