The Playboy Club Is Plopping a Mega-Palace on Manhattan

$25k annual membership. Well jack, maybe Juice can let us in as his guest.

A business run by a 26 year old rich kid. The old “ there’s a waitlist to buy memberships” scam. Sounds like that failed VIP festival in the Bahamas a couple years back.

I give it a year, max.

Who knows how it'll do but I think it has a high chance of failure - it's a different time and the scene today is very different from when Playboy was at the height of its powers - plus things that make a splash are usually something different and new, not a rehash of something old.

hope it works...

A Playboy club trying to be hip today feels analogous to a 50 y/o stripper trying to be the hot-chick she was in her 20s.

When the Playboy clubs started, they were edgy and hip. Cleavage ! Legs !

Now, Hooters is edgier than a Playboy Club.
