Kevin: Depending on bonuses, I earn between $100k to $250k on a yearly basis. So I used to be an entertainer, and now I entertain in a different way.įor more on Las Vegas, read THUMP's coverage of Electric Daisy Carnival Once I had over 10,000 contacts in my phone, I knew I was ready to set up my own company. I started as a promoter and from nightlife I expanded to daylife, selling cabanas and daybeds instead of nightclub tables. It escalated, and a year later I hung up my dancing shoes to become a full time VIP Host. I started arranging monthly parties for performers in shows on the strip.

Lance: I started out as a dancer-I graduated from Juilliard and I was one of the original cast in Celine Dion's first show in Vegas. I'm taking client calls on my days off, so you have to have the right temperament for it. It's a really prestigious position so there was a lot of competition. I heard of an opening for a VIP Host and I just went for it. Kevin: I used to work in client-facing roles in casinos and hotels. What's your background like? How did you become a VIP Host? They want to let loose-that's how I chose the name for my company. People come here to escape the real world. I'm a one-source solution-clients call me and I'm a one-stop shop to the city. My service is for everyone from all walks of life-it's my job to make celebrities feel like normal people and show non-celebrities a glimpse of the rock star life. Lance Sherman: People want to have fun and I facilitate that. You don't have to know everyone, but you have to know the guy who knows everyone. They want the ultimate VIP night, and I'm the ultimate Vegas host. Everyone wants an off the wall, crazy night in Vegas. I'll easily pick up the tab for $50,000 night out-but only if they play a decent amount in the casino. If they're a million dollar player, they'll get a villa and a private yet.

If they're a $50,000 player, they'll get a room or suite and a limo. They want rooms, food, spas, limos, shows-all comped. They think they're the man when they get off that plane. Kevin: When people come to this town they're like, 'BOOM!' It's a Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing. VICE: What do people want when they come to Vegas and how do you fit into that?
