New Hard Rock suite to feature everything but a stripper

Another local hotel-casino is tilting from Sin City to Skin City.

The Hard Rock Hotel and gentlemen's club chain Rick's Cabaret International today announced they have partnered to design the "ultimate bachelor party venue" suite at the niche property.

The suite will be outfitted with a nightclub style sound and lighting system, goose down pillows, a master bath with a personal spa and, yes, a stripper pole.

Guests, presumably, will have to provide their own strippers.

The announcement also said the master bedroom suite will overlook the Hard Rock Beach Club pool where "weekend revelers gather in thousands ... to frolic in skimpy bikinis."

The Hard Rock Hotel is also partnering with Rockstar Energy Drink to promote "Party Like a Rockstar" VIP packages that include a suite and limousine service to Rick's Cabaret Vegas.

The Hard Rock Hotel joins the Rio and the Palms in partnering with the adult entertainment industry to promote its properties.

The Rio is preparing to launch its second year of the Sapphire Pool, an adults-only outdoor club in partnership with Sapphire Gentlemen's Club.

Review-Journal columnist John L. Smith discussed the relationship in a column last year.

The Palms and Playboy Enterprises have a branding partnership, which includes the Playboy Tower and the Playboy Club.

Some of the dealers in the club's casino were part of an eight-page pictorial in the namesake magazine's November 2007 issue.
