    Default Are Vegas Clubs Doomed?

    First, Rick's Cabaret closed without warning last March. Business was awful and in a way you could see it coming. They said they'd reopen within two weeks under new ownership and a different name. Those two weeks have come and gone and the club has yet to reopen.

    Deja Vu Ultra Lounge recently closed with a 24 hour warning. Its said that they'll reopen but when you've seen this happen more than once to other clubs, it tends to make you feel negative.

    It seemed great when Deja Vu Showgirls went from nude to topless but they're always slow. After all, with rhino and sapphire being within walking distance, something more needs to be done in order to attract attention to the club.

    Now one has to wonder, are there any good clubs left with reasonable housefees? I know of only two clubs where business is good but the girls aren't treated well and I flatly refuse to put up with that shit. The business itself is stressful enough.

    Most girls I've known to experience this had to keep calling the club every day until someone answered. They eventually allow you to come in and get your things. It'd just be nice to be warned a week or so in advance.

    DV Ultralounge will probably re-open as something different.

    I feel for all the girls out there. I really do.

    Doomed? Nah. All part of the cycle of life. Vegas will always be Vegas but things need to cycle and evolve. Things change. Facts of life/

    While the club has reopened, it was oxy moron for them to make such a drastic change in the housefee WITHOUT having the clientele that will allow the girls to make the money back.

    Housefee at this club is now $125. If you don't make your housefee, they just add it on to the following night. The club just opened and there are already girls that owe a big bill. Its said that the housemom tells everyone that its mandatory to tip her $10!!! How the hell are you gonna expect a $10 from girls when they have to pay $125 housefee and there are no customers available to help them make that money back and then some?!?! And since when is it mandatory to tip a housemom unless you eat her food or have her do a favor for you????

    Girls are forced to go on stage during the entire shift even when there aren't even any customers. If you owe money on your housefee, you won't even get to see it once you get a customer in VIP because the club holds on to that money! Its doubtful this place will be open long unless they stop being so greedy and start making the housefee more reasonable so the girls can start making money.

    I've heard that they are going to legalize prostitution out here. Maybe they are grooming the girls? That way the girls will be used to prostituting in order to make back that high house - no way to make a profit with a fee like that from dancing. At least girls at the brothels get all their meals and everything for free plus a private room so they don't have to pay rent for an apartment. No way can someone make a profit to make dancing worthwhile with those kind of fees. I guess they must not charge any money to the custy's at all.
    BTW - Isn't that supposed to be a hip hop club that caters to people of African ancestry? To me that sounds like segregation with a smile. "Oh - we will just send all of the black girls to the club with the crazy house fees... Your own special club." I wonder what the NAACP would have to say about that?

    Just to confirm, I also heard DV Ultra Lounge is re-opening. Heard it on the radio saying that it is going to be a "Hip Hop Gentlemen's Club". I'm not even sure what that means, so they are going to play Hip Hop 24/7?

    People have been talking about legalizing prostitution in Vegas for decades, it probably won't happen.

    And just a side note, brothels not only take half of all your money, they also charge room and board.

    Also, $100+ house fees are not unheard of in Vegas.
