I want to become a bartender in a Las Vegas Nightclub. I am going to bartending school and then I am going to relocate there and hopefully find a job. Is it hard to get an entry level job as a bartender in a nightclub in Las Vegas ? How do you get in the door ? And how much money can I expect to make ?

40 to 50 k a year. not including tips

What do you look for in a nightclub? What type of music? Lighting? A single bar table or scattered mini-bars? Is availability of food important? Do you go just to dance, hang out with friends, or meet new people? Smoking or non? What is the single most important feature? I’m just looking for general opinions on the matter. Something to help me focus my ideas and efforts.

being able to talk somewhere a little quieter if you have to.

I have always wanted to throw a party at a nightclub. I have never had a party of my own, So I want to know how do I go about planning a big bash at a nightclub such as getting a dj, bartender, security etc.. I don’t want to have a club just for invites only just hosting a successful party at a venue. How do I book performers and what not. Any advice would really help thank you

I would find a club that I liked and then go there in the day (pre party time) and ask to talk to the manager. He’ll be quite happy to talk to you as you are $$$ to him. Ask him/her how. He’ll be able to put you in touch with good people. You can also check out the yellow pages under stuff like party planner and get someone to do all of the hard stuff for you.

You would have to get one of those Safe serving of alcohol certificates, right?
Do you have to be a regular clubber of that nightclub? Do you have to be an alcohol drinker? Will they teach you how to mix drinks or do you have to know that already?
How much do nightclub bartenders earn?

you go up to the owner, ask for an application, then get on your knees

lol… jk. depending on which state youre in, you can serve alcohol and be a bartender. you dont need a fancy shmancy certificate. You dont have to be a regular, or an alcoholic… they’ll teach you a little… but really… you should know combinations and drink names already. it gets busy, and you have to know what youre doing

I was told by a nightclub owner that they are allowed to do this in order to get an even split of men and women attending the club (on police advice?) and this is why they are entitled to do this. I myself am under the impression that this is not complying with the sex discrimination act. Any help?

It would be hard to get away with this kind of thing in the EU, ladies night and charging men more to goto a night club is blatant discrimination, viva le EU.

I’m thinking about drinking red wine in a nightclub when I visit Northern California (probably in San Francisco). I wonder whether I should get a bottle or 4 glasses. Don’t know anything about red wine so probably will just get the house red wine.

Totally depends on the type/brand of wine – also depends on how much money the club jacks up the price (different restaurants/bars charge differently for alcohols/wines)
