EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Basically it's a single male tourist trap that leaves them feeling ripped off for $100. There is some slim chance genuine swinging couples might meet other couples here - and I'd suggest they move quickly into the couples-only area.

THE UGLY DETAILS: In the Commercial Center strip mall, just a few blocks east of the currently dark Sahara casino property on East Sahara Avenue. Accordingly this can be a cheap, quick cab ride from the Strip. Even at 5am in the morning, there was a queue of several cabs waiting to try to catch a fare out of this place, though they queued up at the very far end of the mall. The Commercial Center is a well aged, low-rent square-shaped strip mall where all the properties face inward toward one another, rather than facing out to the streets. Though it's low-rent, there are other venues of interest to Vegas tourists inside Commercial Center, including Lotus of Siam (once considered the best Thai in town), Fantasy Swingers Club (another smaller lifestyle venue) and Badlands Saloon, a teeny-weeny gay bar.

I arrived at about 3am Saturday night/Sunday morning. That might be a little "off-peak," but not exactly the slow time of the week, either. There was a line with about 3 couples and a dozen single males waiting to pay. The door fee is around $50 for couples, $100 for single men and it looks to me that there's almost zero chance those prices are negotiable.
