Check their ‘completely true’ biographies below and join them in celebration at Pure Nightclub on 10/15/2013.
Joseph Gettright – Joseph is one of the only DJs who is able to seamlessly spin the music for a party while eating a full meal with chopsticks. Known for his gigantic smile, cutoff shirts, and fascination with the praying mantis, Mr. Gettright has a bright future in both Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Matt Duda – Legend has it that Matt whittled his cane from a piece of sweet mahogany in a single week. He now uses this iconic staff for self protection from cougars, as an oversized musical flute, and as a putter while on the golf course. With his US Navy background in the culinary arts, he plans to open a 24 hour donuts, pizza, and massage parlor on Spring Mountain.
Misty Rose – Her initial passion, and beginning career path, began in the pursuance of a professional karaoke career. Her steadfast mission to become ranked in the top ten in the US came to a screeching halt during a competition at the Ellis Island Hotel & Casino here in Las Vegas. During a freak accident she dislocated her voice box. While her path had changed, she has earned a spot as one of the city’s rising stars.
Andres Mazo – This man’s simple start began when he saved Almaza Hookah Lounge from a devilish arson attempt. From there his reputation exploded as he singlehandedly is responsible for starting the trend of men wearing tight red pants in social settings. A strong partygoer, and true gentlemen, Andres is the definition of Almost Famous.
Ben Brownback – Ben represents a sort of wild card in this list of standout Las Vegas personnel. Within a span of a few hours spent with Mr. Brownback, one could easily drink fine champagne from the bottle, experience shots of Grand Marnier, indulge in the finest cigars, and ultimately end up receiving a piano lesson. He is one of the most passionate people we’ve seen toward his family and friends, and highly deserves to be on this list.
Char Modelle – Char Modelle’s initial success began when she earned seven straight southern Nevada defensive driving merits; an achievement that doubled the previous record. Taking with her the skills learned from accident free driving, her great looks and ability to work a ridiculous amount of jobs in a single week took over. She still holds the lowest insurance rates in the state.

Anthony Delacruz – Between his rigorous schedule as the Food & Beverage manager for Tao Group, Anthony runs an underground spider fighting ring. While this scene is small across the US, it remains a booming business in Asia. Some of his most recent epic battles have matched arachnids from different classes, and all battles can be viewed on Skype. With his reigning champion, a trapdoor spider named Ocho, he plans to use his next vacation to try his luck in the Laos fighting circuit.
Wendy Macias – She is a definite up and comer at Hakkasan nightclub, and recently took the bronze in the 2013 waitress Olympics in the sprint and champagne pour event.

And to hedge his bets, he decided to grow his own roses.
Charity Faith – After her instant stardom from her viral YouTube video: Queen Bees and Bottle Rat Dreams, Charity Faith quit her job and began traveling the world as an internet celebrity.

Stephanie Williams – Stephanie is well known for never turning down a good time, a dress-up party, or a great pizza. After the last year, her Klout score has almost doubled, and is only part of the reason she is nominated. The other reason is because she never needs a chaser after shots.

Luckily his skills were unmatched, and his illustrious career was headed for Las Vegas.
Kira Benzel – The first individuals who left Montana to conquer Las Vegas had left an immeasurable impact on the city. When Kira arrived, the expectations having already been laid out for her were pretty damn high. As is common with Montanans, they like eating cabbage, trapping beaver, and meeting expectations. While Kira despises cabbage, she is amazing at getting her hands on some beaver, and has done nothing short of meet and exceed all expectations.
Jordan Nolan – Jordan has been the envy of most females that she meets due to the fact that she doesn’t need fake eyelashes. While it is becoming more common to find girls fretting over these fake accessories, Jordan’s naturally long and lushes lashes never need any extracurricular attention or additions. Her great looks, beaming personality, and stunning lashes have treated her well at Hakkasan, and more recently assisted in her engagement.
Michael Sartain – Michael experienced a very rough childhood due to the fact that his body rejected his initial polio vaccination. At age 5 he ended up contracting the disease, but due to his strong will and the nature of his character, he naturally beat the disease. He has taken this polio fighting strength with him into adulthood, and at times his business determination is unmatched. Randomly enough, he came up with the name for his current company after being inspired by Livin’ La Vida Loca.
Yoshi Lahn – After a lifetime of laughing off comparisons to Mario Brothers characters and having to combatively fight off requests for rides from creepy plumbers, Yoshi found his passion in extreme martial arts and is now a level 10 black belt.

When he’s not doing kegal exercises he likes to crochet slippers and donating them to the barefoot tourist girls walking around casinos.
Madd Maxx – Many don’t know this, but Madd Maxx is the writer for Cards Against Humanity. His witty yet offensive creativity has got him almost arrested, punched in the face, asked to a threesome, and had someone name their first born after him. This of course was because Maxx acted out all his cards out before they went to print.
