My son turned 21 on 8-23-06. My husband & I took him and his friend to Vegas for three days to celebrate. One of the things he wanted to explore as a "coming of age," notch-on-his-belt experience was simply a lap dance at a Vegas strip club.....but he didn't do research prior to the trip.

He and my husband ended up at Can Can Room. They were charged $40 to get in, which my son paid for, and I guess that included two "free" drinks each. He then bought a private room for $200, which he thought would get him a private 1/2 hour lap dance with the girl of his choice. He also went to the ATM machine to get "tipping" money and was charged an outrageous terminal fee of $13.20 just to get the money to tip the dancers.

Once the room was secured, my husband left. After giving away the $40 tipping money and buying a few more (watered down???) beers at $5 a pop, and being constantly approached to see if he had selected a dancer, he chose one and proceeded to the room.
