Crazy Horse Too: Back and Almost the Same

01:41 PM PT, Oct 19 2006

The Crazy Horse Too is open again under new management. Yesterday, according to the Review-Journal, "the Las Vegas City Council granted Mike Signorelli, owner of the Golden Steer Steakhouse, a new liquor license for the topless club earlier in the day. Club owner Rick Rizzolo and 16 employees who pleaded guilty to federal charges this summer will be barred from the property."

The club wasted no time. A dancer friend of mine got a call that afternoon from Crazy Horse Too. The club waved the $65 house fee that dancers have to pay to work on a Wednesday night.

Curious, she went in to work. She says that there were many customers happy to see the club reopened and others, the usual tourists, who were unaware it had ever been closed. Still, compared to a typical Wednesday night at the Crazy Horse Too she says it was slow. Fortunately for her, she said only about half the number dancers who would usually be working were there: "I made $300 in four hours. Not bad for a Wednesday."

Crazy Horse Too must be happy with the business too, because she was told house fees for dancers would be back on for tonight. She said that while none of the infamous 17 (including Rizzolo) were present, she saw mostly familiar faces in the ranks of management and employees. Otherwise, she saw no evidence of new ownership at all. "There might have been a couple new door men or something," she said.

Thank goodness it's open again. The thought of enduring another lonely night alone in Las Vegas without a decent lap dance anywhere -- it's been almost too much to bear.

Great blog. I'm a vegas degenerate and I always dig inside info. Also, I lost my favorite hat at the Crazy Horse. An austrailain chick named Morgan may have it. Please keep you eyes open.

So many years of stuff to write a book. After 8 years of working there, I got a tear in my eye after
finding out all that's happened since then. I will keep my memories.

I will remember the memories too Leilani, you were the best!!
