Ti aniee Paige Sharing both sides of her personality

There are two sides to Flamingo GO Pool’s model cocktail server, Ti aniee Paige—the extrovert and the introvert.

“I’m a party starter at this pool,” says the Florida native. “I’m hosting a party at my own house. Celebrating with my guests. I want to get to know my guests, my people. I think it’s important, customer service—I have to be on the memorable scale. I want them to remember Ti aniee on their Vegas vacation.”

When she’s not charming guests and bringing the party to the pool club, Paige is at home creating oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, working out and writing poetry and song lyrics. “Outside of work I am a big nerd,” she says. “I give my personality to everyone all day at work, so when I’m done, I like to take a breath, relax and go inwards.”

But don’t get Paige wrong. She’s happy with what she does for a living. She’s been with GO Pool for three seasons and loves every minute of it. “Our pool gives you something completely di erent than other clubs,” she says. “If you could have a backyard barbecue with your whole entire neighborhood and just have everyone come over and everyone is just vibing out and drinking, having a good time, swimming. That’s the energy we have here. It’s more about celebration and having fun. It’s not about what you’re wearing, how much money you have, where you come from.”

Paige herself comes from a background in nursing and has her aesthetician license. She’s also been a bartender in Orlando and Miami; but always wanted to move out west so she came to Vegas about fi ve years ago. “It was intimidating in the beginning when I moved here,” she says. “I had no idea how big the industry was. But now I couldn’t be happier. I love it here. I’ve made lifelong friends. I feel like I’ve found a home away from home.” It seems Vegas has pleased both Ti aniees. –Kiko Miyasato
