I wish the person filming didn't have an epileptic seizure through the whole god damn video, but I guess you can't win em all

Um I call bullshit on this.
They'll tell your "b-tch ass to go to the back of the line".
I've seen it happen. The bouncers might let it slide if its early, but try rolling in like this at midnight and youll get zero traction.
Get to know the head bouncer or head doorman/promoter. That'll guarantee you access. Zero wait. Zero cover.
Even then you are throwing him a C-note once in a while (holidays) or buying the dude some gifts (cigars, dope lighters, weed, cologne) as a friendly gesture.

This guy from the video revealed an amazing concept: ratios. Wow, mindblown.
Ok, so this worked one time in a video, but the club doesn't even look busy. There's a line of 20 people outside of a club that holds probably 800. And he went in the VIP/guest list line, usually if you aren't on it they direct you to the GA line. He got lucky.
I don't think one video of a successful attempt is conclusive evidence that this is a good strategy. Imagine if I posted a video of me pretending to be with the group ahead of me and luckily got in. Could I proclaim that I have a way to get into nightclubs like a boss? Hardly. Go early and ask politely they may let you in anyway, which is essentially what he did.
The DJ video is hilarious. I think the guy from the first video should record himself rolling up to the club and saying he's skrillex, he'll probably get in. He's definitely onto something.

The amazing thing is this actually works. As a guy who worked as a part time promoter. All the bouncers are told by the managers and owners to bring in attractive females. The attractive females is the key part here because no club wants to have a rep for being the place where busted women go. So any guy that rolls up to a club with three to one ratio or better of attractive women is basically guaranteed to get in without waiting. All they have to do is walk up to the door confidently like this guy does in the video. A little known fact is that some of the guys, usually the promoters you see at the table with the hot girls (brought there by the promoters) popping bottles are actually promoters hired by the club to try and get you to spend money. Preferably they want you to buy a table since that's how they make their profit. They figure if those guys have a table and are pulling all these hot girls and having a good time then that's what I should be doing. Most of the club going experience is pure illusion.

This is like secondhand, but my friend was telling me that his older brother a few years back would get on "the list" at nightclubs by calling ahead and just saying they were agents with their famous clients. The way he told me had me pretty convinced it worked, but I can't recall the exact methodology.

Yes, if you have good ratio you'll probably get in comped and quickly IF you come early.
I know the guys who run the LURE door. Thats why I sincerely doubt its "real".
Its one of the bigger clubs in Hwood and they rake the door hard. 20-40 per guy. They almost give zero fks about ratios there (all guys will pay closer to 40 each tho)
Why would they give up $$$ in their pocket?
Hollywood is actually a small circle of people. Most party people know each other. I sincerely doubt that dropping some bogus line about working for a non-existent spot will work. If they don't know your face, good luck!
Build a true lifestyle instead of lying and scheming.
The DJ thing was funny. It would probably work because nobody goes to those lengths to do it. HA!

At popular clubs I don't think this is going to work.
There's a spot I've hit up for a couple years now, sometimes on a weekly basis, and it's a go-to spot. It's almost always busy. I've seen groups of hot girls roll up 5-6 people deep trying to cut the line and get free cover and they are told to move to the back of the line. Groups with no guys, even.
Nevertheless, entertaining.

LOL. "I know the guys who run the LURE door." Let's take your logic below and ask one more question. Why would they stage a video for some unknown guy on YouTube to get in their club through the VIP line?
Regardless, anyone with any sort of sense in Los Angeles wouldn't go clubbing in Hollywood anyway.

I don't know and I don't care. Who knows what circumstances this transpired with, but trust me if you come at midnight on a busy night THIS SH-T WILL NOT WORK.
What I do care about is spreading potentially bad advice regarding something you don't have any TRUE knowledge about.
What if you go back to this place (after you get busted lying) and any chance of locking down this place is blown to bits...
Relationships are the long-game. They don't come overnight. They aren't "tricks" or "hacks".
If you get myself (long-time partier in Hollywood) and Veloce (works in hospitality) saying the same thing you should listen up.
Furthermore, LA is still a top-tier city. Where do you live and what experience do you have to be an authority on nightlife?
Break it down. Humble me.

Who would I trust,
A repped LA playa who does fly shit, goes to high end places, and drops data.
or
A guy who has been on the forum 2 years and has 9 posts, 4 of them in this thread.
It's a hard decision guys!

This wouldn't have flown at the shitty door I worked, much less a club in Hollywood.

It's funny how "senorguapo" is so desperate for validation (or does he have a commercial interest in that video?) that instead of trying out this strategy in a intelligent manner and reporting back, he just gets increasingly insecure and defensive.
My money's on a small, but entertaining meltdown in this thread.
P.S. I agree with DVY and Veloce.

O.P. is a definite sleeper troll, but I think this is a real your mileage may vary topic without a clear answer. In over twenty years of going to clubs in multiple continents, I have only waited in lines three times, Palladiam in Acapulco around 2003, Nikki Beach in Miami in 2011, and XS last year. With Palladium, I don't know what happened and I have been there at least fifty times since they opened. At Nikki Beach, some drunk girl with an Irish accent was working the rope/door and didn't let anybody in for at least half an hour. After I got in, I randomly met the manager and his ex wife, talked to them for at least half an hour, and was assured that I would never wait in line again. I have been there twice since and haven't waited in line either time. One time it was great and the other time it was horrible. At XS, I stupidly decided to go there completely cold at the las minute without buying a ticket or doing anything beforehand. The toughest doors are obviously the top tier clubs in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, and New York. The key to getting in fast is to have quality girls with you, get there early, know the people working the door and/or the management, or some combination of all of those things.

The best way to get into any club, anywhere in the world: get there before 10pm.
If it has an attach restaurant, eat there.
It might be low on people but the ratio will be better than any time during the night.
It really isn't rocket science. You also have far more opportunities to network with the personnel at this hour.

I thought of this thread last night.
Dude came up to the bouncer at 1am. I have two girls w/me, I work at blah blah blah. This and that.
Bouncer, "It'll cost you 100 dollars"
HAHAHA.
