    Default OMG! What's happened to Vegas?

    So I went on a work trip to Vegas last week for a convention. There were three clubs I had always wanted to work at (I've only worked at Spearmint Rhino-which is one of them). As CH2 is closed, I went first to check out OG. As a customer with a colleague (sometimes heavy flirt buddy) of mine. Dead. Dead. Dead. Thursday night, with many conventions in town. You can see into the club behind the cashier. We didn't even bother to pay and go in. The girls were just huddled in groups and barely any guys.

    Then to Spearmint Rhino. Busy. About as busy as when I worked there for a week in both Jan and March 05. But the girls!! First- no asses. On anyone!! Everyone was either a stickfigure or 'healthy' (which in the world of looks means slightly heavy). No one had a toned, nice skinny but not stickthin, body. Plus- here's the kicker- and what inspired me to write this post-

    Not a single person approached me in the almost an hour I was there!! I did get up to go to the bathroom and right when I was going out of sight looked at my colleague who was just saying no to a girl and having another one come up to him.

    I came in to spend over a hundred dollars. But in an hour, not one person even made eye contact with me other than the cocktail waitress!

    When I see a girl in my club, I make a beeline right to her. Unless she has a nasty disposition and clearly doesn't want to be there- either she's willing to spend something- or her hubby/boyfriend wants to watch her get a dance.

    Any by the way- it's not as if I'm ugly or anything of the sort- on my way to the bathroom I had two-TWO- guys stop me to ask me for a dance. And I was wearing capris and a tank top!

    Craziness. Esp when two girls sit next to me on the couch and start talking about how nobody was buying dances from them...

    Damn that sucks.. not surprising for the Rhino though. I've heard the same complaints from other women. If I were a dancer there I'd love going up to the women, they're such a nice change from the gropey men.

    I'm taking my man to scores for his b-day so I hope girls will come up to me because I want to buy lots of dances.

    Last month I was in LV and hit three clubs on a Sunday night : OG, StripTease, and (don't laugh) The Gulch. OG & StripTease were slow, but I got approached for dances. The Gulch was busy, and I was hit up ALOT. I guess it just depends on timing (and the occasional solar flare)

    Same thing happened to me. My male companion got bombarded with girls. BUT, I personally don't care. I would rather approach dancers I like anyway, no ego trip "seduction fantasy" for me....

    I dunno- I'm bi and I don't even approach women for dances ever. I don't know who's there to have fun or just wants to be left alone. Also at my club alot of the dancers have their friends come in to keep them company....I don't bother to risk it.

    I think OG has gone down alot in the last few years. It was busy as hell when I worked there in 2000-2001 (pre-9/11). New clubs have come in since then and spread the megaclub business thinner, plus I hear OG mgmt hasn't been taking care of the place.

    SR still has a decent rep so I guess that keeps them in business for the time being, but if the quality of girls is in decline, that will change soon enough.

    Keep in mind also, this is still not the busy season. There may have been some conventions, but this isn't really Vegas' busy time. Plus, LV clubs are highly dependent on cabbie bribes to bring in custies, no matter what they say about putting a stop to that - the club that pays the highest cabbie kickback will be the one with the most business.

    Finally, LV hasn't been The Big Time it makes itself out to be, for a long time.

    Bridgette is absolutely correct on both counts.

    In fact over Labor Day weekend, I had a cabbie offer to take me to Scores through the back-door for free. I told him 3-times "no that's ok." He was shaking his head like I was nuts. I walked up and didn't even have to pay cover...LMAO. I'd probably would have had to pay the cabbie $30 otherwise to get in. My cab ride was like $8.00...LOL.

    In fact I haven't paid cover at Scores the last 2-trips now.

    On my cab ride to OG the cabbie tried to steer me to Sheri's Cabaret. He said that he sometimes tells cab customers that OG is closed if they ask to go there (Bad cabbie! Bad cabbie!). Another club he tried to "talk up" was Diamond Caberet. Never been to either, but I might check them out next month when I'm back in town. Always wanted to try a nude club in LV.

    Diamond Cabaret is dead. You might be the only customer in there. The nude clubs in LA probably offer more of what you guys are looking for.

    I was there specifically for the Vision Expo West at the Sands. There were three other conventions going on there too. Plus I was staying at the Bellagio and had to use their business center by their room (my suite's fax was unreliable for some reason) and they had a few things going on as well.

    You can go to the Las Vegas Convention website and see the conventions for the year and the anticipated attendance.

    Many girls don't travel to work conventions until the estimated total attendance for all the conventions for the week is over 80,000-100,000 people or so.

    The clubs aren't pulling as many target age visitors (age 35-65) who go to the clubs alone (which makes them easier to sell) as in the late 90's.

    The best convention for strip club attrendance is CES, which is the first week of January, and the clubs are all flooded with girls.

    There's a few clubs paying cabbies now. It was just a matter of time until that little "agreement" was broken. From the vibe I get through the city right now though is that many management decisions are driving customers away. With CH2 closing up the clubs hired every dancer willing to pay a $100 house fee. So many clubs are getting over-saturated with dancers and I've heard from a lot of them that the managers are letting every staff member in the club shake-down the dancers for every penny which makes everyone really pissy. This, of course, trickles down to the customers. I've also heard of a lot of manager club-hopping lately too which means new policies, new prices, new rules, etc. Again, this then starts to affect the customers.

    I wan't aware that there are 'god' conventions and 'bad' conventions. But they were there...

    My cab driver to SR had seen me walk in and right out of OG. I had to literally convince him to take me to Spearmint vs treasures, the club he was pushing.

    I tried to go to scores last night (as a customer) and it was so packed there was like no where to park! So I went to Treasures (didn't like), club paradise (had fun there) and then OG's (OMG you wouldn't believe what one dancer said to my boyfriend when I went to the bathroom!)

    OG's was pretty busy for a monday night.

    Regarding OGs, let me guess, she told him that she'd blow him in VIP? Sorry to be so crued, but I used to work there and heard this ALL THE TIME. Nasty place.

    yeah basically, but she said "hey baby you want me to rock your cock?" and tried to grab his penis but he blocked her and said "no, thanks."

    How long did u last there? I'd imagine it'd be hard to compete (being a clean girl) with that kind of shit.

    Oh yes. Some suck. I recall the Magic convention sucked ass - they just filled the clubs full of cheapasses who would agree to dances then argue about paying I've never had good luck with doctors conventions either - in any city. In New Orleans even the panhandlers bitched about the doctors LOL!!

    But techie, financial/insurance, auto conventions are usually good. Also anything where there will be people selling large equipment/items (ie, large price tags that generate large sales commissions ).

    The Olympia (bodybuilding competition) expo will be at the convention center on Sept 29th/30th. I'm sure Vegas will be crawling with testosterone filled men. Yeah, I'll be there too

    I'm surprised she said that with you there, normally they wait for you to leave. The girl at OG's was a lot more vulgar than that and they sneakily over charged my b/f's credit card by an extra $60 (for drinks), I guess they thought they could charge his cc with an extra tip for themselves
