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.
Varies widely depending on how much leverage you have. Like most things in life.
Maybe contests aren't your forte then. Cheap beer might be better alternative.

What's your take on the whole Don Imus racism scandal?Border Patrol Agent
Do you ever feel sorry for the illegals you catch trying to cross the border?Firefighter
How can you tell if a fire was arson?Promoters will tell you if they can get you in up front and before any money is exchanged. If not, are you sure that's the promoter? Could be the valet.
I could write a book as an answer to this.
Overall I think if you have certain advantages, looks chief among them, clubs can be pretty decent places.
Best foot forward...put a lot of effort into your appearance. This means being in really good shape, lots of thought into your clothes and style, and a cool haircut. Getting to know people in nightlife (promoters, etc). And most of all build thick skin. Finding love in a club is a numbers game.
Ha! No. The club isn't even really liable for most things and they have insurance (which costs a fortune) for the things they are liable for. If a promoter was held liable for the actions of 2000 drunk and potentially drugged-up bozos, no one would ever do the job.
