LasVegasNightclubs.com: What began your career in Las Vegas nightlife?

Noah Auspitz: I started working for a hosting company right from the start. I trained for 6 months, learned the ropes, met the locals, and started to build relationships.

JC: Why did you choose to focus exclusively on the independent side of the industry?

NA: I’ve been on the other side working in a nightclub and felt I could achieve more by working for myself. I get to focus on the goals I want to accomplish down the line. The nightclubs kept a tight leash.

JC: What do you attribute to your professional successes in nightlife, and why do you feel you have succeeded over and above where others have only done an average amount?

NA: Extremely hard work, right out of the gates. I feel like I worked my ass off for the first 5 years and it’s all really starting to pay off.

JC: In your words, what is the difference between an independent host and a nightclub host?

NA: It’s basically the same thing but as an independent host we can provide a greater level of service. I have more time developing relationships and being around the clients more. I am universal when it comes to where the client would like to go. It’s all about being a jack of all trades in the nightclub business.

JC: What customers benefit the most from using independent concierge services?

NA: A guarantee for their money and a higher level of 24 hour service in Vegas.

JC: Who would you recommend not to use your services?

NA: Probably the person who is looking for the cheapest deal possible, and when they feel like this is something they can do on their own.

JC: You have a very strong relationship with Tao Group. How did this begin?

NA: It all started with LAVO and being a huge supporter of the brand. Preforming on my highest level, which felt like was always appreciated.

JC: How much of an impact would you say participating inthe Las Vegas nightlife contests has been on your overall career?

NA: I feel these contests have helped to build the VIPnVegas brand and definitely gained some notoriety as well.

JC: How do you balance the late nights and early office hours?

NA: It can be hard to manage. Less drinking before the early days, knowing when to go home.

JC: What are the best and worst parts of your job?

NA: Best part would be being out and about hosting and having fun. Worst part would be dealing with the administrative side of the business!

JC: What advice would you have to someone looking to win a Vegas nightlife contest?

NA: Build a huge network, start promoting early, put in a lot of time, and don’t stop promoting till your done celebrating your win.

JC: What advice would you have to someone looking to do what you do?

NA: People think this job is a piece of cake, but my advice is work hard and your reward will certainly come around. Never burn bridges and always keep your relationships strong.
