I went with Trib last week to Vegas and we of course had an awesome time. I opened casually without any AA and a lot of new ideas happened to me while in set. Unfortunately, I only got the hook point with one girl since most conversations stalled, but I did have a lot of bounces and my game has significantly improved.
I want to keep a long story short so I will just talk about the highlights.
Me and Trib went to the Ghostbar at the Palms. I opened this set of two smoking hot blonde tens who were cousins and bounced them, introduced them to Trib, and then got stale unfortunately. I learned though a good technique though with bouncing. One of the girls said to her cousin while I was talking to them "lets go sit down." So what I did was I acted like I didn't hear them, and said "I am going to sit down over there. Why don't you join me?" So they told me "you lead the way." Things got stale, does anyone know any good push-pull techniques when conversations get dull?
Then Trib and I went to Rain. I also followed the tips I received from some dudes on the forum for picking up hired guns. I went to a bartender, asked him "what is the DJ's favorite drink?" He told me "Vodka and Redbull." So I bought a Vodka and Redbull, walked over to the area where the DJ is where this bouncer is looking all tough and gruff about not letting anyone in. So I told the bouncer, "I am bringing this drink to the DJ" and the bouncer moved out of the way and said "go right thru." So I go onto the stage, offer the DJ a drink, and start talking to this girl for a long time, bounce, get her number, and the rest is history. So girls seeing me bring a drink to the DJ like I know him is definitely a DHV and establishes social proof. A lot happened, but too tired to get into it all.
