Strip clubs hope to take advantage of tourney crowds

PROVIDENCE—The NCAA tournament is in town and among the businesses taking advantage are strip clubs.
Elaina has been dancing at the Foxy Lady in Providence for about a year. The tournament means big pay days for her.
“It means a lot. This week is a big week. People are coming from everywhere to down here. It's crazy. Everyone's having a great time and you make a lot of money,“ she said.
The Foxy Lady took out a full-page ad in Thursday's special NCAA tournament promotional section of The Providence Journal. Other strip clubs paid for smaller ads.
For the dancers, college sports fans make the best customers.
“Lots of guys come in and they want to see pretty girls. We give them great service. Everybody's in a good mood,“ said Triana, who also dances at the Foxy Lady.
Tom Tsoumas, the owner of the Foxy Lady, said he's got plenty of dancers for the big crowds.
“We're going to be having 60 entertainers working all the time the whole weekend,“ he said.
Other strip clubs in Providence are also hoping to cash in on the crowds visiting the city.
