Hotshots (4)

I think it could be either:

aces

vips

'hotshots' is the definition.
('ace' can be a synonym of 'hotshot')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aces that I've seen before include "Top (or bottom) cards" , "Ones or elevens in cards" , "never come back" , "winning shots" , "wartime pilots?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
