Yeah, the wifey and I were in Vegas last week and we're walking through the MGM on Friday night and we go by this club called "Theatro" (or something like that I think). Anyway, I notice the line of folks and the bouncers with their earpieces looking all tough and official. My wife and I stop to peak in the doorway of this club and it looks really cool, very Euro-tech style with go-go dancers on the tables, etc.
This one bouncer says to us "you two want to go check out the club?". Sure, what the heck. So we were able to pass up the line and the $30 cover charge and go check it out. A fringe benefit of having a good-looking wife I guess.
So we get a table and start chillin'. The Mrs. orders a martini and I kick back with some scotch. A couple from Phoenix is sitting next to us. A cute little go-go dancer from Michigan starts dancing on our table and my wife and the girl from Phoenix start to tip the dancer while Mr. Phoenix and I people watch.
Our attention is quickly drawn to a group of folks at the next set of tables. We notice this guy and girl making out. . .nothing unusual you say, this is Vegas after all. I look again and the girl's skirt is up around her waist and the guy making out with her is fondling her in front of four other folks seated across from them. "Well, this is Vegas!" I think to myself. Then, the guy gets up from his seat and another guy sits down and starts making out with the same girl. "This is Vegas?" "Well, maybe they're rock stars." I order another scotch and tip the go-go girl.
Then, one by one different women start coming over and chatting with me. Different men give my wife some friendly glances. Over at the "makeout" table one of the go-go girls is sitting on one of the female patrons laps while two other female club guests are massaging different parts of the dancer's body. "This is Vegas!" is all I could think.
Most of the folks in the club that night were in their early 30's to late forties, attractive and successful and very outgoing. My wife says to me "it's really cool how people tend to loosen up when they hit their mid-30's. . .this is great." At that point little did she know how loose they were.
At some point, between people offering to "share their autographed porn" with us about a half dozen off the cuff sexual propositions Mrs. Chopper and I realized we had stumbled onto a swingers party at the MGM in Vegas! This was confirmed when the owner of the swingers website that these folks were a part of. . .a gorgeous blonde woman who looked like a European runway model, asked us if we were interested in joining the group.
My wife then spent the rest of our time there explaining to people who cared and probably some that didn't that we weren't participants in the "lifestyle". When she went to the bathroom she'd ask our little go-go dancer from Michigan to take me out on the dancefloor for my protection. We left a little sooner than I thought we should have. My research on the subject was not complete.
I thought the whole thing was hilarious! Mrs. Chopper is pretty conservative these days, but even she handled things really well. I was surprised how attractive the couples were. I always expected swingers to be kind of fat with grey beards. . .and that's just the women. But this must of been an upscale club because these folks were pretty damn attractive.
All in all the whole experience was a little weird, but very educational. I certainly wouldn't participate in the "lifestyle", but I was fascinated to learn the type of folks who do.
Anyway, that's my book report on how I spent my summer vacation!
