Although Las Vegas positions itself as an “Anytime, Anywhere” kind of town, there are a few things you want to bring with you before you go there.

1. Bring Chap Stick. News just in, Las Vegas is in the desert. The place is dry as hell. Just look at anyone who grew up there or has been there for any amount of time; mad wrinkles. Obviously, poor white trash genetics could be involved, but everyone gets chapped lips if your there for over a day. And nothing blows a G’s game faster than chapped lips.

2. Bring Gum and Cigarettes (if you smoke anything other than Marlboros or Camels). This will cut down on your trips to the out of the way 7-11’s and you will be able to spend your time more productively (like at a bar with a Goose and Soda in front of you while a fly girl admires your 3 Button Canali pinstripe with pumpkin colored Canali shirt and Blue and pumpkin Zegna tie, blue Versace pocket square and Black lace ups by A. Testoni). The Casinos don’t sell gum. Parliament Cigarettes for instance, are also not sold in Casinos. So bring them.

3. Bring two cell phones. Having a Cell phone break or malfunction, as I have covered in previous Manifesto tips, is not the worst thing in the world, if you have old school game. But why make it hard on yourself? Cell phones, for whatever reason, have a tendency to break in Vegas (girl knocking it into the spa tub in your suite perhaps?). Cell phones have a higher value in Vegas than most towns because “meeting spots” and “lag time” are always something you have to deal with….

4. Bring plenty of CASH. This tip is for those out there where CASH is an object. Obviously it is very easy to get CASH out in Las Vegas. But if you are like most people, you can only get $300 to $400 out at a time. Vegas ATM’s give out money in $100’s. Three or Four Bills doesn’t make a very big Bankroll. As Arnold “The Big Bankroll” Rothstein once said, “A Mans strength is in his Bankroll”. So a smart move is to bring plenty of $20’s so you have a nice big Bankroll. Especially if you get ahead of your ATM.

Other things to keep in mind when going to Las Vegas:

1. The DJ’s are terrible. Keep this in mind when you roll to the Nightclubs there as stated in “The Blueprint for a Perfect Night in Vegas”. This applies even to the “best” clubs there. It’s almost amazing how bad the DJ’s are. I don’t know where they guys were spinning before they got to Vegas, but it must be some where that I have never been. Just understand that they are terrible before you go out, and you won’t feel any need to throw a bottle of Goose at the DJ booth.

2. Nightclub population. Understand going into the night that the people in Vegas nightclubs are extremely low-end. This applies to the “best” nightclubs also. This isn’t New York or Miami Beach. The majority of the people in nightclubs in Vegas, their weekend prior to going to Vegas probably consisted of a bowling alley and dinner at El Torito in place like Tucson or somewhere. It generally speaking is not the jet-setting international crowd. Sure, frequently you will see some Hollywood stars or Professional Athletes (which, who really cares about them?) but the vast majority will be Middle America runoff. The door policies are basically not very exclusive and the people running the clubs, probably cut their teeth in places like Wichita or Denver or some crap.

3. Service in Vegas is very good. This applies to restaurants and bartenders almost across the board. Be very careful though, sometimes the service can be overzealous. Where you really have to be careful is when you are at a bar or restaurant and you pull out a cigarette and the Bartender tries to light it for you with their Bic. They mean well, but if you have a Dunhill lighter or a Zippo, the last thing you want is some overly jumpy bartender lighting your smoke with a cheap lighter. Beware, and always remember, The Rest is Up to You……………………..

Side Note:

A few weeks ago I was in one of the “better” nightclubs in Vegas with a Beautiful Colombiana (that’s a girl from Colombia for the culturally challenged). It was her idea obviously, and although I wasn’t “Behind Enemy Lines”, I was not all that thrilled to be there. Interestingly enough, (or really more like not that interesting) there was some Professional Baseball Player in the spot as well. Now, I don’t follow team sports too much, but I have got word that this guy Jereck Deter or something is pretty good at Baseball and somewhat of a pro baseball “playboy” of sorts. Too bad that the girl he was with, gave me her phone number when he wasn’t looking. He is also lucky that I don’t like bleached blond girls like her and that I was already with a way more fly Colombiana. But still, look at the “scoreboard” Jereck……it reads Deter-0, Mason-1. I would apologize, but I am not going to, about having to send you down to the “minor leagues” of Nightlife. You were just unlucky to be in the same spot as me as the same time. I am sure you’re still a “player”. And in Jereck’s defense, he was wearing, I think a “jumpman” shirt and I was Brioni down. But think about it, this guy is a “playboy of pro baseball”? Who is his competition? A bunch of jerks that chew tobacco with goatee’s and wear tight pants?

Quote of the week:

Marion Barry was robbed at gunpoint and has this to say about it: “There is a sort of an unwritten code in Washington, among the underworld and the hustlers and these other guys, that I am their friend.” ——Now that is a true politician…….MPM

Email of the week in regards to Manifesto Destiny: Innovative Gentleman’s Club Concepts:

“Wow you are the biggest phony. Why don’t you stop lying about your fake life and tell the readers that this is all imaginary. If I wanted to I could go on the internet, find out how much expensive suits cost and write up something like this. I doubt anyone with your “class” and “taste” would quote juvenile or hang out at strip clubs…Stevo”

——Look Stevo, just because you live in some backwater with some chubby wife that doesn’t even know how to cook and clean doesn’t mean you have to take it out on me. What happened to you last weekend? Couldn’t get your favorite table at the Olive Garden? I actually “tone-down” everything I write just to give it more believability. If I told the whole truth, no one would believe me. Also, I actually quote Shakespeare and Voltaire often, but it didn’t seem to go with a piece about Gentleman’s Clubs. Juvenile seemed more fitting. What kind of “strip clubs” do you hang out at? The kind where men are the entertainment? To each his own………skippy…..

“Mr. Mason, I am speechless. Thanks for such priceless instructions on how to “close” in a Vegas gentlemen’s club. I just never thought it had anything to do with my Joop cologne, baby powdered cookies, my Super Cuts pompadour, my stack of wrinkled singles, the Bud Light in front of me or my fake-me-out suit I got from Marshall’s for $79.99. I heard you are spending this weekend on Mr. Paul Allen’s hybrid yacht the “Octopus”, but are you ever available for private lessons?”

——-Weird. Paul Allen does read the Manifesto. Just keep reading…..skippy——–MPM

Manifesto Destiny II: Innovative Gentleman’s Club Concepts

Click Here to Download The G Manifesto’s Free Gentleman’s Club Report (pdf)

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

“Y’all need to open your ears up and soak this game up
If nobody don’t know ya im gunna make you famous……….

This is 24 karots but it shine like stainless
Just look at how the diamonds compliment my fingers

Chasin with the Grey Goose now thats how a G play
Especially when them girls shakin that ass and a DJ

Yes sir its the bubble right hurr
Y’all beautiful women if you insecure”—Juvenile

We have already covered the basic concepts of how to dismantle the Gentleman’s Club in: Manifesto Destiny: The Gentleman’s Club (if you are one of the many hundreds of new people that read the G manifesto everyday)

Today, we are going to go over some extremely innovative and forward thinking concepts. This is the kind of stuff that most so called G’s will be doing in 3 to 5 years….if they are lucky. This information literally represents hundreds of nights and countless hours of data assimilation. But this is data that even Bill Gates CEO of Microsoft couldn’t assimilate. This is strictly for the G’s.

1. Always be aware of your “traffic lanes”. When your in a Gentleman’s Club, be aware of “how the river flows”, meaning; which direction is the flow of the exotic dancers. This might take a minute to figure out. Know where the girl’s dressing room is and know where the girl’s bathroom is. Flow usually moves in these directions. For instance, if you want to be in the center of the action, position yourself so you will get the flow of girls towards the dressing room. Also, keep aware of the walk ways and where there it a “T”. Positioning yourself where the two points meet will also increase the amount of traffic of girls. Being in a highly traffic zone will obviously increase the amount of girls that will fall prey to your Armani Tie that Georgio custom made for you (I like to go with a grey, green and blue Armani Tie, Custom Versace suit, with peaked lapels, two-button, grey Sea Island cotton bespoke shirt from Jermyn Street, blue Canali Pocket Square and split toe lace-ups by Bruno Magli…total cost a steal at under $7000.00) and air-tight game. Also, keep in mind that you might want to turn down the volume of the flow of girls if you step into a spot early in a night to avoid getting “buzzsawed” or “grinded out” too early. Either way, always be aware of your traffic lanes……..

2. Bar Positioning. This also applies to the traffic lanes. Also, if the Gentleman’s Club has multiple bars, you will want to “case the joint” to make sure you are at the best possible bar. And when I say “case the joint”, take it very seriously. Take it as serious as famous Irish Bank Robber Willie “because that’s where the money is” Sutton would case a bank. For instance, you don’t want to be “downstream” from some jackass phony player who spools up all the girls before they get to you. This can really mess with the vibe. Also, watch out for phony and real Pimps trying to recruit. You don’t want to sit too close to these guys for many reasons. The main reason being that these guys again screw up the mojo…..

3. Be careful not to get “Boxed In”. The G typically sits at the bar (suited down of course) facing the opposite direction of the girls on stage. The Regular guys all either sitting at the bar or standing facing toward the action. This is how you can appear disinterested and separate yourself from the status quo (refer to: Manifesto Destiny: The Gentleman’s Club ) But if the Gentleman’s Club is getting full and the lanes are clogging up you can get Boxed in by Regular Guys. This occurs when guys are standing between you and the action. This can make it difficult for girls to see you and get to you (because it is you they want to hang out with pro-bono after work, right?). So always have secondary spots to chill and smoke when your primary spot gets two crowded. You have to be able to stick and move, so to speak. Spots by the girl’s dressing room are known to be effective…..

4. Always be aware of the Shift Changes. This is most important for Las Vegas. In other places you usually know when girls get off work: it’s when the club closes. However, in Vegas a lot of the clubs never close. For instance a lot of girls work the 3 to 9am shift. You don’t really want to try to close too heavy at 4am or you might get caught “chasing the dragon”. On the flip side, 7am is a good time to turn up the heat. If you need to, write the shift changes on a “cheat sheet” or note card. It’s that important. (Obviously, I have the shift changes committed to memory).

5. The Art of saying “No”. A lot of times you are waiting for the right exotic dancer who hits your nervous system the right way. The problem is, there are always going to be a lot of other girls coming up to you that you are not all that interested in (especially when you are always the Top Ranked G in the spot, as I always am, or you if you dress as smooth as me). The key is you want to keep everything moving forward and you don’t want any hard feelings. A great response to girls is “I am just waiting for my girlfriend to get off work”. Almost all girls will just move along out of respect. You can’t use this one too much or you will seem cheap jackass. And obviously if a girl just got off stage and she dances dope, take care of her, you cheap jackass……

6. Champagne- Spa Close. This one is a classic. Really works well. Hell, this one works on civilian girls during the day…….Essentially this is best done a little before shift change where you say something like “Lets just get out of here and roll to my suite in THE HOTEL in Mandalay Bay and drink some Champagne”. If you need a second punch for a One- Two, then say “And in the morning you can go to The Spa get a massage, etc……” Be creative with it. If you are on a budget, THE HOTEL and many other Casinos, have a tienda with Champagnes for as little as $15.00. Just pay for it when the girl isn’t looking. Of course, in the morning, make some excuse about how you need to shoot out to NYC for a restaurant deal meeting you have with Nobu and Masa or something. Or if you want to, hell, go to the Spa with her…..she deserves it.

Soon, we will get into some more advanced techniques for Gentleman’s Clubs like: How to overcome the “I can’t go to your suite, I have to go home and feed my pet” objection. Till then, The Rest is Up to You…………………………………….

Emails of the week in regards to: The Art of the Grease

“Wow! I’m speechless. So much useful information. You should think about putting together a quick reference card. You know how some people are with information like this. Jerks will be greasing bouncers with Super Tuscans and their tailor with fruit baskets and walk around in bad fitting suits not being able to get into any clubs all the while bad mouthing The G Manifesto for their inadequacy’s. I see a real slippery slope with delving out this kind of information to every wanna be G. Think about guys you know. Maybe it’s the local huckster from Santa Barbara or the Pillsbury dough boy from Green Bay. Guys like that will take bits and pieces of this critical information and completely pervert the way of the true G. 3 words- quick reference card- Keep them coming (so to speak) by the way, what fundraiser were you going off to?”

———point taken, but all in all, I think this will do more good than harm. The fundraiser? I would tell you but the all the scratch I am shooting to him is from numbered Swiss accounts. You can appreciate that, right?—MPM

“The only thing that was greased was my ass this Holiday Season Mr. Mason. I thought I found my Muse in life, but instead I feel like the time my childhood idol John Elway walked right by me and belched because he was so intoxicated, when all that I wanted was a “how’s it going sport”. Maybe you should take some PR classes to learn how to deal with your fans and not steal their jewelry, car and cash, sleep with their wife, toy with their emotions and then sleep with their wife again. Bah Humbug to you!”

—–Really weird. Why would you ever idolize anyone from Denver? Obviously, your problems don’t end there……—-MPM

“I have never been slapped in the face by a man before, at least one that saw it to the next day, but this is the closest thing. I mean no posted quote from your most loyal fans or critics and bashing my livelihood and Real Estate industry all in one swoop??? What is your deal or malfunction Mr. Montefisto?

Where is the loyalty Mr. Mason? Have you sold out on your fans? Are you at the top of the mountain?”

—–I actually hate the mountains….to cold, and not enough Cuban Model Girls either……———-MPM

The Art of the Grease

» 05 January 2006 » In Guide, money, Style » 11 Comments

The Art of the Grease

Greasing is one of the Cornerstones of The G Manifesto. The purpose, obviously, is to make life easier and really, to get a return on your investment. The Art of the Grease is to make it seem like you are actually not Greasing. Most people don’t like to be bought. That is why the Holiday Season is really the best time to Grease. During the Holidays, you can give “gifts” to people under the premise of the Season of Giving. I know the Holiday Season is over, but January is technically still the Holiday Season on The G Manifesto Calendar because holidays are often spent away from home, like in ST. Bart’s, for instance. The Holiday Season really should be called “Grease Season”.

When you’re Greasing, you always want to be subtle. Never make a big show of it (this is one of the big distinctions between greasing and merely tipping: in tipping you always want the fly girl you’re with to notice). Always pull someone aside or meet a good “drop-off” location. Or have one of your operatives do the work for you, depending on the Grease. Here is a basic guide to some of the people you will want to Grease this Holiday Season and what to give them:

1. Drivers. You should have at least a few different drivers on your payroll. These guys can really get you out of jam and you need to keep the wheels greased (no pun intended). Like when you’re out in the suburbs at some Mansion party and you need to split out of there fast with a couple of fly suburban girls. News just in, cabs are hard to come by in the suburbs. Come to think of it, Dope Nightclubs, Gentleman’s Clubs, Sick Restaurants and Culture are hard to come by in the suburbs also. Regardless, take care of your drivers. I usually give my drivers a couple of Montecristo No.2’s or some other dope Cuban Cigar.

2. Resturanteurs and Matre’D’s (also Bartenders). It really goes without saying that these guys are super important to have on your team. I like to give these guys a nice Zippo, Dunhill, or Dupont lighter. It’s a good move whether or not these guys smoke. Most resturanteurs are so busy they don’t have the time to pick up a dope lighter and are forced to use Bics. Even if they don’t smoke, they have customers that do (like me) and if they are a restaurateur worth their weight, they will need to light a ladies cigarette. This grease move will really pay dividends next time you need the best table and help with general good will.……

3. Bouncers. Only grease bouncers with CASH. And stick to the important ones, like the Head Bouncer and the Doorman. There is a decent amount of turnover in the bouncing world.

4. Tailor. This is one of the most important people to grease. After all, he is in charge of how you look. I mean, really this guy might be the most important. You should have a very good tailor (Italian of course) and you need to take care of him (if you don’t have a good one, your scene is pretty pathetic. For instance, at any given time I have at least 10 I am working with, usually Northern, Central, and Southern Italy is well represented. If you really need help, ask me, Ill give you a referral, I am that type of guy…..) I always get my tailor a really good Super Tuscan. You will be amazed at how well this works. The pro bono Brioni pocket squares and Tax-free purchases on the flip side will make the Super Tuscan more than pay for itself.

5. Barber. Very important as well. After all he is in charge of your hair. And if you have hair as beautiful as myself (you can thank my Mom) you don’t want some hack from Super Cuts or Family Fades giving you a trim. Nor do you really want some hairdresser party chick, or Suicide Girl still up on beaks or beans dialing you in. You want a real pro, a legit Barber that has been cutting hair since the days of Bugsy Siegel. Even better if the guy has cut Bugsy’s hair in the past. Again, this guy should be Italian. And Super Tuscans are the grease as well. This will really come in handy when you need a last second haircut before shooting to South Beach, Miami.

6. Associates that work for you. The best grease is a meal with drinks. This way you can keep your “ear to the street”.

7. Butcher, Fishmonger, and girls that work in your local Italian Market. CASH. Well worth it too, to get those extra good cuts of meat, to get super thin sliced prosciutto, the freshest fish, and a smile from the girls. A smile from a cute girl goes a long way in my book. So does a hug and a kiss from a fly girl, but that’s a different story…..

8. Stockbrokers, Various Real Estate knuckleheads, Accountants and Lawyers that are on your team. These guys don’t really deserve much, you pay them enough already. If they like to bend the rules for you; then you can hook them up. California wines are always good. Never CASH with these guys.

9. Cops. And when I say “cops” I am referring to “bent cops”. The ones that are of value. The one’s that can run a plate number for you, or let you know when they are planning a raid and who they are going after. The best grease for these guys is beautiful girls. I mean, how many fly girls do you know that want to date a cop? Cops only date fly girls in Hollywood movies or on Miami Vice. And keep in mind, Crockett and Tubbs wore Armani…….Usually after a bent cop spends a night with one of the girls on your team, they are ready to keep the information flowing. Information is the greatest commodity, right? (Oil and Gas futures are not too bad either, if you know what your doing). In fact, introducing girls to a cop, is a good way to get a cop bent in the first place…..

10. Politicians (from City Hall on up). This is the major leagues of Grease. There has been a lot of negative press in the news lately about this and you have to be very stealth. Obviously CASH is the move. Time on charter planes is also a classic. Easier to track though… That’s why I prefer CASH. If you don’t understand the value of greasing politicians, then I am sure your problems don’t end there. Keep in mind the best politicians to Grease. Don’t bite off more you can chew. If your business is mostly locally based, you don’t need to go after the President. Start small. City Hall guys are easy. Girls work well with them too. Fundraisers are always great opportunities to increase your influence (just last week I went to one for a gentleman who is running for State Assembly, for instance). Just make sure you cover your tracks, and of course, dress sharp (Custom hand made Italian pinstripe suits, blue Zegna shirts, blue and white Zegna ties, baby blue Kiton pocket squares and Cap-Toe lace ups by A. Testoni is a good outfit to go with, just in case you didn’t know that already……..)

There are other people you can grease. Greasing needs to be tailored to your individual scene. Maybe if you play a lot of golf ( I don’t), you might want to take care of the jerk that carries your bag around while you waste your time trying to hit a little ball around some grass. To each his own. But always think grease. It’s a greasy world, slide into it (so to speak)……..The Rest is Up to You……

Side Note:

There is none this week. I need to go, I am late for a fundraiser……….
