UPDATE: And... no. The Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting that since Gov. Steve Sisolak has ordered all non-essential businesses to close for the duration of the pandemic, Little Darlings sill bde biting the bullet and closing as well. That means no drive-up strip shows, and no nude hand-sanitizer wrestling, at least for the forseeable future.
LAS VEGAS, NV—There's no denying it: The economy of Las Vegas is hurting big-time, what with Gov. Steve Sisolak having ordered all non-essential businesses to close for 30 days. Casinos, nightclubs, even the Museum of Sex are closing for the month-long duration—all except Little Darlings Gentlemen's Club, which is remaining open in defiance of the governor's order.
According to local news reports, Ryan Carlson, Director of Operations for the club, said it will continue its 30-year tradition of offering nude dancing, though he said that the club will continue to abide by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "social distancing" guidelines.
And while club attendees won't be allowed to approach the dancers, those looking for an even greater separation will be able to take advantage of "drive-up" strip shows.
"We’re going to offer drive-up window strip shows," Carlson told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "Guests can drive up to the front door and we’re going to have dancers separate by the 6-foot separation rule and they can enjoy a totally nude show right from the seat of their car."
The drive-through shows have a pricetag: $100 for ten minutes—and tipping is encouraged, though patrons won't be able to stuff the bills into the dancer's bikini. Those shows will begin Friday evening, March 20.
The club recently made news by giving away bottles of hand sanitizer to patrons, but on Saturday, it will be taking such cleanliness to a new level.
"On Saturday, we’ll be doing nude XXX hand sanitizer wrestling," Carlson announced. "We have about 20 gallons of hand sanitizer, and we’re doing a cool nude hand sanitizer wrestling show."
Carlson added that the club is taking an "infinite number" of anti-disease-spreading precautions: "Hand sanitizing stations have been set up probably every 15 feet, and we’re taking everyone’s temperature at the front door. We’re doing hand washing with every entertainer and employee, probably every hour. This weekend we’re probably going to go to every 30 minutes. At the end of the day we’re complying with everything that’s been recommended by the CDC."
