What’s The Difference Between Las Vegas Nightclub VIP Hosts and Promoters?
In many major cities across the United States and abroad, a “promoter” or “VIP host” is the individual (or team) hired or contracted to manage a specific night at a nightclub. They oversee the night’s operations and serve as the primary point of contact for anything guests may need during that event.
That’s not how things work in Las Vegas.
To start, very rarely (and we mean rarely) will you see an outside promoter in Las Vegas who is actually completely in charge of a specific night at any of the major clubs on the Strip.
Each of the clubs are run by large management companies, who do all marketing, events, booking, promotions, and all things in between in house.
Sometimes they work with companies like ours for help with an event, but they still completely manage the door, the venue, and merely work with us on programming and promoting the event. And, either way, we aren’t considered “promoters” in that situation.
While you may encounter “Las Vegas promoters” and “Las Vegas VIP hosts,” they are typically employees of the venue—and their roles differ:
Las Vegas VIP Hosts: Their primary responsibility is booking and managing table service clients. However, they can also assist with guest lists, help expedite entry, and provide general support at the door.
Las Vegas Club Promoters: Their main focus is bringing guests to the venue—whether through guest lists, general admission, or discounted entry. They can also help coordinate table reservations when needed.
The “club promoter” you’re used to back home, doesn’t do exactly what you’re thinking of in Las Vegas nightclubs.
