I have family that owns some condos in Vegas and have been there several times to party. Wonder how hard it would be for a male bartender with over a decade experience in Nola to break in at a place in Vegas.

I can tell you for a fact it's not too hard to get a gig at a small/mid-size place to get your foot in the door...then make the right friends and move up fast.

If you want to get into the big $ from the jump - You have to know somebody major or catch on with a place that's about to open a new location in Las Vegas. Either that or make some SERIOUSLY strategic moves at Tales of the Cocktail and plant the seed in the right person's head.

I have 2 friends that bartend at major hotspots and another that is Bar Manager at an established mid-sized** hotspot. She worked the boats on the coast to pay her way through Tulane and they helped her get a foothold there about 10 years ago.


** mid-sized = On the Strip downtown @Fremont... 60-70 employees... 2 floors indoors + rooftop and ground level patio... Indoor & Outdoor live music stages (one floor indoors alternates dance club/private event room)


ETA:

Should probably mention all 3 I know there are female and legit rock stars at what they do. Only one of the 3 could've gotten a shot on "looks alone"... The other 2 are good-looking but not "Vegas Elite" types.
