I was walking out of Haze nightclub in Aria (This is in Las Vegas) and I ran into an upper level guy who works for Angel Management Group.
We started speaking and he handed me his card. I put it into my pocket and put the idea on the backburner because I've just got a lot going on and at that time (6 weeks ago?) I was still focused on doing the MMA thing which would 100% be in conflict with the lifestyle of a host (and a lot less fun).
Since then I've been on a bender, going out 3,4,5 times per week, having a blast. Getting so many numbers that I forget to call girls and have even forgotten that I made plans with a few of them. In short, I am really enjoying this life. I've got good connections with the enough doormen and hosts already to get the occasional comped table and bottle and get past these ridiculous lines (if I had to wait I just wouldn't even bother going out, which would probably be good for my mma aspirations)
Now I'm at a point where I'm tired of spending money, and still making peanuts in the fight world. I'm 32 and while I want to continue my training to stay fit and sharp. Being a successful fighter just doesn't seem as important to me as it once did.
On the other hand, I have the feeling that if I walk away from it now then that's gonna be all she wrote.
These hosts do really well but work a lot of hours. As far as calculating the value of the fringe benefits, I'd say you almost have to double the cash you make and these guys are pulling about 500 to 1k per night. Your nights off you are REQUIRED to go to other clubs and drink comped bottles at comped tables. Which means you are REQUIRED to have hot ass help you.
