Politicians and activists looking to clean up Sin City (the municipality, not the studio) are going to have a fight on their hands: Vegas strippers aren't going to stop going bump in the night without a battle.
"This is an all-out assault on adult entertainment in the adult entertainment capital of the world," said Andrea Hackett, spokeswoman for the Las Vegas Dancers Alliance, as Clark County tries to enforce a ban on lap dances.
Prosecutors also want to keep strippers from performing for hire in hotel guests' rooms, and other authorities are said to be on the lookout for "lewd" behavior, Ananova.com reports.
"We feel that the hotels are nudging politicians here to take away our business so people will stay at the hotels and spend their money," Hackett told Wankus on the air at KSEXRadio.com Tuesday night. "They spent millions of dollars last year on a big city event to update all the lights of Las Vegas, and as I asked the city council recently, when a couple of business men in Chicago talk about going to Las Vegas, do you really think they sit around and say, 'hey, let's go to Vegas so we can see the lights?'"
The whole ado saw its genesis when Clark County Commissioner Yvonne Gates began beating the tom-toms to take lap dancing out of laps after an undercover police probe discovered lap dancing sometimes turned into sex, simulated or real for pay.
