Project:
Viva Lost Vegas - Creative Partner
Qualifications
================================================
1.
You know who Dan Tanna is/ was. The spirit of Dan Tanna (and Harlan
Two-Leaf) dwells within you. (BINZER Braverman devotee$ will also be
considered)
OK,
seriously now...
2.
You
LOVE and CARE ABOUT Las Vegas History, and a part of you
is torn away whenever they
implode/ destroy a historical landmark like The Stardust, Dunes,
Showboat, Riviera, Sands, Hacienda, etc. -- whether you've actually
been to these places or not.
2a.
You've
actually been to "these places", and/ or the words "Vegas Neon
Museum" get you all giddy
2b.
You know which of the above-named resorts has not yet been imploded,
as of March 2015
2c.
BONUS: You know the difference between El
Rancho and
El
Rancho Vegas
3.
You are honest, creative, motivated, easy to get along with, and are
(at least somewhat) skilled in social media
4.
You
have a STRONG sense of humor, and an appreciation and understanding
of
~THE ABSURDITY and WEIRDNESS OF IT ALL~
5. You know who Bob Stupak, Milton Prell, Jackie Gaughan, Benny Binion, Del Webb, Sam Boyd, Jay Sarno and Menachem Ricklis etc. were/ are. If you don't, it's time to get studying:

6.
IMPORTANT:
You
have a ton of spare time; being financially independent is a huge
plus
here, as this project is and will continue to be financially
dependent
on
an upcoming crowd-funding campaign -- as well as yet-unrealized
outside donations/ contributions and investors. (potential investors,
take note!)
On
the plus
side of that, this project holds a stockpile of tens of thousands of
dollars worth of tangible, valuable vintage Lost Vegas relics &
collectibles, which will be offered to crowdfunders, collaborators,
partners & story contributors.
6a.
Worst
Case Scenario Prognostication:
If
it all went south, there would still be eBay -- and we would share
the wealth (and listing duties) from the liquidation sales of said
relics there. Once you're in, I won't let you go empty-handed. (or perhaps
we'll just ride off into the sunset & open up a Vegas Museum somewhere)
6b.
ALSO IMPORTANT: you must support the fact that a fair-sized
portion of the proceeds of this project will go to selected local Las Vegas
worthy causes & charities.
7.
HUGE PLUSES: YOU...
A. Have good
business sense, or a background in business
B.
Live
in or near the general Los Angeles/ Southern California or Las Vegas/
Nevada region
C. Have
experience in any of: Film/ Video/ Documentary, Publishing, Website
or Graphic Design
D. Have
personal contacts who have great Lost Vegas stories to tell
E. Have
connections to classic Vegas icons & entertainers, or their
immediate family members
F. Are
multi-lingual: we hope to get stories from Lost Vegas visitors around
the globe
G. Like
to BRING
COFFEE
to people you work with (reciprocal, of course!)
8.
You
can physically & mentally handle an extended stay in Las Vegas,
heat and all.
Oh,
the Humanity!
The Bottom Line:
You
are willing to make an initial sacrifice and take an initial risk, in
terms of time & effort invested, to preserve Las Vegas history.
You will most likely be compensated, possibly even generously,
however there is no guaranteed timeframe or amount. The success of
this project is directly proportional
to & dependent on the
amount of effort, dedication and creativity YOU
and I
put into it:
As
for me, I am ALL IN.
How
about you?
If
you fit with a good amount of the above, and are willing to work on
the rest, please contact me at: with the

ALSO:
Please send our way anyone you know who fits a good chunk of these
qualifications. We will reward YOU with an awesome, unique,
extra-special Lost Vegas relic for referring to us anyone who
eventually invests in, supports, or joins up with this project! Be

work together!
