The Social Climbing Manual (Las Vegas Edition)

From right now until the day after Christmas is Las Vegas' annual "dead season" - their quietest time of the year. So if you were already thinking of calling in sick/drunk to the probably canceled office Christmas party, now is the time.

Our friend Jack Colton (Norman H.S. - OK '00) covers the Vegas nightlife industry and has helpfully profiled the top 20 industry personalities. This is mandatory stalker study material before your next trip. They are conveniently ranked by the number of contacts in their blackberry. Tis the season to Facebook 'em, see if you can fool them in to thinking they know you, and hook yourself up.

Would you be surprised to know that the strip club VIP host guy dwarfs even the most popular nightclub concierge? (over 20,000).
