For those that party all the time, knowing a VIP host (or 20) is essential. As the saying goes, knowing is half the battle, or in the case of the Strip’s soirees and bashes, knowing is almost the whole battle.

Locals scoff at long lines and ropes because, once you’re in the loop, a barrage of text messages and Facebook event invites will follow. Honestly, you might have to try harder to not be on “the list.”

The Details

The Host Awards
September 27, 10 p.m.
The Bank, 693-8300

Time to salute those snazzy-suited VIP hosts who cater to our every whim – the ones who wave you to the front of the line, get your third cousin twice removed and his frat brothers a comped table or help your drunk gal pal on stage to shimmy in the DJ booth. The Weekly has teamed up with Light Group to celebrate these sleep-deprived soldiers and thank them for making our partying that much more pleasurable with a rocking party, an award and a Blackberry Curve. (Perfect for sending out more text blasts, of course.)

Now it’s up to you to help us select the city’s best hosts in the following categories. So get ready, party people, it’s time to name names:

VIP host most likely to steal your customer

Best independent VIP host

Biggest VIP host jetsetter most likely to see the world on a customer's dime

VIP host with the biggest black book

VIP host most likely to show up to a meeting in last night's suit

VIP host most easy on the eyes

Hottest VIP host newcomer

Most established VIP host

Most charismatic VIP host

Biggest VIP host industry supporter

Nominate your favorite hosts today and check back on September 18 to vote for the finalists. Then, join us for the Host Awards held on September 27 at The Bank in conjunction with the Weekly’s annual nightlife issue, available on September 24. Xania Woodman will be hosting, and we’ll all be toasting our favorite Vegas VIP hosts.
