| - My boyfriend and I decided to go here on a recent trip to Vegas. We've been to other clubs, (strip, swingers, dance, whatever), and read the reviews before going; they are all over the place, so we sort of decided on a 'let's see for ourselves' approach, although he was more optimistic, whilst my Spidey-senses were tingling.
Overall, we were disappointed. There were some REALLY nice employees there, and a few that were 'meh' but not objectionable. The décor was kitschy and dated, but what you would probably expect. We went on a Friday night, and thought the music and atmosphere would be interesting, but the ratio of men to women was VERY high, the average age is realistically 40's and many look older, and the music... well, let's just say my idea of sensuality does not extend to an entertainer who is a cross between Engelbert Humperdink and Neil Diamond. I swear to God, the MC was their lost love child. The only thing he had going for him was at one point he played Nine Inch Nails, but most of the music wasn't anything to be impressed with and really catered to people in their 50's or older.
Porn was playing, and store bought food and snacks were there, which is what you would expect and not bad. An outdoor area allowed you some respite from inside, and was the only place you could use cell phones. Layout wise, there was a communal room with a bunch of beds and several private rooms. There was a lot of ethnic diversity (blacks, Latinos, Caucasians were all there in fair numbers), and the place looked clean, (granted the light was pretty dim). A few people were in various states of undress, and the upstairs area for couples was a nice touch.
What was a bummer was there was little sensuality, and a lot of people seemed to see it more as a social club as opposed to anything else - then it shouldn't be trumpted as a swinger's place. It seemed more akin to a local favourite that indulged visitors but was more for regulars; a sort of curiosity for tourists.
I want to give the RR more than two stars, but there's no inducement. You've only paid $20 for a couple, get a little to gnosh on, and BYOB means you don't pay a premium for drinks, so that's all a plus, but... the music isn't great, the atmosphere is 'okay', there's nothing titillating except for some mediocre porn, the people watching is alright, but... what really draws you there, except that you've visited a Las Vegas institution? To be fair there were only one or two guys there that felt somewhat pervy, (I've been to other places that were far worse), and people on the whole were accommodating and non-plussed. If you want to go for the experience, to say you went, fine; but with better music you might bring in a young, livelier crowd, and nice touches might make it more sensual and add more excitement. Now it feels like it's resting on its laurels or coasting. If we are in Vegas next year we might go by again because someone told us a lot depends on the night, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
