What is a VIP host if not your best friend when you have a client in town? When there is Patron to kill? When there’s a bachelorette party en route? Always greeting you at the rope with a smile—sure, he or she may have had a rough night: lost his keys, broke her Blackberry … again …

They work hard for the money, filling our clubs with the sexiest of the sexy, filling our glasses with the best of the bubbly, and making of our Vegas nights memories we may never fully recall!
