Scores Las Vegas Gets Jolt of Positive PRWith millions more to descend upon Las Vegas for the 2007 World Series of Poker, a major beneficiary it turns out will likely be Scores Las Vegas. The strip club has gained national attention thanks to its most famous stripper,
Joslyn Noel Morse.
Morse was revealed as the female companion pictured with Alex Rodriguez entering a strip club there last weekend. The media in New York has been all over the
A-Rod bombshell.
The New York Post, which first displayed the photos of Joslyn Noel Morse and A-Rod, dug deeper to discover she last worked at Scores in Las Vegas. With all the Strip has to offer, it is easy for a strip club chain like Scores to get lost in the crowd, but due to the heavy press received, it is likely they will experience a boost to their business, at least in the short term.
Scores is a strip club that started out in Manhattan, New York City, and is one of several gentlemen's clubs which changed the face of adult entertainment in that city during the early 1990s and has gained wider notoriety and popularity mostly due to frequent mention by Howard Stern.
The club was a favorite party spot following UFC 71 last Saturday night.
Sonya Padgett last week profiled Sin City strippers for a piece appearing in the Las Vegas Review Journal.
"In Las Vegas, being an exotic dancer or stripper is, to many, just another job. But it comes with a lot of baggage, stereotypes that often are deserved, Rogalski says. Illegal drugs and dancers performing sex acts for money are two of the industry's biggest problems, she says. Then there's the stigma that comes from being associated with the field."
Though one stripper who works at Scores wouldn't divulge her income, she told The Review Journal that an experienced dancer can make $1,000 to $5,000 a night in the clubs.
Jenny Woo, a reporter for Gambling911.com, suggests that this range is very typical though many of these girls end up partying the money away. Woo has featured investigative reporting from within the realms of strip clubs.
Gambling911.com reporter Jenny Woo (seen here lounging on the roof top pool of the Gambling911 office) recently went undercover to discover that strippers typically will migrate to men with money - specifically celebrities like Alex Rodriguez and David Navarro. It is no surprise to Jenny Woo that someone like
Joslyn Noel Morse would gravitate towards A-Rod. "They could smell the money," Woo says of strippers who work in establishments such as Scores Las Vegas. |
"Cocaine is a major problem since a lot of these girls use the drug to keep them up at night so much of this money gets thrown away rather quickly," Woo says. "This is why so many of these girls have second jobs or are forced to latch onto sugar daddies like maybe A-Rod."
Woo's investigation unveiled a shocking discovery.
"Contrary to what you might read, a rather large percentage of these women will sleep with men for cash. I'm not saying this is the case with Joslyn Noel Morse and A-Rod, but you do the math based on A-Rod's salary to get a clue just how much he spends when entering these clubs."
When rock artist Dave Navarro entered one high end Miami area strip club a few months back, Woo observed all the strippers flock to him.
"They could smell the money," Woo says. "But I am the one who ended up spending it."
As part of Woo's investigation, she provided a mock lap dance for Navarro and bore two of her silicone infused breasts in order to simulate a fantasy. His gyrating suggested "approval" of pseudo dancer, Woo. He was the biggest spender of the night.
"I would guess that when A-Rod enters a strip club like Scores he is treated to the ultimate in VIP service and is probably the biggest spender of that evening. Morse can probably live a month off of a client like A-Rod, several months if she spends wisely."
As for Scores Las Vegas, they are no strangers to positive media attention. In 2006, SCORES Las Vegas was named the Winner of the "Best Club in The Southwest Region 2006" at the Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Award Show, "Best Gentlemen's Club of Las Vegas 2006" by the Las Vegas Review Journal and "Best Gentlemen's Club 2006" by the Las Vegas Weekly. And of course the Howard Stern Show has made Scores a mainstay among his listeners.
