NEW VEGAS MODEL TIP

1. Booking Direct To Save Money: We receive many testimonials from frustrated clients who tried booking models directly, whether through friend “referrals,” a Craigslist ad or skimming through social media accounts. There are several issues with this process: A. Authenticity: Unless you have met the model for an in-person interview and worked with them previously, you can not predict how the model will present himself / herself in person – both physically as well as their personality and people skills. Booking through a reputable Agency insures the models you book will actually look like their photos, and have the professional experience provided by the Agency. A model can put anything on his / her resume, and photoshop themself however they like in photos, but the Agency has actually worked with the models in person. B. Reliability: A Model is far more likely to complete his or her obligations on a job, arrive on time, wearing the required attire and looking their best – when their valued Agent is involved. It’s easy for the model to burn bridges with one-time Clients who may never use them again, it’s harder to justify burning a bridge with a reputable Agent who may provide a lot of quality bookings. C. Experience: Quite simply, most Clients do not have much experience booking models for their trade shows, events, and shoots. Many of our Clients are first-time Talent bookers, or have used Agencies in the past. When you haven’t booked Talent before, there are sometimes many factors overlooked. Experienced Agents think of all the aspects of a booking so that the Client doesn’t have to. It is very common to hear these words from a Client, “What a great idea to have them bring their____ , or make sure we book models who know how to ____ , I would never have thought of that.” After years in the business, reputable Agents learn from all past mistakes Clients make, and guide future Clients into taking the appropriate preventive measures in the future. In other words, having someone experienced on your team ensures the booking goes more smoothly and no details unconsidered. 2. Choosing The First Agency You See On Google: It is important to remember when searching organically for any business, that FIRST does not mean BEST. There are many outlets for businesses to use to maintain a high ranking on Google. Just because they pay for the ads, have a great SEO team or have been in business for years, does not mean they are the best choice for your brand. Always do your research – read reviews on Google and Yelp, check out their social media pages ( Facebook for reviews and Instagram for content and community reputation ). Agencies with poor reputations due to lack of professionalism, quality control and poor business ethics are many times the ones who spend the most on Google ranking. It is ok to reach out to many Agencies and see what clicks. It’s important that your Agent understands your goals and brand image, especially in long-term business relationships. 3. Choosing Your Agency Based On Price Alone: Price and Cost are two different things – Price is what you pay, the “cost” is time and money spent measurable to the success of your event. Many companies have strict budgets for their marketing and events, and it is necessary for cost to play a factor in choosing your Agency. If quality, professionalism and reliability is important for your brand, consider the classic saying “you get what you pay for.” Reputable Agencies will generally offer similar competitive rates, standard rates for quality Las Vegas models. There are a lot of bookings in Vegas and models are paid well, which is why so many quality models migrate here for work. If an Agency’s rates are considerably lower than everyone else, you may be receiving less than you paid for. Please always consider paying a fair rate in order to receive a high quality model, who will be punctual and be a great representation for your brand. 4. Booking Models Based Solely On Looks: A common mistake Clients will make is choosing their Talent / Models based on photos alone, without inquiring about the Talent’s personality, reliability and past experience. It is important the Talent you book is the right fit for your brand and the task at hand. Always ask the Agent for a brief bio on the Talent you are considering. It is a common testimonial from Clients to complain about beautiful models they’ve booked in the past, who were hired to work a convention and couldn’t carry on a conversation with attendees. Or booked to work a social event and were not engaging with guests. Or were hired to promote a product and were not comfortable giving a sales pitch. Certain Models are great for certain types of bookings but not others, and vice versa. It is important that they are the entire package for that particular booking, which is very important to us as well. 5. Booking Models From “Friends”: In Las Vegas especially, it is becoming increasingly common for young models who develop relationships with Clients ( through Agencies ) to attempt booking Models themselves for extra cash. Many times these models / “Agents” do not have their State Business Licenses although it is quite easy to obtain. And those who do obtain their State license, likely do not go through the extensive process of applying for and obtaining their Clark County Regulated Business license. In the state of Nevada and unlike other States, Modeling Agencies are highly regulated. It is ILLEGAL to book Models in the state of Nevada without a government issued Clack County Business License, which requires background checks, a stable non-residential office space and consistent regulation from the county to ensure no illegal activity. Models who also “book” on the side many times do not have the proper documentation, required licensing or the proper business knowledge and foundation to properly execute a professional booking. Further, due to the ample cost they likely do not have liability insurance. It is a risk to book Talent through an Agency which does not have their own insurance. By hiring “Models” to book additional models for your event, the person(s) risks fines and the Talent hired lacks a professional booking experience. The more non-professional Agents that are used to book your Talent, the more our local market decreases in quality, and reputable businesses have a harder time flourishing in an increasingly competitive atmosphere. Models & Talent grow used to the casual and laid-back booking processes from non-professional “Agents” which carries over in their behavior with reputable Agencies and creates habits that are harder to break. In any industry, it’s best to leave jobs to the professionals.

Las Vegas Corporate Talent and Models Legend Models and Talent provides a wide array of Corporate Talent and Models for various types of bookings. Whether you are planning a large or small private event for your staff and clients, or whether you are looking to add some beauty and entertainment for your convention booth, Legend Models and Talent has you covered. Corporate Talent Comes in Many Forms A few of the most requested types of Talent for Corporate Events are: Showgirls: Legend Models and Talent Agency offers a versatile roster of beautiful, tall, poised and experienced showgirls. We have a wide variety of models and showgirl costumes to choose from, which are available for rent for your event. Placing glamorous Show Girls at the entrance to your event to pose for photos and greet your guests, is a great way to provide that fabulous Las Vegas ‘welcome’. Clients and guests love the WOW factor. Showgirls can also be positioned on your step & repeat or red carpet which may include your company and affiliates’ logos in the background. Showgirls are some of the best Corporate Talent available. Greeter Models: Legend Models offers a large roster of beautiful, friendly and professional greeter and hostess models. Many clients choose to put 1-2 models at their entrance to assist in greeting the guests, checking them in, providing wristbands or goodie bags and more. For conservative corporate events on a budget, many clients choose to have their models wear their own black classy cocktail dress. Edgier events or events with a larger budget may opt to dress models in bikinis or ring card girl outfits. For themed events, we can provide your models with costumes to coincide with your theme. The sky is the limit! Check out the video in our Photo Gallery for some inspiration. You can also take a look at our Instagram for photos from past bookings. Greeter models are essential Corporate Talent for conventions as well as for many other events. Impersonators / Tribute Artists / Tribute Bands: We represent and staff the very TOP tribute artists in the industry, the most popular being Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Elvis, Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. We also represent the following impersonators: Alice Cooper, Lucille Ball, Cher, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Rat Pack/Frank Sinatra, and a great tribute to Slash. Most of the top artists live here in Las Vegas, so travel expenses are typically not needed. Clients have the choice of having the Corporate Talent walking the event to create ambiance, mingling with guests, and posing for photos. For Entertainment or Vegas themed events, clients may choose to have the impersonators look-a-likes at the entrance to the event or on their step & repeat/red carpet, to greet guests as they arrive. You can have your tribute artists perform anything from a short medley of songs to a full concert. If the budget does not allow for the Talent to be booked for the entire event, you can book the impersonators for a portion of the event. This can be as simple as including a short performance followed by a brief meet & greet/photo op. We are happy to work with any budget and have A, B, and C Talent rosters to choose from based on your budget. Tribute bands are a great way to connect with your guests. They ensure that your guests experience the classic “Vegas” evening full of familiar hit songs they love. Legend Talent can provide you with everything whether it is a full Prince Tribute Band, Led Zeppelin tribute band… You can even choose a band that plays all 70s hits, 80s hits, 80s rock hits, current pop/top 40 hits, and more. Gogo Dancers / Hip Hop Dancers: We represent some of the top gogo dancers and hip-hop/choreographed dancers in Las Vegas. Many of our dancers currently perform in the major Las Vegas clubs. You can often see them in popular shows on the Las Vegas strip as well. Gogo Dancers are freestyle dancers in matching outfits, placed throughout the event or on stage. These dancers freestyle dance to the DJ’s set list to get the crowd going. They are excellent Corporate Talent for events, providing extra “eye candy” and fueling the high energy every event needs. We are happy to assist you in finding matching costumes for your dancers that fit your theme. Short on time? We have many costumes to choose from as well! Hip Hop / Choreographed dancers are a plus for any event. They are a great way to jump-start the energy of an event or add a memorable finale to an already fun and exciting event. We have many different types and styles of dancers available to fit your vision. We can also provide backup dancers to perform with the tribute artist or impersonator of your choice. Body Paint Models: Body painted models have really taken off in popularity over the last 10 years. This is another great way to WOW your guests and get creative. We can paint models in theme to match your event, paint them with your logo, and so much more! For more conservative events, models can wear a dress or bikini, and be painted on arms and legs. For less conservative events, models can wear a bikini top and thong, or pasties and thong, and be fully covered in a body paint design from head to toe. Please check out our Instagram @LegendModelsAndTalent or photo gallery to view some photos of our body painted models from past bookings! Another way to add an element of entertainment or visual interest to your event is to have the models body painted on site for a “LIVE” body painting experience! We have done this before for events as well as in clients’ convention booths in order to drive attendees to their exhibit.
