Wrong side of the Trade

Not only are my S&P shorts underwater, I did some Stripper Math according to yesterday’s article about Sapphire’s in Vegas

Just a little math to chew on:
400 girls @ $60/night house fee is $24,000/night revenue from house fees alone. Open for business 365 days a year

That is $8,760,000 in house fee revenue annually

Now, not every night has 400 girls working.

Lets lowball it:

If 100 girls are working every night that is $6,000/night in housefees or $2,190,000 collected annually from house fees

If 200 girls are working every night that is $12,000/night in housefees or $4,380,000 in collected annually from house fees

And that is without ever selling a drink, collecting a door fee, or funny money fees.

That is just ONE club.

I orginally posted this Stripper Math Blog in Sept 2007

A little quick math indicates just how important strip clubs are to the overall economy of Las Vegas.*

There are over 40 strip clubs in Las Vegas.  A large club  like The Spearmint Rhino easily has over 500 total dancers trickle in through it’s doors in any 24 hour time period.  Granted, it is one of the larger clubs  in Clark County; as is Sapphires, Scores, and Olympic Gardens.  Some of the smaller lounges like Play it again Sam, Glitter Gultch, and Leopard Lounge may only have 50 total dancers in a 24 hour period.

So, lets take a lowball estimate that each strip club has a daily average of 100 dancers working during a 24 hour period.

100 dancers/day  x 40 clubs

Lets really lowball the average take home pay of a Las Vegas stripper and say $350.  All strippers have good nights ($2500) and bad nights (didn’t make enough to cover house fee)

100 dancers x 40 clubs x $350 = 1.4 Million Dollars

Yep, thats right.  $1.4 million dollars in cold hard cash is slipped into g-strings in a single day.  Strip clubs are open 24/7/365.

$4.1 million dollars x 365 = $511 million per year

This is just in Las Vegas, NV.  Last time I checked, there were strip clubs in New York, San Francisco, Miami, and even Bozeman, MT.

The house always wins.
