Nightlife Basics

What makes a nightspot 'hot'?

What makes a nightspot hot is basically the people. Places come and go, and usually clubs here in LA are only good for a couple of months, like three of four months and then people get ADD and they just want to go to the next new bigger and better deal. But, it is basically the people, because generally celebrities will go to a place and they will start it off and make it really hot and then all the trend setters influences other people such as models, actors and other famous celebrities will follow. They will go there and it will be really hot. Then you have your B, C, D crowd that will follow after that, and then by the time you reach the whole gamut of people, the place is probably not hot anymore. So the cycle starts again at a new venue with different decor and theme; the whole deal.

Why is there such fast turnover among hot clubs?

What is a 'bouncer'?

Who decides who gets into a hot club or bar?

Can I crash a hot club or event?

What name can I drop to get into a hot club or event?

What is the difference between a 'club' and a 'bar'?

The difference between a club and a bar is that a bar is just normally a place where you can just sit and drink. Generally there's no dancing in bars. Clubs are actually licensed to have dancing. Believe it or not, there are dancing licenses. And clubs are licensed for dancing.

What can I expect from a night at a typical hot spot?

At a typical night spot, you'll have amazingly beautiful people. People might not be the friendliest, so I suggest bringing a friend with you, so you're just not sitting by yourself all night or if you're shy. You'll find great atmosphere, and beautiful decor. If you're at a club, there'll be an amazing DJ. If you're at a special event, you'll have probably an array of orders to choose from including an open bar and dancing and just amazing things in decor.

Why is it so hard to get into a hot spot?

What does it mean to 'be on the list'?

Why do some clubs have different names on different nights?

What is the difference between a 'promoter' and a 'special events producer'?

Where do promoters get their lists?

How can I get on a promoter's list?

I guess if you are new to any big city and want to get on a promoters list, I would maybe do some research on where they promote and visit those spots. Maybe early, I would go really early in the night especially if I were a guy because then they will be more likely to let you in when there is like two people inside.
