So...went to the Spearmint Rhino while in Vegas with my hubby about two weeks ago. (I posted before our trip here: ) I was so looking forward to a night of sexy fun with my husband, but it didn’t end up being that way at all, and I’m trying to figure out if this was just an off night or what.
We walked in, and they sat us in a corner booth where we couldn’t see the main stage, which kinda sucked, but whatever. We were approached in less than five minutes by three girls—two who came up together, which seemed a little weird to me (one for my husband and one for me, I guess?), and another who asked if we wanted a dance without so much as a smile. I politely explained that we’d just arrived and wanted to relax & have a few drinks first. I felt like I needed a minimum of two drinks and 30 minutes to relax, take it all in, and get my bearings a little. So, we order a drink, and it’s about this time that my husband & I start realizing we are the only people there who are not getting a dance out on the floor. Literally, the ONLY ONES THERE! It automatically made me feel awkward and uncomfortable, like we were doing something wrong to just want to chill, drink, watch (and of course tip), and get comfortable before waving someone over to join us, with the idea that if all went well we could move to the VIP room.
Another put-off was that the guys at all the tables around us were being REALLY aggressive and rough with the girls—swinging them around, putting their legs up on their shoulders, dipping them so low that sometimes they actually fell over, etc.—stuff I totally wouldn’t have thought would be OK with the bouncers for a floor dance. It was sloppy-looking, and it felt more like we were at a late-night fraternity party than a strip club.
Anyway, I was just wondering...
1) Is this kind of stuff typical? I’ve been to a SC before but in a different setting—with a big group of people, not just my husband & me, and it was nothing like this. The Spearmint Rhino is supposed to be one of the “classier” clubs in Vegas, and yet it felt more like a frat house than a strip club. Are guys usually so rough with the girls out on the floor, and everyone just looks the other way? Or did we just happen to be there on an extremely rowdy night?
2) Is it OK to take some time to drink, watch, tip, etc. without having someone join you? I’ve never felt like I was doing something wrong more in my entire life than at the Rhino! If it is OK to take some time to get comfortable, then how do I make it clear that I want/need some time to enjoy some liquid courage and soak everything in before asking someone to join us?
My hubby & I had both been fantasizing about this awesome night for so long, and I was really disappointed that it didn’t turn out even remotely as fun as I’d expected. We would've had more fun continuing our winning streak at the blackjack tables. We’re thinking of venturing out to a club around town on some random night, but I don’t want a repeat experience of Vegas. Any advice?
