Doormen in Las Vegas are regularly making $8,000 to $10,000 per night.
How? By accepting big tips from regular schmoes who don't want to wait in line to get into the hottest nightclubs. The way it works is the guy working the rope line takes a toke to allow people to cut to the front of the line. This starts at $200 per person, though some idiots with more cash than brains will often tip $1,000 per person to get to the front of the line.
Once they get to the door, the door guy then charges them a higher cover charge. Since they've already tipped the guy to get to the front of the line, these dumbasses then have no problem paying $50 to $100 to get inside, even though the official cover is "only" $30 or $40. Anything above the cover goes into a kitty for the door guys to divvy up.
The IRS is investigating now. And raided the offices of some LV clubs.
But yeah, some dolts working a nightclub door in Vegas is making between $400,000 and $500,000 per year. And to think I used to get psyched over $100 and free drinks for working the door at Papa's on St. Patrick's Day and NYE.
