I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.

First of all, I don't condone doing drugs. Unless they make you feel amazing. Or help you have fun. Or relieve stress. Or get an attractive person to sleep you.
But if you are going to do them or get them, Vegas is among the easiest to do so. Find a sleazy looking guy at a table and ask straight up.

By hook or by crook.
I suggest social media as the most efficent means. But promoters are always promoting. Friends of friends, strangers at the mall. Women are everywhere.

Yes they do care and the better the club the more they care.
They manage the process through the promoters. The promoters will be liable for bad bottle clients just as they would be for fat girls. Since a good promoter knows he will catch flack for selling bottles to a bunch of overly-agressive poorly dressed fat guys, he will make it a point to meet the client or at least check out his facebook before actually selling a table to him.
Here's where it really gets devious. If you try to book directly with the club (some clubs allow this on their websites or over the phone) they will ask for a credit credit to hold the reservation. What they are actually doing is looking at your name. So a Brett Weinstein is going to have an easier time getting a table, will have fewer bottles to buy, and get a better table location in the club than will a Mohammed Al Tareni
