    Yeah, but only in bars that are quiet as far as I can remember.

    I did that too with disastrous results...

    I picked up a beer bar lady and she said she would like to have a drink at a Soi 6 bar where her friend worked. It was late at night and the bar was devoid of customers, only 2 workers, so I rang the bell.....

    Immediately, a dozen bar girls from the bars next door ran in and enjoyed a drink on me...

    Head off to "Summerlin" or "Henderson" and the locals tell me these are really nice communities for a retirement or second home etc. 

    Don't forget far North Las Vegas! Less traffic than either Summerland or Henderson.

    BTW, which resort had the Buddha statue? I might take my TW there.

    I'll be having a look around Las Vegas soon enough for a potential residency of another kind and see what sort of an impression I get.

    I now live in North Vegas full time and I love it!

    Of course, mine won't be along the Strip

    In one year I have to the strip 1 time to visit my sister who visited. 

    My house is literally within walking distance to a local Casino/Hotel so there is no reason to fight the traffic and tourists.

    This is a question of how you are using the word "brothel."  In the conventional sense, a customer in a brothel picks a girl and she is will provide sexual services for him.  The brothel owner keeps part, often most, of the fee the customer pays. That's understood when the customer enters the brothel.

    I used to live in Reno NV, and my friend was a bartender in the Mustang Ranch, and I did know several women who worked there, and that's not how it worked.

    All of the Girls were independent contractors and they paid the owner a set fee for every customer they took to their room, and were free to charge as much as they wanted.

    The dynamics are entirely different in a go go bar.  The customer pays to take the girl out of bar; what happens between then is up to the two of them.

    It's the same. I go to a bar or brothel, I select a girl, we have a discussion about the amount and what services they will do and then I say yes or no.

      The bar owner gets no cut of the girls' fees for sexual services.  The go go dancer also has more freedom to accept or reject customers.

    Come on, its he same! management and the girls both make money off the customer, and there is no requirement that a girl must go with a specific customer.

    Granted, a brothel's purpose is clearer than a Go Go bar, but not by much.

    I'm not saying the girls in brothels are forced to take customers, but they wouldn't be employed by the brothel if they weren't willing to accept just about any customer who walks through the door.  That's the whole purpose of a brothel.

    OK, we can agree that a Go Go bar is both a brothel and bar.

    I guess we've been talking to different bar owners.  All the go go bar owners I've spoken with have said the revenue from drinks far exceeds bar fines.  They earn a lot more from the girls remaining in the bar than leaving with a customer. 

    OK, I agree that drinks do make up the largest percentage of a bars revenue, but barfines do make a significant amount of revenue.

    Also keep in mind that a customer who is willing to pay 2,000 baht or more to take the girl out provides more revenue for the bar than two customers willing to pay an 800-baht bar fine.  The same principle applies to drinking customers.  One who runs up a tab of 5,000 baht yields as much revenue as 20 who have tabs of 250 baht.

    I agree with that, but its not an either - or situation. IMHO, one of the reasons that there are so many girls in bars is they can enjoy both streams of revenues.

    The purpose of a high bar fine has always been to discourage punters from "taking out" the girls early in the evening. When posters on forums or FB groups write something like, "That's crazy!  I'll never pay x,xxxx baht for a bar fine," it just proves the tactic is working.

    Working? I agree that no owner wants most of his girls to leave early, but the owners I have talked to have told me that bar fines are a major revenue stream for the bar.

    A go go bar is not a brothel, nor is a lady drink a down payment on a bar fine.  Most customers go go to watch the girls on stage and perhaps buy a few lady drinks.  They aren't worried about high bar fines because they have no intention of bar fining.  One experienced go go owner told me he figures only about 20% of his customers ever bar fine.

    Again I would disagree. +

    You have owners who put the girls on stage and are available for a price - Sounds like a Brothel to me.

    Ok, each girl can say yes or no, but most are working there for the chance to be barfined.

    However, some visitors are willing to pay high bar fines, particularly Asian customers.  It's clear budget-oriented farang may feel left out, but the demographics of Pattaya's visitors have changed considerably in the past 10-15 years.  High bar fines are here to stay because they are good for overall go go business.

    Hank the Tank, an enormous black bear who’s developed a raging appetite for human food, is facing possible euthanasia after breaking into more than two dozen homes in a gated South Lake Tahoe (California USA) neighborhood over the past seven months.

    The 500-pound bear has broken windows, smashed through front doors and ransacked garages in search of food, authorities say. He’s undeterred by efforts to “haze” him away from food with sirens, tasers and beanbag shots...

    I used to have a house at Lake Tahoe, and one night, I heard a loud noise, and when I investigated, it was a bear trying to break the front door! After lots of very loud shouts and noises, it did run away with significant damage tot he door.

    What a beautiful car - I love that crisp, clean, understated '90s styling, so tasteful compared to the bulbous blobs they are marketing today; mind you, I am biased as I own an E36 325i from the same era...

    One of my favorite cars that I have owned was a BMW 633.

    That car was sex on wheels....

    Too much luck in football betting, horses are a far better medium to make money

    My problem with the pony's is the Vig. Football has less than 3%, while the pony's have 25% plus.

    Public health officials and state and city leaders in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Chicago and elsewhere are urging their residents not to travel to Las Vegas right now amid a growing surge in the Delta variant and little or no mask mandates at Vegas casinos and restaurants.

    I have a house in Vegas, and that's a false statement. EVERYBODY is masked up!

    The drug in question was measured in picograms. The amount is like a grain of sand in an Olympic pool. 

    What seems funny to me is that it's ok to use, but not too much.

    To keep it in context, from what I have read, the drug is not banned and is commonly used, but the amount in the bloodstream is limited at race time.
