Back in February 2008

One day in Las Vegas, February 2008, Tatiana was watching the local Las Vegas news channel when they mentioned something about the strip clubs in Vegas. Something that was said made Tatiana inspired enough to write an e mail to the news channel, hoping that the situation for the dancers in Las Vegas would improve. Yes, Tatiana harbored high hopes......
This was about a month before Tatiana packed up her 4 Runner and drove to Alaska to work at The Bush Company.
Tatiana thought that you might find the short correspondence with KTNV Channel 13 Action News interesting.......

Tatianna,

Thank you so much for your email and I'm very interested in hearing more about some of what is going on at these clubs. Please feel free to contact me anytime.

HELLO.
My name is Tatianna and I am currently working in one of the larger stripclubs in town as a dancer, stripper, entertainer - the job has many names.
I saw a very brief reportage the other night about some stripclub issues coming from your station.
There's SO much going on in the stripclubs that the public has NO IDEA of. Yes, the girls pay a lot to work, with no gurantee to make it back. We have no hourly wage, no insurance. What other employer takes money from you upfront and does not gurantee that you at least make that back? There have been many nights when I paid to work and couldn't even make back what I paid or went home with a $ 20 profit after 8 h of work. I rarely make over $ 300, that is a great night. And yes, I do try.
The clubs ( in Vegas) employ ANY girl that is willing to pay to work. Some clubs give you a $ 40 fine if you miss your turn on stage. If you don't want to go on stage you have the choice to pay more in addition to the house fee, that totals to over $ 100.
Due to the high amount of girls working and on many nights far from enough customers to go around, more than majority of the girls do things that are NOT allowed but the managers and floorhosts look the other way because these girls will tip them out a lot of money. This creates a very bad and frustrating environment.
It doesn't matter if you are pretty or friendly, interesting etc in Las Vegas when it comes to making money. What matters in what you are willing TO DO. I have tried to bring this up with the managers but they don't want to hear of it. They are like pimps. The situation in almost any stripclub in Las Vegas is pretty bad. I have worked in New York, California,Colorado, London and the clubs in Las Vegas are the most out of control ones, I feel like I am in a brothel.
I know that it is very possible to make good money in the sk clean clubs where the rules are enforced, the way it SHOULD be!
Boobgrabbing openly on the floor, genital rubbing with the hands, handjobs, yes- sex. I have been wanting to write an expose about this because I do not think things like this should go on in a stripclub. It is unsanitary and scares away people that are going there for entertainment.
I am not writing this because I am jealous or unattractive. I actually work as a model too. I think this is a rather important issue. There's a large amount of women working as dancers in Las Vegas . Many have mortgages, children. How are they protected? What rights do they have? Why do the managers allow that illegal things go on, OPENLY? They are making so much money from the girls.
I am very willing to talk further with you regarding this. I am willing to collaborate on an expose.
I hope to hear from you!

Thank you, Tatianna.

So, they asked Tatiana (yes, Tatianna) to call the station and she had a talk with the person (a man) she had exchanged these e mails with. Nothing came out of it. They said they were pretty much aware of the problems and nothing more was said or done to Tatianas knowledge.
Metro (the Las Vegas police) do sting operations at the strip clubs in Vegas from time to time which often result in the arrests of girls that "brake the rules" when Metro is there. Well, how come the club owners and managers aren't arrested or cited? They are there to enforce the rules? Right? There are enough "managers" on the main floor and in the VIP room, they know what's going on. But they rather collect the cash. If they would do their job, problems like that would be few.
It's gross. Tatiana was and is disgusted.
Tatiana even tried to bring this up with some of the managers at Sapphire (the club in Vegas) and they were not happy with Tatianas input. LOL.
She thinks it's sad when a club charges girls to work there (lots of money) and then do not care to enforce the laid out rules so the girls can have a fair work environment. They are no better than pimps in Tatianas eyes. And now, two years later, Tatiana knows that not only Vegas clubs fall into this category......until then most of the negativity that Tatiana had witnessed was in Vegas, well not anymore. You can add up the info and figure out what other club Tatiana is referring to......

Tatiana is happy she is not there anymore. Never say never but she won't be in a place like that full time anymore. Shorter stints are manageable.
