re: LVAC discrimination:
ReplyDeleteCome on, I'm an attorney living in Vegas, and know, understand, and accept the business realities of providing lower costs for different target markets to increase the number of that target market that use the business.
I really hate to see a holier-than-though California attorney coming to Vegas thinking he needs to bring the legal and regulatory ways of California with him. There is a reason Californians migrate to Nevada - to avoid all of that crap.
LVAC, night clubs, and other entities that deal with sexuality, either outright like night clubs, or subtle like the LVAC, should be able to skew their client base as they see fit in terms of male/female ratio. It is a known fact that women do not flock to where the men are, but that men flock to where the women are - we're built that way. I don't like sausage fests either, nor do other straight men. I very much prefer my workouts with other women present so I can justify not doing something else productive while I run on the hamster wheel other than observing my surroundings. It makes me want to work out that much more at LVAC, and exactly what they want as a business.
So come on Mr. California lawyer, we don't need you spilling your over regulated, over-lawyered ways over to Nevada. Go away.
