Cinderella




Cinderella

Now I know how Cinderella felt when her fancy coach turned back into a pumpkin.  The last two nights were very easy money.  Bill Pullman, aka The Whale was trying to close another deal by entertaining clients in Vegas.  He returned home today and I have to go back to working the floor at Treasures tonight.   My Vegas girlfriends and I are planning to hit Drai’s after work and then I’m going home tomorrow.

To answer 6footBlondie’s question, yes I will be here for the SEMA Convention November 4-6th.  Mike, I may stay longer, but it depends how good the early part of the week is going.

I made a mint in the market this week. I bought puts on BIDU and GOOG on Wednesday.  Nevertheless, I’m glad I can step away from the computer and do some other things now.

I love vegas




I was back in action at Treasures last night.  It was slow, but I closed every sale and met a lot of really nice people. Well, I closed every sale but one.  Bob tipped me very well onstage and told me to come over to his table.  When I approached, his overly-intoxicated business associate Raj stuffed a bunch of ones in my cleavage “Yuuur hot! But we’re talking bizzzness!  Come back!” he slurred as he chased a shot of tequila with a corona.

“Maybe you should replace his beer with a Voss” I suggested to Bob.

Sitting in the Airport




After hunting for gate C25 at LAS (don’t get on the shuttle, otherwise you have to pretty much backtrack the entire distance), I discovered my flight is delayed, won’t get home til after midnight now.

Once again I affirmed my two night limit in Vegas. Despite the fact that I KNOW it, I continue to test it.  I can’t wait to get home and sleep in my own bed.

All whining aside…this was a GREAT trip.  I’ve never landed a Vegas Whale before.  Collectively this is a record week for me.  I called Mr. V earlier today.  He nearly had a heart attack when I told him how much I had tipped out Jacko Smiley the VIP host at Treasures. In this town, it is well worth having the VIP hosts on your team.  If I hadn’t made myself known throughout the club by tipping well everytime I took a client to VIP he would have never introduced me to Bill Pullman.  Like any business, it costs money to make money.  Bill Pullman spent over $100 grand this week on airfare, hotel, pool cabanas, strip clubs, and VIP access to score his deal.

I hate vodka even more than Red Bull today




Especially when it’s mixed with bacardi and coke, champagne, and tonic.

I spent the better portion of Tuesday nursing a hangover. I broke my all time sales record Monday night though.  It wasn’t my “best nite ever” because I’ve gotten a few generous tips in the past that I don’t “count” as part of my sales.  Regardless, Bill Pullman came back in with about 20 guys.  I signed out and entertained his party for 5 hours in The Venus Room.  He was trying to close a deal before the end of this Shopping Mall Real Estate Convention.  In 5 hours I watched him spend over 25 thousand dollars on booze and strippers for 20 guys.  Add in the 15 thousand he spent on Sunday night, and the 15 thousand I heard he spent on Saturday night before I got into town. 

So I googled Bill Pullman’s real name today.  I guess 55 thousand dollars worth of booze and strippers worked.   Just proof that big business is still the old boy’s club.  I had to giggle looking at the professional portraits of company President Bill Pullman and his Vice-Presidents and CEOs.  They looked so distinguished and respectable…when just the night before they were hi-fiving each other like fraternity brothers.

I hate Red Bull




Whenever I’m sleepy and I drink it too keep my peppy at work…it doesn’t seem to do anything.  Until I get home after a Vegas Shift and try to go to sleep.  Then it works.

So, I learned something tonight.  I don’t know how to title it, other than “How to NOT be a dumbass stripper”

I love my social capital at Treasures.  All the managers greeted me with a hug, smile, and “Where have you been?”  The VIP hosts did the same and tipped me off to a party that was scheduled to arrive at 11:30.  When the party arrived, they pulled me from the table I was sitting at and shooed me to a group of 14 guys in the downstairs VIP balconette.
