Strip Club Reports

[JPF]

Sunday night of MLK weekend, Olympics Gardens was really quiet. I only counted 3 women working. The one stage was empty for about 10 minutes when I entered and then one of the 3 women went up to dance on it. Quieter than most weekday nights in the past so I left and went to Cheatahs which had it's normal 40+ women on hand.

The next night I went to Spearmint Rhino for the first time in years and it appears that the action has indeed moved over there. Probably 75+ women and it got quite crowded by 11pm. One dancer told me that hands may roam in the VIP rooms (3 songs for $100; 30 min for $200; plus a couple of even more expensive rooms) but I didn't go for it.

The last time I was in the Palamino club (a couple of years ago) I think it was $20 to get in and there was a sign that said no refunds. I thought, well I drove all the way out here I might as well go in. I sit down and there is a sign that says; 2 drink minimum. I order an MGD, 2 show up, $17 for the pair. Had about 4 dancers there, 3 weren't too bad. Dances were; topless $20, nude $40 per song.

The last I heard the entry was $30 and the dancers needed to retire or at least get false teeth, a real rip off.

The place was crap as far as I can remember. Restrictively expensive, kinda run down. Bad location.

I've only been there once and that was probably 20 years ago, back in the day of the Penguin Club just down the road. I used to pop in the Satin Saddle (I think it's called) across from the Jerry's Nugget. Nice and sleazy back then.

As far as the Penguin Club, which I believe is a parking lot now or perhaps a Walgreens's or some silly shit, it was mainly a bar that catered to the locals, most of whom were black drug dealers. I must have been the first white guy to walk in there in months with the general reaction I got. Imagine Animal House when the boys walk into the bar with Otis Day and The Nights as the house band...

You could hear a pin drop if not for the 6 guys and their hushed whispering at the end of the bar. After a few moments of quiet acknowledgement on all our parts of me standing out like a pink '68 Volkswagon at a Mercedes dealership, the immensley oversized black barmaid comes over and in her best attempt at not laughing says, "Y'all sure you be in the right place?" The tone was one that would be used if I had drunk-stumbled into a women's restroom.

"I appreciate you pointing that out to me, ma'am - have a good evening."

When did the Palomino close? With them being grandfathered in and allowing alcohol and full nudity, I would think they would never close. Too precious of a license to be had and I would think the address would lose that right if they closed. Perhaps not?

Really though, you are correct. Full nude AND alcohol. The place ought to have offered shuttles to the strip and downtown. Ought to have advertised. Place would have made money hand over fist.

Ripley's was within the Four Queens, way in the back.

I didn't realize Palomino was closed, but those type places, they were terrible. You had to tip the maitre d, if not he'd seat you in the back row. i remember putting up a buck on the stage and the girl just came over and picked it up and did nothing for it.

i think we've all learned the hard way, they just suck up your money and give you almost nothing in return.

I know where RIpley's was - my question was about the name of the little dive joint around that area. Tiger Tail or something like that. It was your old-style local dive t!ttie joint that you could find your favorite change girl working a 2nd job in.

Seems like the only club being mentionned in the Fremont area is the Gulch. Is there another one in the area? This is the first trip in many years. Any recommendations. I've never stayed downtown before.

Do your homework here, read on down. You can really get burned at some of these clubs.

Not too far from downtown.

Palomino's a little bit beyond "downtown". Is the Satin Saddle, just south of the Palomino still there? It used to be a nice little, cheap & sleezy t!ttie joint.

Knowing it's been gone for many, many years but does anyone remember the little dive a block south of Fremont? I think it became the old RIpley's or something. Wastrel - you should know this...

Palomino, which is the only club in Vegas to have alcohol and full nudity. Take a taxi, but I remember the place being expensive.

Actually, its not too far by taxi to any of the strip clubs, but you pay through the nose going in. Maybe $30 cover.
