Notorious off-the-Las Vegas-strip venue puts sin back into Sin City

Las Vegas offers all of the seven deadly sins in various combinations. When you visit “Sin City,” these so-called sins are more lifestyle choices to be enjoyed because you’re on vacation.

Any of these seven can be too much if you overindulge, but Las Vegas encourages people to let go and experience each sin in its own way. Las Vegas doesn’t force you to make bad choices, but it does give you the option:   

  • Pride: On any visit to the Strip, you see people done up to the nines. They look good and know it, which counts as pride (a pretty lame sin, to be fair).
  • Greed: Nobody enters a Las Vegas casino because they want their money to support the casino’s bottom line.
  • Lust: You may not act on it, but Sin City is full of good-looking people, faux showgirls, and half-dressed “policemen” and “firemen.”
  • Envy: Everyone sees someone in Las Vegas with nicer stuff than they have.
  • Gluttony: Las Vegas has become a food city, and eating too much is practically a requirement.
  • Wrath: UFC calls Las Vegas home, as do many major boxing matches.
  • Sloth: Las Vegas also makes it very easy to do absolutely nothing.

When it comes to lust, however, the Las Vegas Strip and Las Vegas have more rules than you think. The Strip has no strip clubs, although there are many just off the strip.

Now, a new venue has decided to combine naked ladies and sports betting. Assuming there is a restaurant on site, this new venue will make it possible to commit nearly every sin all in one place.

Las Vegas offers the promise of lust, gluttony, and at the very least, greed.

Las Vegas gets a new kind of club  

While the legendary Centerfolds Las Vegas just closed down, a new strip club is joining the off-the-Las Vegas-strip lineup. Located across from Virgin Hotels Las Vegas at 4416 Paradise Road, the new venue is opening with some big boasts.

“Players strip club and sports bar is the ultimate destination for entertainment and excitement in Las Vegas. As the top-rated strip club in the city, Players offers a unique experience that combines the thrill of live sports with the allure of beautiful entertainers, located in the heart of Las Vegas,” it shared on its website.

That’s impressive, given that Players has not opened yet, but it’s getting ready for a May 2 launch. It opens at 1 a.m., closes at 6 p.m., and operates seven days a week. It’s bringing together two things many men like.

“Whether you want to catch the latest game on one of our big-screen TVs or indulge in delicious food and drinks, Players has something for everyone. With a diverse lineup of talented dancers,” the company added.

Yes, there will be sports on very large TVs, but there will also be strippers vying for guests’ attention.

“Players boasts the hottest girls in Vegas who are sure to captivate and entertain. Our club offers a sophisticated and upscale atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a special occasion. Come experience the best of Las Vegas nightlife at Players strip club and sports bar. With impeccable service, top-notch entertainment, and a vibrant atmosphere,” it posted. 

More than just a Las Vegas strip club

“As Las Vegas continues to evolve as a major sports hub, the need for a venue that merges adult entertainment with live sporting action has never been greater,” Players shared in a press release. 

Locals are allowed free entry on Friday and the venue features 10 85-inch TVs and a 20-foot-long TV wall, The Las Vegas Review-Jourmal reported.

The new hybrid strip club and sports bar takes over the former Centerfolds site, a popular strip club that had about a decade of success in the same location.

That business had a simple description on Yelp.

“Refined gentlemen’s cabaret featuring topless dancers, full bar, Hookah Lounge and broad cigar and wine selection,” according to the reviews site.

More Las Vegas:

The former club had a 2.9 star rating on Yelp’s 5-star scale.

Lianne Heck, the former GM of Centerfolds, has remained with the new entity in a different role, serving as director of operations and business development at Players.

The location has housed some form of strip club since 1994.
