* It would not bother me if casinos
had adult clubs, it is something that I do not go to when I am in Vegas and it
would not have any impact on myself. Ann G.
* I think it would be a great idea.
It would bring a higher class to an industry that could use an image
uplifting. Roger CA
* Hi! I thought this was an
interesting question--especially when I looked at it from the previous
angle. No one ever questioned the casinos when they put theme parks and
massive game rooms in their casinos, did they? Many people didn't and
still don't like the "family" aspect of Las Vegas, but Steve Wynn
proved that more people come to Vegas for the shows and entertainment than any
other part of the entertainment equation! After the success of some of
the newer Gentleman's clubs that have opened recently around town I would
guess that if the casinos didn't "keep up" that they'd be
walking a major portion of this business to establishments outside of their
properties. I would also venture to guess that this could be big
business for them at some of the major conventions--conventions where the
attendees are known not to be big gamblers! I would also venture to
guess that IF some of the major properties did this that it would be done in a
very upscale and low key manner. They don't call Vegas "Sin
City" for nothing! Jean H
* Yes the Casinos should be able to have
adult clubs. In Sin City it is ridiculous that to go to an adult club you have
to go the the sleezeeee part of town or to Freemont Street, but there are some
that would consider Freemont Street SLeezeeeee. The clubs could be discreetly
located where they would not be offensive to those that are offended by such
activity. eaglepointone
* No. Rndfinch
* It isn't what it used to be..
where is the glamour, beautifully dressed people.. I had been out of the USA
and returned after 11 years. Took a trip to see some beautiful hotels with
people dressed in sweats and children. Get back the glamour.... nice
clubs restaurants and no children would be classic. sheran
* I think that it would create a new revenue for the casinos, but
with the amount of monies that the casinos already take in. You would have to
wonder if it would be worth the risk of bringing the bad element that comes
along with exotic dancing clubs into the casinos, most of the public including
the elderly population just want to have fun in Vegas and exotic clubs could
drive them away, so is it worth the risk, I say no because revenue is revenue
and if you have a steady stream don't rock the boat. Richard Western

I think that as Las Vegas is really an adult area already, (kids not allowed
in casino's etc) and adult clubs would make little or no difference to most
visitors. Children mainly frequent the shows that are there to attract them so
why not have something other than gambling, to attract the more adult of
us? I personally would not visit (wife is looking over my shoulder while
I reply lol) but do tend to lean towards adult fun now I am out of short
trousers. Anyway, I understand that there are many adult "get
together's" including adult webmaster seminars so I doubt if much will
change in that respect. So... yes I think there should be adult areas, but
keep them discreet and organized with constant checks by police and what ever
government authorities happen to run Las Vegas. StevieBee Norfolk UK *
I think that the Casinos should have Adult Clubs on their property.
Casinos are mostly for Adults, and as such should give the adults what they
want. I do not think that the Adult Clubs should be next to the main
entrance of the casino or on the ground floor, but like most of the casino's
show they, should be upstairs in a more private area. This way the the
casino should not offend those who would not like to go or feel bad by being
near such entertainment. Las Vegas has been a long time favorite, as a
place where adults like to vacation, and lately more and more attention have
been given to the town for a FAMILY place to vacation. I believe you can have
both, you should not throw away the old customers to get some new ones, lets
keep both.; David
* Yes, adult clubs should be included in casinos. I
can't imagine why not. Currently most of these clubs are located in
questionable neighborhoods. Casino properties would probably profit liberally
from the inclusion of such entertainment for their guests who seek it, and
making it available for those interested would keep them on the premises,
rather than having to leave in order to seek such properties in outlying
areas. The clubs should be located sensitively away from the main activities
to avoid offending those who would not be interested. The casinos would, no
doubt, make the cover charge fairly steep in an effort to eliminate some
unwanted element. I, personally, would not
be interested in such entertainment, but would not be offended knowing such
clubs are located in areas off the beaten track in the casinos.

* It would depend on what type of
"activity" their ultimate goal is. If it's to encourage prostitution
with the help of "liquid courage" then I say no. There are
already places for that and with the amount of children now in Las Vegas I
don't think it's appropriate. Las Vegas used to be a place for adults to kick
back and have some fun. I imagine the original marketing plan was to bring
more revenue to Nevada by making it a "family friendly" atmosphere.
Now, I think the "family friendly" idea has back fired since they
(the casinos and hotels) feel there is a need to have "adults only"
clubs. Personally, I don't understand why parents expose their kids to certain
activities that are apparent in Las Vegas. If they hadn't tried to turned Las
Vegas into a "family friendly" atmosphere in the first place, (which
I'm sure was purely for monetary gain) then the need for these "adults
only" clubs wouldn't be an issue. Lucy C
* Well well the big boys just figured
out that big money I mean big money is being generated by the strip clubs
off the strip. So they finally figured out that they may as well dip there
beaks. I say why not. Vegas is after all and adult Mecca. isn't
it? Watcherboy * I
think that the large casinos should be allowed to have adult clubs. The
larger casinos are cleaner and classier, and I am sure this would spill
over into the clubs. This type of club would cater to the higher class
individual and would possibly force the questionable establishments to clean
up or risk loosing clientel. I am sure the adult entertainers would be
treated better by the establishment and the clientel, and would make better
money. Thanks - Pam Blackburn *
Bad idea women (wives) don't enjoy the hookers hanging around there would be
even more with adult clubs in casinos. There is enough sex clubs there
anyway. Get rid of those peddlers with the pamphlets too. The garbage all over
the streets make Vegas look like the city dump. Walter J Zytnowski *
Hi Richard. The adult clubs are not a bad idea for
the casinos. It is entirely up to the individual if they want to go to this
type of club or not. People are on vacation and should be enjoying themselves
in whatever form of entertainment that they would like. Thanks,
Richard Have a Happy New Year Bev
