| - So the wife and I passed by this bar and debated whether or not to go. This was really my first vacation in Vegas, and my whole goal for the trip was "Don't get got". For those who ain't hip to what that means, in a nutshell it means "Don't get taken advantage of". Like for instance when we ate at the Cathouse and came to find out we were charged $6 each for water, that broke my "Don't get got" rule...LOL.
So the fee was $25 each to get in, which included a coat, hat, gloves, and one drink. So we're $50 in....and I'm already starting to regret the decision as I'm putting on the coat. Then we're told that we aren't allowed to take pictures inside, but they do have a photographer that can take photos of us for a fee. Crap. They got my ass.
Went inside and there were only four other people in there. There's about 8 different drinks you can choose from. I will say that the drinks weren't weak so that's a plus. The wife wanted a photo so we ponied up the $12 for a photograph. I sat there trying to slowly sip my drink to make it last...when it finally hit me. This is the best gimmick in the world. You pay the money to get in, you aren't going to stay in there but so long because it's cold, and then you leave so they can herd the next suckers in.
I'm kind of torn about our time there. On the one hand, its a unique experience that you won't get to have anywhere else. On the other hand, I feel like it wasn't really worth the money. But like my wife said, we experienced it and now we know what its like, so we don't ever have to go back again.
