Why on earth not? The only difference is the order in which events happen. Even contacting the casino host first, you still had to give your casino hosts' name to get an in with the club host, and that was my point.
The reason to contact the nightclub host directly is to get some level of assurance about reality rather than depend on a casino host to try to get something he can't possibly guarantee. It is not to say that the nightclub host will be able to help better or that some other information/connection isn't required to have an in.

Nope, it's just that as per usual you're being needlessly argumentative. I clearly stated that my advice was from the standpoint of reliable ways to get in the club (hence my word choice - "hassle-free", "assurance", etc.). As you admit, you're approaching from getting things comped, so of course you aim to do things differently. Heck, there is an entire forum on a 1mil+ hits/mo message board basically dedicated to how to get into Vegas nightclubs for free, but that's not what I was discussing.
