question for club guests from a host..

[BAJA]

Just wanted to take a quick poll and being a Host (one of 5 million) in the city of las vegas wanted to know a few questions. What exactly do you look for when planning your trip? Do you want to go to a club with a big name or would you rather go to a club a step down where you know you will get great service?

Great Service will always get my vote.

Would you go to a club for a Dj or would you go to a club for a great party?

I'm in Vegas to party. With my boys, girls, everyone. DJ doesn't matter.

Does it matter where the hosts are that you like?

Very much so. Once I have established a relationship (even if it was Great service just once) I would go back to the host and possibly pick a club that they access.

And last would you rather spend 1500-2000 on a table at a club knowing you will be in the back or outside or spend 1500-2000 at a tier 2 club and be put on the dance floor in the middle of the madness?

That's a tough one. I have seen hotter girls in tier one personally and I am not sure that there is a significantly greater advantage being closer to the dance floor. I would be okay with a sub par table in tier 1. As long as its not outside in winter months, you can work chemistry anywhere in the club and bring people over to your table if necessary. That said, nice to have a view of dance floor from your table so you can join the crowd when you feel the vibe. So not sure what the answer is for me on this last question.

Just wanted to know some questions had some debates in meetings today. ALL feedback is welcome

I think there will be alot of shuffling actually. Hakkasan after a couple months will get rid of alot of hosts. Places like Xs and Marquee may lose a few hosts to it and Vice versa usually when a new club or 2 opens (Light, Hakkasan) there is always a decent amount of changes in host. I actually almost went over to Hakkasan myself

Any known hosts have moved lately ?

Hi Chad ! About your little survey...
1) I don't care about the name of the club. I wanna go to a good party. I don't want to end up in a half empty club. If I'm 100% sure they would be a great party in a tier 2 club on a given night, I would not hesitate to go.
2) Second question is pretty much answered in the first one...
3) I would have a tendency to follow a host that I like. So yes, it really matter where the hosts are.
4) Like BAJA, I would not care to be at a sub par table in a tier 1 Club. Location is not the most important aspect for me. But if I can get an extra bottle or a good special in a tier 2 club, I would consider.

JC favorite Noah Ortiz is at Light now (used to be at Marquee). Haven't had the opportunity to work with him yet....need to change that on my next trip in May!

Service trumps everything else. I've had a dance floor table at XS where the waitress dropped the bottles off and we never saw her again, and I've had a table at Surrender way out in the boondocks and the waitress hung out with us, brought us more free drinks from the bar, poured at least half our drinks, etc. Then, a few days later, I get a thank you note from Surrender management. Yeah, it was a generic thank you via e-mail, but I've never received that from any other club, and its not like I set the world on fire with my spending (1 bottle).

XS is very nice, and all, and some of my most fun nights ever have happened there, but I will always make it a point to try and get to Surrender on future trips. All it took was one great customer service experience.

As for DJs, table location, Tier 1 vs. Tier 2....everything in Vegas is light years ahead of what's going on where I'm from, so everything seems pretty great.

I believe Thomas Gorman will be a lead host at Hak.

That's good for JC members

Noah at Light and Thomas at Hakkasan? Sounds like the JC community is all set at the new clubs!!
