Since the beginning of time, it has been the dream of men everywhere to ogle trashy women in the open sunlight and not have to hide in the darkened lairs of strip clubs. Thanks to the Rio and Sapphire Strip Club, this dream became a reality at the Sapphire Pool . . . until yesterday.According to the RJ:
The Rio has indefinitely closed its adult-themed Sapphire Pool after it failed an "integrity check" by Las Vegas police on Saturday, the property's owner confirmed late Tuesday.
The Rio wouldn't explain to the RJ what "failed an integrity check" means. Las Vegas Metro was not as reluctant to comment:
Several women were arrested by undercover officers on charges of prostitution at
Sapphire Pool this weekend, according to Metro. The activity over the weekend caused the strip club-branded pool to close for two days and and the subsequent suspension of European-style sunbathing for the remainder of the season, said Rio spokeswoman Deanna Pettit.“There were several arrests for prostitution,” officer Bill Cassell of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department said. “We do this all over the valley every day. It was just their day.” (Daily Fiasco)
Let's take a second and bow our heads for the men who's dreams are now dashed. [hat tip to WD on finding the story]
Is there no God?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to realize that with the 8th's f'd up civil calendar, the traffic, the lack of parking, and the ridiculous rulings, that there is no longer any reason for us more civilized Reno attorneys to come down to LV to practice.
I mean....NOW there is no reason. Thanks LVPD.
@ 10:15 "more civilized Reno attorneys" -- Word!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the kickbacks are drying up. Otherwise, I can't imagine why Nevada law enforcement is getting so uppity about things that have been going on in Vegas, since, well ... Vegas.
ReplyDelete@10:41, can you paint with any broader brush?
ReplyDeleteTopless pools, as far as I can tell, are a relatively recent innovation (Caesar's Palace in the 90's). Inviting strippers to topless pools by co-branding with a "gentleman's club" are even more recent.
Given the novelty of the setting, Metro can root out prostitution from these venues without any appearance of hypocricy.
LasVegasNow just put up the thumbnail photos of the females that were arrested on solicitation of prostitution at the Rio 'Sapphire' Pool.
