What it Looked Like to Work in Vegas At the Height of Glitz
Flashing lights, pounding music, and the endless assault of neon signs made working in Vegas feel like a sensory horror show. Servers in stilettos and sequins carried drinks while smiling through humanity’s weirdest egos, drunk tourists, and desperate demands everywhere.
Behind the curtains, costumes ripped, makeup ran, and managers demanded miracles on demand. Pit bosses, cocktail servers, and stagehands became professional contortionists, surviving in smoke, glitter, spilled drinks, and the occasional airborne chip.
By sunrise, the Strip gleamed like paradise in postcards, but the people keeping it alive were exhausted, traumatized, and quietly plotting revenge against the city that never stopped blinking.
