Titillation, obligation: A night at the strip club

Why are half-naked men here?

In other words, Monday night in the showroom of Sapphire Gentleman's Club was a typical party in Las Vegas.

However, on the strip club's main floor, which is billed as the largest in the world amongst its kind, there was but one guy, sitting alone in the dark, and two strippers, one of whom was dancing without inspiration on the secondary stage and the other of whom was sitting at the bar, doing nothing, while the sole bartender working there kept darting between the empty main floor (to see if anyone new had arrived) and the showroom, where the party was still throbbing at 9 p.m.

Or, in short, it was an atypical night at the Sapphire strip club.
