The Playboy Club reopens in Vegas!!!

[zanner69]

LAS VEGAS — After nearly two decades in hibernation, the world's naughtiest bunny is ready to get hopping again.

The Playboy Club, a legendary brand that once defined hip but lost its cachet and disappeared in the 1980s, is about to rise again — this time to the 52nd floor of a new tower at The Palms Casino Resort.

The new $15 million hutch, which opens Oct. 6 with 80-year-old Playboy icon Hugh Hefner in tow, has nine blackjack tables and a roulette table and greets visitors with a Playboy sign made of 10,000 diamond-shaped crystals.

The dealers, all buxom women, will wear traditional bunny costumes, their male pit bosses will be draped in Hefner-style smoking jackets, and cocktail servers will don Roberto Cavalli-designed bunny outfits.

Price: $40,000. A night.

Here is some history on the Playboy Clubs:

http://www.playboy.com/worldofplayboy/faq/clubs.html#2

It's nice that the token club is being brought back in Vegas, but in Vegas, the Bunny uniform is not very different from any cocktail waitress uniform at any of the 50+ casinos. Yeah, the bunnies will no doubt be hotter, but the outfit will be similar. And you will get the same amount of action with them as you will with the cashier at Wal-Mart: none.

What was neat about the Playboy club, in its heydey, was that there were locations in just about every city. So, if you couldn't make it to Vegas to ogle scantily clad waitresses, you could go to the Playboy club near your office in Chicago, New York, etc.

It'd be nice if they could bring back that franchising aspect of it. It would be an upscale competition to Hooters.

Many many moons ago there used to be a Playboy club in Toronto.
Dufferin & Finch area

Wow, I can't wait to go! I bet it would be a fun place to work, and a great excuse to wear the bunny costume all the time

 

[Sexy Violet]

I do love being naked, but hey - who can resist the bunny... sometimes the elegant minimum can be more sexy than the completely bare!

I'll have to check it out when i'm down there in a few weeks. Vegas is the greatest town - must see for all.

Another feature of the old clubs was that most of them were franchises to local guys so you had a shot at the inside which was that all the bunnies were working ladies, mostly sans direct fees but for gifts, travel and keeping their jobs. I tried to get the Phoenix franchise when the clubs first opened but didn't have enough $$ at the time.

Quel Dommage as we say in California

Yawn. Playboy is so passe.

Yawn. Playboy is so passe.

taking a look at those pics at the kick-off party, I would disagree.

 

[Keebler Elf]

Please. I've seen better chicks in regular clubs in Toronto. If you think those chicks are all that and a bag of chips, you need to get out more.
