The things you see on TV in Vegas

There was an ad for Deja Vu Showgirls that claimed, "If you take a
taxi or limo, make sure they take you to Deja Vu - taxi and limo
drivers are paid up to $80 to divert customers to other clubs". What's
the real story?

From what has appeared in the newspaper, that is true. The club
doorman give a "tip" to the cabbie for delivering people. That means
when you get into an LV taxi and say, "Take me to the Olive Garden," the
driver will automatically go into his speil; "Nobody goes there,"
"The place isn't safe," "The girls at XXX Club are ten times hotter,"
or, "Let me take you to a really GOOD place."

The idea is that the driver takes you to a club that pays him a generous
tip for bringing in fresh customers. The more people, the bigger the
tip. This is true as well for limo drivers.

Also, be aware that many doormen at even the best casino hotels are also
on the take, from what I hear. If a group of guys show up and want a
taxi, the doorman will inquire about their destination. If it's a strip
club or other similar attraction, he'll "suggest" that you get a LIMO-
and most of the time the limo will be "free." The limo driver tips the
doorman for diverting you, and then gets 1) usually a generous tip from
the riders and, 2) a great tip from the strip club where he then takes
or diverts you to.

And when you get to the Olive Garden, make sure to ask for their unlimited
soup of the day.

Now that you've brought it up and I thought it through, it also explains
why that waitress at Olive Garden had me tossed out for stuffing a
dollar bill in her shorts

I picked up a one time, in Portland, by mistake.

She was hitch-hiking, that's how she met her Johns.

Had a business card with a phone number and a picture of a rose.

Wierd chick.

Spearmint and Sapphire are currently charging $30 admission per person
and paying the cabbies $50 per head. Nearly all the others still pay
but I don't know how much. Massage places pay cabbies, even furniture
stores believe it or not (A friend of mine is a cabbie who relocated to
Vegas about 3 years ago)

I am even amazed myself.

I have never been in a strip club in Vegas.

Does $30 get any drinks? A place here in Dallas used to charge $20
cover but included two drinks

OG used to do that, but, sadly the $30 cover includes no drinks. There
are some free drink coupons circulating around, though for Sapphires and
Treasures. Maybe others I didn't see.
