The Bad Guy wrote on November 19, 2008 02:44 PM: it sounds more and more like people are just jealous of something that could happen obviously if vinnie broke a guys a neck or had someone break a guys neck he would be in jail. but there is two many people leaving comments on here that have less than 20 dollars in their bank accounts and are taking it out on someone else get a new job and stop being envious of someone you can never be. he was hired because of his knowledge of the business which obviously shows he knows alot being with his backround included he still got the job; and none of you winners on here did with a "backround". Dont believe what you read its most likely the jealous talking. Vinny and everyone around him are great people and take good care of clientel.....

Smell the Failure of Rick's... it's shitty! wrote on November 17, 2008 12:19 AM: The pompous attitude of the management at Rick's is just amazing to me. They fired off the loyal staff of many years and replaced them with one- dimensional thug types... already entertainers reporting being told, "There are a lot of holes in the desert" for not tipping the hosts and management (i.e. the convicted felons) nearly enough. Eric Langan has no clue how the Vegas market works anyhow...clearly stating that he will get together with other clubs to stop paying the cabs entirely. What?! Get with the program "GUY!"... You won't be "setting the bar" here! It has already been set and everyone, but you, knows how it works... bah-bye Rick's Cabaret!

Mobsters are Stupid wrote on November 13, 2008 08:35 PM: Look at the Crazy Horse's Rizzolo. He was sitting on a gold mine and figured that he could beat up and paralyze any drunk they decided they didn't like.

Bullies. Targeting people who can't fight back. Real brave. Real tough. Your mamas are proud.

Didn't you guys learn anything from the Binions? Everything changed when the Horseshoe almost lost its license for kidnapping, etc, one of the crimes OJ is rotting for.

After all the crap that went down at the Crazy Horse, I'd never drop a dollar at Rick's. Who knows, you could find yourself in a strange situation, and in a split-second a high-school dropout, white-gorilla decides you are guilty and roughs you up as if you were actually wearing football armor.

Then you're paralyzed. Mafia types. Real tough bullies.

The shareholders should bail out, or dump the CEO. Vinny is a loose-cannon liability waiting to happen.

First of all Vinnie handles all the employees money and distributes it as he sees fit. This is how they got in trouble at the Horse....making alot of money and not reporting it. As part of these tips to employees he demands 15 percent from entertainers. Vinnie is a has been in a market that has changed. There is to much competition in this market to rough up guests and extort entertainers. Good luck Eric ...you are a fool who will be lucky to keep your club open for more than six months.

Lucky Lefty wrote on November 13, 2008 12:27 PM: Why are mob members "reputed" when every other criminal is "alleged"? And how does one "enjoy" a work card?
I think Vinny might enjoy lap dance auditions a little more than a work card, ya know what I'm sayin'? Ah, forgeddaboutit.

However, knowing that this club is being managed by this guy, and knowing the problems at Crazy Horse, where customers were roughed up, and one guy getting his neck broken, I doubt if I'll be going to Rick's. I hope the owner rethinks his decision to hire someone with this guy's reputation. And, just because the guy doesn't handle the money, doesn't mean that he can't have his hand out looking for under the table payments from customers for a better seat or better serve. Or, he could be using his position to extort the dancers who want to work the better hours, not to mention letting the bouncers mishandle the customers.

Why He was Hired wrote on November 13, 2008 06:39 AM: Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think running a strip joint requires much expertise. Of all the people one could hire, with this guys baggage, why hire him.

The mob connection must be the reason, that will somehow benefit the strip joint.

Protection?

Well, that speaks volumes, and such a comfort for all. . .
