Las Vegas · one shoot day
What your trip actually looks like
You fly in, you sleep somewhere good, and you spend a day being photographed properly by people who do this for a living. Then you fly home with a model of you that you own a share of. Everything below is read straight out of the costing the platform actually works from — the room, the car, dinner, and a night out if the calendar lines up.
Written for someone weighing this up on her own. It reads better before the application than after it.
One day in the room, and who is in it
The work itself is a single day — stills, motion and, only if you have permitted voice at all, clean audio. You move between stations rather than standing under one light for ten hours. The trip is longer than the shoot because the travel days sit either side of it.
You will not be the only model there
The day is built for 3 models sharing one crew, on a staggered rotation. That is what makes a real studio, a real gaffer and a real make-up chair affordable at this size at all — a day shot for one person costs roughly two and a half times as much per model.
In practice it means there are other women in the building having the same day you are. If that is not how you want to work, say so early — it is a fair thing to want and a much easier conversation before a date is chosen than after.
The shoot is the same however much you raise
Same crew, same room, same directed capture at every rung. What a larger campaign changes is the trip around the work — the cabin, the room, the nights — and nothing about the model that gets made of you. Selling someone a worse likeness because she raised less would be a worse product and a much worse promise.
The 8 people the day is built around
These are positions, not names — nobody has been hired, because no date exists to hire them for.
- Dataset technician
- Media manager
- Production technician
- Lighting
- Production assistant
- Make-up artist
- SecurityOn set, for the day, and nowhere else — what that does and does not cover.
- Production manager
Your trip, line by line
Four trips are published, and the one your campaign is built around is a separate choice from how much it asks for. Raising more does not push you into a bigger hotel, and a leaner trip on the same raise is not a wasted campaign — it is money that stays yours.
Every line below is read straight out of the costing model when this page is built, so what you see here is what an operator would be working from. No amount of money appears on it: what the trip costs is our side of the arithmetic. What you keep is yours, and it is set out on what you keep.

A dashed line is a maybe. Where the model says a thing depends on the dates, this page says it the same way rather than rounding it up. Nothing on this list is booked or held for anyone yet — there is no company to take a payment and no date to book against.
The car, and what it is not
Where your package names a car, it means a vehicle booked from a licensed operator, with a driver, at a price agreed in advance. It is a class of car. That is the whole of what the word means here, and these are the classes the ladder uses:
- Black car
- SUV
- Stretch limousine
What it buys is comfort and certainty, not transport. A taxi or a rideshare does the same journey for a fraction of it. Booking the car ahead means you are not standing at a rank at midnight with your luggage working out what a surge is going to cost you — that is worth having, and it is honest to say that is what it is.
On Premium and Marquee the airport run is not a separate booking at all: those room tiers run their own car in both directions as a standard amenity, so the package does not pay for one twice. That bundle is airport transfers only — the commute to the studio is never part of it, and it is carried as its own line on Standard, Premium and Marquee.
Nobody travels with you
The crew the shoot day is costed for includes a security position. That is on set: the room the work happens in, for the hours the work happens.
Between the airport, the hotel and the studio door there is a car and a driver, and that is all there is. No one is booked to be with you in transit, to meet your flight, or to sit in a hotel lobby. It is not costed, it is not arranged, and this page is not going to let a nice car imply otherwise.
If you want someone with you door to door, that is an entirely reasonable thing to want and it is a conversation to have before you commit to anything — not an assumption to arrive with.
Even the on-set line is a budget, not a booking
No firm has been hired for it, and the rate it is costed at is flagged in the model as an assumption, because no operator in that city publishes what it charges. It is money set aside for a job, at a figure someone still has to go and confirm.
A night out, if the calendar lines up
Every package that has a club night at all describes it as club night if the dates allow one, and that is a fact about the week rather than a hedge. The 3 rooms the model prices against are closed most nights, so whether there is one comes down to which day your shoot wraps on.
Dates get chosen around what the shoot costs — a room on those dates, a flight on those dates — and the calendar decides the rest. You will know which way it fell when the dates are set, not on the night. If it lands right, it happens. If it does not, nobody is going to invent a night to keep a page tidy.
Getting in and having a table are different things
Guest list entry is the door — you are in, and what you drink is yours. Table and bottle service is the higher rung, it carries a minimum spend, and only the higher packages are costed for one. Your package says which it means on its own line above. Nothing here is complimentary; it is simply what the campaign was budgeted to cover.
Nights it is possible at all
At least one of the 3 rooms is open.
- Wednesday
- Thursday
- Friday
- Saturday
Nights it is not
Every one of them is dark on Sunday and Tuesday. Monday is claimed by some sources and denied by others, so the model counts it closed rather than betting your evening on it.
- Sunday
- Tuesday
- Monday
Pre-launch
Three things that are still true
You have just read a description of a trip. It is a real shape, costed against real rates — and it is a shape, not an offer, because there is nothing here yet that could make one.
There is no date yet
Nothing is booked, held or reserved for anyone, and there is no company yet that could take a payment or sign anything. Every campaign on this site today is a display fixture.
You would travel on your own
A car and a driver between the airport, the hotel and the studio door. Nobody is booked to be with you in transit, and no page here is going to imply otherwise.
The night out depends on the week
Where a package includes one at all, it includes it if the dates allow one — and on several nights of every week, they do not.
If any of that is a problem, it is a much better conversation now than after a date exists. Nothing you do next commits you to anything — the application flow asks what may be made of you and shows you every answer before you sign it.
