Pure Nightclub got raided by the IRS last week. The story is lots of
unreported money changing hands. I think it was Norm Clarke in the RJ
who broke the story. He says it's just the tip of the iceberg.
The doormen were reported to make $400,000 to $500,000 per year but
were having to pay off to keep the job.
Last October my friend Al treated me to a 4 day comp at Caesars and I
got to see this operation in action. We would have to leave the poker
room to do the thing that is not mentioned of vpFREE anymore. So we
stood out by the sports book and at night the lines formed for Pure.
One line was maybe 200 of the best looking women on the planet; all
dolled up too. The doormen would occasionally come down the line
picking out the women who could get in. It didn't seem to matter what
position in line they were in, rather it seemed to be based on how good
looking they were. I almost felt sorry for some of these women. You
would see them out there in line at 8:30 or 9:00 PM and they would
still be out there at midnight. Eventually, when it got to late, they
would all straggle off.
In the other line was all the hardtails. Al informed me that these
guys were being shaken down to get in. It's supposed to be a $40 entry
fee, but lots of these guys were paying off the doormen for as much
$200. Then they had to pay the entry fee and might get stung for some
more money if the place was real busy. And that's the cheap end of
the deal. A bottle and a table is about $500.
Norm Clarke reported that lots of kids would ring up $5000 to $6000 on
their credit cards in one night.
How stupid is that? And I thought I had thrown some expensive drunks.
Not even close.
