What is the Las Vegas Lounge like?

[fla_funmeister2]

Might have a chance to visit Vegas. Was wondering if anyone has been there? What club might it be comparable to in NYC?
Any insight would be appreciated.

[Celeste]

a 100% honest answer:

Its a dark, dirty, DIVE bar in the worst part of town, honestly! Place use to be pretty decent years ago, but has gone down hill within the past 3 years. Its now features some of Vegas' finest CD's, streetwalker types, drug addicts, thiefs, and std's. Vegas has NOTHING, compared to what NYC has, and Im talking clubs or girls. If your looking for quality, its slim pickings... Id stick to eros, even then its lil to nothing. Craigslist in Vegas is a JOKE, those pics of those girls are from years ago! Most of them are all strung out now, walking the street, by the lounge. Not to mention, if you need to go to their place, they all live like right there, in the area, 2-3 girls an apartment.

There has been so much going on there, that alot of the quality girls, stay away. Girls robbing people, guys robbing the girls, one girl got robbed and the guy tried to shoot her, girls doing hormone shots in the bathroom, fights all the time, cars getting vadalized, even the owners vehicle was. I mean c'mon the place was on cops!

Another thing is VICE, vice out here is no JOKE :smh The city of Las Vegas has decided to crack down BIG TIME on prostitution. They are getting girls off of eros, craigslist, local papers, hotels, streets. They are doing stings, they will come to your house and get you... In vegas there are NO entrapment laws! So anything goes, they can do, say, get away with whatever! A few girls have got busted, and they are NOT getting out. Due to prostitution with HIV/AIDS is a felony. :shock:

So anywho, hope this helps. Just some honest feedback, some people like it, most people dont. Depends on your taste I guess...

Agreed.

... and if your a tgirl lover, in Vegas then you owe yourself a visit just to check it out and remember what Sin is meant to be like. Places like this might not be around forever.

To be fair, Celeste, I've seen some really good girls there of recent and it's not all that dangerous and can be a lot of fun. It's hardly the worst part of town (just next to the Hilton).

Go check it out - don't be determined to take a girl from there, just have a few drinks and see whats going on.

I've been there in 2006. It's a fucking rathole. Smoky, sticky floors, people staring at you like you're meat and generally nasty clientele. Avoid avoid, unless you have no taste at all.

[saifan]

Was there back in '06 as well. Celeste was there and I think she thought I was a cop. Don't blame her considering what she posted above. Didn't seem nearly as dangerous as it probably is. Cute girl named Carmen was there that night as well. Popped up on Yum recently as Saki.

[lumberjack]

Was at the lounge last month, don't think it's as bad as Celeste paints it. Yes, you need to keep your wits about you, but when don't you? Clientele was mixed, some guys were real losers, most were normal. The girls varied as well, hooked up with a decent looking non pro. Friday nights are probably best.

I did see Celeste at the lounge a few years ago, no chance to talk to her as a couple of guys were monopolizing her. Have since seen Celeste at 7969, but I was with someone, didn't want to piss anyone off. Yes, she is just at pretty in person.

[Celeste]

Seanchai: like I said it depends on your taste. If your into what I described, then Im sure, he will check it out. Im sure you were there one nite out of the year, may have not been as bad. Good girls there recently, When during AVN? When you were here? ok, understandable. And if good girls you pertaining to some of the girls you featured in your recent film, I wont mention any names, but yeah, some of Vegas' finest street walkers! I think the ONLY decent girl they have working there now is Carmen, oh and I think Foxy pops in there every now and then. And the rest, they have some really hot strung out types, as well as, tv types! Ahhh... to each is own!

Girls like Holly, Daisy, Ariel Everitts, Foxy... Do not frequent that place AT ALL :smh

[unctrld1]

I was there this past December and a couple of trips before that. Celeste's description is spot on. I'm from inner city NYC and my antenna's went up in the place. Especially when a knife fight broke out between a couple of girls.

With that said, however, if you have never been to Vegas then your trip is not complete if you don't go there. My advice would be to go at least once and satisfy your curiosity, just be careful. Remember to keep in mind what Celeste said.

[jniowa]

I've been to The Lounge twice about three years ago. It was dark and dirtyand I was almost practically accosted by two very very very unattractive girls outside looking for "dates." I did have a good time once inside though. Talked with a couple of very sexy girls and had a few drinks then went home. The neighborhood isn't that bad but its definitely on the borders. Anything off the strip can attract some unwanted guests. But I agree, no trip to Vegas is complete with out it. Go check it out but I would stick to Eros if you really want to have fun.

[jniowa]

Side Note, I had the chance to see Ariel and Foxxy on two different trips and I would highly recommend either of them! Both are very sexy, and it was great times!!

[Buddy Wood]

It's like a little slice of heaven.

[Willie Escalade]

When I was in Vegas last February, I went on a Friday night. I was disappointed. Celeste's description of the place is dead-on. Fortunately my car wasn't vandalized (even though there were a lot of people in that parking lot fronting Sahara), and no fights broke out.

I expected to see a lot of the local talent there. Although there were three girls there that were fairly hot, I only recognized Shawna Vegas and another girl whose name escapes me now. One of my friends from LA was there; she was surprised to see me.

I plan on being in Vegas in June. Don't know if I'll be going back.

[justatransgirl]

The LVL - it's a great place!

Wear gloves, carry a Glock, keep your drink in sight at all times, get an std test if you go home with any locals and you will have a great time.

Enjoy the $6 beers and say hi to Jennifer the bartender for me - she is really nice, seriously.

And Buddy Wood will be the cute guy pole dancing between shows...

Giggle,
TS Jamie :-)

PS: What Celeste says is true about Vegas. It pretty much draws a predatory crowd. Metro Vice has a hard on for TS girls. When we got busted they nailed 12 other t-girls the same night. But of the 12 other "girls" only ONE was actually a TS, on hormones with breasts. The rest were part time TV's or just gay guys posing. It no wonder TS hookers have such a bad reputation.

Our cases were both dismissed.

But we missed a video shoot the next day and bookings while we were in the slammer (missed two nights and days work) and with our attorney the whole thing cost us about $8,000.00. So we had to go back the next week and work twice as hard. :-)

[GroobySteven]

I don't know ... maybe I still like the seedy side of life, people play it too safe. I've never hooked up with girls at any of these bars ... ok, maybe once ... or twice ... but that's really not what it's about for me. This is reality. If you want fantasy, join my sites (if you want sci-fic join other peoples sites) but a slice of reality is just good - it's like fried chicken, it might not be good for you but sometimes just hits the spot.

You are definitely taking a walk on the wild side going there, but isn't that we are doing anyway? I stop in every time I am in Vegas although I haven't been in two years now, and have seen some, met some and bedded some incredible women from The Lounge. It's not that bad a part of town, just about mile or so down the street from The Hilton and The Sahara, in a strip mall and you can park directly in fron of the bar. Worth a try anyway...........

Apparently you have never been there when the cops pull up outside for something completely unrelated and the bar goes into lockdown mode.....

[TSLover5]

The place really isn't that bad. Sure there is drama there once in awhile, and there are some unsavory girls looking to turn a fast trick, but how many good TS bars are there out there? Sure I've been to Peanuts and Divas, but they're about what I'd expect given the population between LV and LA / SF. The biggest problem with the Lounge is Gary, the owner, is a total douchebag. He puts nothing back into the business, and it's lost some of it's lustre over the past few years. Stop by, have a drink, and see what happens. It's interesting to go there just to watch things spin out of control sometimes.

[Dasnasdi]

It’s a fair assessment to call the place seedy, though the surrounding area is no where near as rough as the area around Divas, and the way the working girls will come on to you is no where near as aggressive.

If you want to enjoy a drink and some eye candy, or hook up with a pro, it serves it’s purpose. Since there are good opportunities to do some mutual fondling with a hot girl, don't bring a Glock. The only time you are in any danger is if you decide to get into a car with people you have just met.

[keed444]

so what club do i go to to meet really nice trannys?

[BigTSHunter]

Where do you all recommend a Shemale rookie like me in Southern California? Especially if you are hanging out there Celeste? (wink wink)

[Perverted Monk]

Going to the Lounge while in Vegas is like a right of passage. Ya gotta do it.

[Celeste]

Big Ts Hunter: Im not sure where your at in So*Cal?! But 7969 on Friday is REALLY good. And is by far the best TS club there is. Its not the nicest, in terms of the place it self, But there is always TONS of girls there. Alot of really HOT girls, and you always see a few pornstars in the mix :D They have a cool little strip show on fridays, a Stage for the dancers. There is actually a dance floor, where you can dance. Now there is also another night, that 7969 hosts at another club, I wanna say Sundays or Mondays at club Palm, never been there, but here its in the general area, as 7969.

Ok, now there is also a club in North Hollywood on Thursdays, called club COBRA. Its a gay club the rest of the week, but on thursdays... Its tranny night. I hear its really good, same crowd as 7969, never been, but plan on visiting soon.

There is also a place in Garden Grove. Its a Latin gay club, but on fridays and saturdays... You will find a decent amount of TS ladies there. Its a chill little place. Everyone is pretty laid back, and the girls are NOT as aggresive, as you may find at other places.

There is a little bar, and I mean little... lol, in San Diego. Its downtown, and I forget the name of it. There was a decent amount of people there. last time I visited, years ago. Very laid back crowd, and a variety of girls. Its a nice place, considering how small it was.

To me Divas has to be the nicest TS bar there is. Im talking about inside, not the area. But Divas is like Legendary, as is 7969. Divas has 3 levels, little stage for shows, dance floor, stripper stage, lounge, an elevator. Good lighting, where you can actually see what the person REALLY looks like. And the bathrooms, are actually clean, unlike alot of TS places.

[ohioguy13]

both sides are correct it can be a little scary outside the club but it is fun there and celeste when ive seen her in there has always been super. That being said why doesnt somene find a nicer place in sin city I mean youd think vegas would have one kick ass club to meet t girls in after all its where people want to do things they cant do at home.

You are awesome Celeste. That data is very helpful. I will definately check some of those places out when I get the courage to. I definately want to see some of the beauties from Hung Angels up close and personal. And hearing from you is very encouraging that you are as awesome a person as you are an entertainer! I am in the OC so the Garden Grove and SD sound like the more practical even though I have heard of the legendary Hollywood clubs. Thanks a bunch!

[gerbil13]

Ive been to the lounge once, was on a Sunday night, not many girls there but the ones I met were really nice and I had a great time.

I hope you do! The chances are great that you'll see me and Buddy there (Bob as well), since we're practically regulars. :wink:

[NYTSJulie]

I was there 2 times. The last time I was there was about 3 years ago. It seemed nice, nothing too great though. It might of changed since then, who knows. I didnt think I was gonna get mugged though, I dare some fool to try and mug me lol. I would go back.

[LDNYC31]

hey Celeste, your absolutly gorgeous and seem rather down to earth for your beauty, which is rather refreshing. Your acconts of the clubs in vegas and LA are very interesting. I have recently moved from the west coast out east for work, and i was wondering if you or anyone else on here knows of any clubs or lounges in NY

[ltxlover]

The little bar in San Diego is SRO on Fifth Avenue.
Good nights are Friday and Saturday between 10-1.
Happy hunting!!!

[justatransgirl]

I don't bring a Glock.

I don't either really...

But wanna see if my Glocks bigger than your Glock?

Draw!


or is it Stroke!

Giggle,
TS Jamie :-)

[justatransgirl]

Thanks Celeste for the LA club update. I gotta get up there one of these weekends.

TSHunter - come on down to San Diego to the SRO as listed above.

It looks like a dive from the street - well OK it IS a dive - but it's the friendliest bar you'll ever find. Think "Cheers" in drag. :-) Just step over the homeless drunks passed out on the sidewalk and have a good time! Jessica and I get down there every few weeks on Saturday nights around 11. Say hi and remember... you'll get what you pay for!

And there's nothing really happening in OC anymore. Unless you speak spanish, in which case the Frat House on GG blvd may have some latin girls on Friday nights. I went there about 3 years ago. The Boom Boom Room in Laguna is closed and the whole GLBT scene died with it. Even the "Little Shrimp" is now a straight dinner house for tourists.

Sigh,
TS Jamie :-)

[Willie Escalade]

Went to the Lounge last night (yes, I'm in Las Vegas right now). Kinda dead...until around 1:45am. A LOT of girls started to come in at that time. Most of them I didn't recognize, except for ex-Yum model Daisy (aka Natalie). I remember her because she used to live in LA and she has this huge thunderbird tattoo on her back.

If this was LA, those gals would be arriving to late!

[hellboy3]

I passed by the LV longue about 3:00 am on Saturday and I saw a lot of cars in the parking lot. It seemed to be a packed night.

[unctrld1]

good to see the lounge is still pippin'. I am there next week Tues for a week. Can't wait. Viva Las!!!!!!!!!!

[hellboy3]

Hey Willie any pics of Natalie (Daisy)?

[slinky]

LV copies everything. In this case, it sounds like they've copied Sally's Hideaway (http://www.sallys-hideaway.com/A_Pictorial_History.html).

[Willie Escalade]

Hey Willie any pics of Natalie (Daisy)?
These are from Joey's site (can't find any from Yum, but it's a Grooby site no less :wink: ). She actually still looks as she does in these pictures, but I can say about six years ago she was much thinner. Not that I'm being negative or anything.

And what I thought was a tattoo of a thunderbird is something else entirely. But it's still one hell of a tramp-stamp!

[Willie Escalade]

I passed by the LV longue about 3:00 am on Saturday and I saw a lot of cars in the parking lot. It seemed to be a packed night.
Figures. I left around two to head back to the Wynn (that's where I'm staying). Now I know to arrive a lot later. I did notice more girls coming in late like that.

For you LA cats, the Lounge is similar to The Blacklite...at least early on. :wink:

[whatsupwithat]

LV copies everything. In this case, it sounds like they've copied Sally's Hideaway (http://www.sallys-hideaway.com/A_Pictorial_History.html).

i loved sally's. looooooved it! :)

[Celeste]

Ok... So I went to Pure nightclub last night. The Kardashian sisters were throwing a party there! Anyway... so who do I run into? Foxxy! She was there with a gf of hers. It was great seeing her again. We hung out the rest of the night/morning, drinking like fools, dancing, causing a ruckus! lol.

Well after the club, her and her gf asked for a ride to LVL. So I gave them a ride. Id say we got there around 430/5 am, and the place was FULL of girls. Hotties @ that. I was quite surprised. I had ran into some girls I hadnt seen in YEARS. It was nice seeing everyone again, and catching up. Im not sure how long they had been there. But I know it doesnt started getting crowded, until after 1 a.m.

I had snapped a few pics, but Im having troubles loading them for some odd reason. Oh well... we all were SOOOO smashed, the girls probably would not want me to post. Just to name a few girls I saw that you may have seen or seen on eros... Foxxy, Quinn, Brooke, Yani, Gabrielle. Not to mention the rest of the girls that were there.

[whatsupwithat]

LV copies everything. In this case, it sounds like they've copied Sally's Hideaway (http://www.sallys-hideaway.com/A_Pictorial_History.html).

I used to hang out at Sally's II and Edelweiss and this place is waaaay smaller and there's a real sense that all the girls know each other - it's like a frontier version of sally's without the stage or size.

ha! a frontier version...great description. i can totally picture it.

Thanks for the info! If I had decided to stick around, I would have talked to you (again). When I return later this year (I'm leaving tomorrow night), I'll be sure to get there "late"!

I guess you can consider The Lounge "the after party after the other parties"...especially on a Friday night. I wonder if it will be this way tonight. Hmmm..... :?

[Felicia Katt]

I've been to the Lounge several times and while its not exactly ritzy, I've had a good time every time, and there isn't really anyplace else like it Vegas. And because its open all nite, it can be better at 4 am then midnite. Willie, I have only been to the Blacklite once, and that was enough.

Here is a pic of me in front of it from last summer. This was about 4 am, after we went to Pirhana for a while

FK

[Realgirls4me]

Those legs. Those legs. Those legs, Felicia. :)


... Jaysus, and I thought the girls arriving at Peanuts around midnight was late? Four a.m.??? I really need to redefine my definition of "late".

:)

[Willie Escalade]

After going to a fetish club with my friend (and meeting Shavonna Starr no less), I decided to head back over to the LVL. This was around 3 am. Not too many girls this time, but later in the evening (morning?) I did see Celeste and Foxxy there. Since the place was slow, they left fairly quickly.

Celeste, I was the one in the camouflaged Dodgers hat. :wink:

When I return later this year, I'm heading to the club after 3 on a Saturday morning.

Also, come to think of it, it really isn't that much like the Blacklite...which is a good thing.

[Jacques-alors]

The LV Lounge suffers from not being looked after, it has no sparkle even though its supposed to be a club where people go to meet each other and enjoy. I was there a year ago with a local girl and we didn't stay, the dancers were frankly poor and there was only one Premier League girl there whose name I won't mention. The area is not as bad as some in Vegas, but Celeste is right, Diva's is the best although I heard the Silver Swan in NYC if it is still going is also good; maybe Jacques' in Boston but I never been.

What makes a good club?

[hellboy3]

Thx for the pics Willie maybe I will see u the next time u come to Vegas.

[jniowa]

Goddamn Felicia, you look hot! great pic.

[Celeste]

It was nice to meet you Willie :D Yeah we left pretty quick... I dont like hanging out at that place for too long. I prefer str8 venues. Jacques in Boston is OK, its really small. It kind of reminds me of a smaller version of LVL. The LVL has no glitz, because they invest NOTHING into the place. But then again, its a pick up and go kinda place. Where as 7969, people go to dance, drink, socialize... LVL really isnt like that.

[bezane]

Hate to be a killjoy but I've been living here for awhile and the Lounge continues to go downhill. When Celeste was there it still had some speed. Now it's been taken over by nasty girls that have no use for anyone. A couple of the bartenders are so rude it's off the chart. I'm no scumbag there. I tip the dancers well every night. Bartenders I tip $5 per drink and I've still had run ins with them all because I'm not a mark and don't patronize their friends.

The place is still decent as a stop in Vegas but the quality girls that live here are starting to wise up and hang in the mainstream or even the gay clubs like Krave, Freezone etc. have an immense type of energy if you're just out for fun and a possibility of meeting some girls.

Before anyone chimes in that the "guys" that go to the lounge are scumbags, I will say that it is more of a result of the place having a cold "get out" scene. They leave and don't come back. So you get creepy crawlers and hoods.

A couple of good friends still work there, and I go to chat. But it can't hold a candle to 7969 and if it had not been so poorly managed over the past four years it could have achieved greatness. Even when the AVN's are here you don't see the stars go by. They go to other parties. Just three years ago the place would be crowded with big names for three straight days.

Because the bar has gaming those machines are a cash cow and supply the owners with a reason for being. By contract with the gaming company you have to be open 24/7 so it can attract a crowd of girls at any time without notice.

While someone like Celeste lives in the real world and probably couldn't be bothered, if a couple of classy girls promoted good nights, not exactly but similiar to Allanah and company in NYC, there would definitely be a great scene for the taking. The elements are here. Vegas is a very straight town when it comes down to it, it's changing every day.

Hopefully the Lounge will get on track. Every time I bump into someone of notoriety there, meaning one of the great girls, they say the same thing. Don't hang in this place anymore. Shame.
