Las Vegas is known for its innovative, often provocative, marketing. Now, one Las Vegas strip club, Talk of the Town, is using a unique strategy to market its products and services: Swingers.<\/p>\n

That’s right. Outside of downtown’s Talk of the Town, dancers take turns swinging, literally, to attract customers.<\/p>\n

\"Talk
What, you thought we were making this up?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Technically, Talk of the Town isn’t just a strip club. It’s also an adult video and toy store. But the young women swinging outside are definitely hawking the strip club aspect of the business, and the traffic-stopping technique seems to work.<\/p>\n

The day we stopped by (you know, for blog research purposes), a dancer by the name of Skyler was kind enough to show us the ropes. Sorry, chains.<\/p>\n

\"Talk
Skyler has a heart of gold, so be nice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Skyler said when she swings, she makes $10 an hour. If she swings a couple of hours, it nearly covers the fee performers pay to dance at the club ($25).<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s standard practice for dancers to pay a “stage fee” (also called a “house fee”) to the club, just as a hairdresser might lease space at a salon.<\/p>\n

Skyler said she typically swings if business is slow, and she’ll sometimes make tips when passersby request a photo with her on the swing.<\/p>\n

Talk of the Town is a fairly nondescript building, and easy to miss, but not when Skyler or her colleagues are outside working the swing shift. (We’ll be here all week.)<\/p>\n

\"Talk
Talk of the Town is located a couple of blocks north of the Stratosphere on Las Vegas Boulevard. Bring hand sanitizer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Talk of the Town is fairly value-oriented compared to many Las Vegas strip clubs. There’s a $10 cover, with $10 lap dances.<\/p>\n

Talk of the Town is fully nude, so there’s no alcohol served.<\/p>\n

Yes, during our visit we experienced some pangs of concern about the objectification of women<\/a>, but the dancers we’ve talked to seem comfortable with their life decisions. It’s Vegas, after all, and bills aren’t going to pay themselves.<\/p>\n
