Product Description
For more than eight years, I lived and worked in the dark underworld of Las Vegas as an exotic dancer. Some things are worth repeatingothers you try to forget. Unfortunately, you never forget. I decided it was time that somebody told the truth about what really happens in Las Vegas strip clubs and their VIP rooms. Is there sex in the champagne room? With the right dancer and for right price, there is anything you want in the champagne room! This book gives a lot of insight into what really happens when men are turned loose on the Las Vegas scene. I think men and women alike will be interested in reading about what really happens in Vegas. See what the dark twenty-four-hour world of Vegas is really like. See what an insider has to say about the life of an exotic dancer.

 Short book with lots of filler. November 11, 2008
This book is very short...Only about 80 pages with bigger print than usual. The stories that she depicts are true. Some of the book I would consider just filler to try and fill up space For example: Providing a list of all the stripper names she could remember (I don't care) Nobody really wants to read a page and a half of names. Or the questions she was asked with the question like How much do you make? Double space. Her response. Double space. Next question. An OK book if you get it really cheap and you just have a little time to kill.
 Did you have an editor? Written poorly. July 30, 2008
You've got to be kidding me. The stories were remotely entertaining. There were so many typos and grammatical errors that it was very distracting. The book was very thin and not written very well. Run on sentences galore. Capitalization where it is not needed. Should I go on?
 Strippers in Haiti March 20, 2008
A novel about striptease at a brothel in Haiti is Naked in Haiti: A sexy morality tale about tourists, prostitutes & politicians. Readers of A Stripper's Tail might also enjoy that story.
Don't bother... March 12, 2008
If you value your reading time at all don't bother with this book. If not for the subject matter I could very well imagine this being written by a seventh grader. There are numerous typos and the language is simple at best. If you must hear bare bones stories about the industry then have at it. But there are better books out there.
 Frank and Honest, though perhaps not well editted January 3, 2008
I purchased this book to get some idea of what happens to a stripper, because my own sister-in-law (a Muslim, no less) decided to pursue this trade in America. From the many clubs I frequented while assisting her, and listening to many stories from her as well as her dancer-friends, I would say that most of the accounts which the book describes are fairly accurate and are representative of most clubs across the USA -- not just in Las Vegas. It's a hard life for most women involved -- primarily because they do not save their money to pursue more noble endeavors and become career-strippers instead. It is also a hard job for the male-customers who pay an inordinate amount of money for the dances and even more, in some cases, for the hope of having sex with one of these women who often create tales of affection for the men and GFE (girl friend experience) myths. Ultimately, everyone is happy -- and losers, as well. The women make alot of money but are unable to escape the lifestyle, while the men get their fantasies (which rarely come true) but lose alot of their money. The author makes a good accounting, I think, of this type of life. Some of the book suffers from misspellings and poor grammer, but it tends to fit the overall image of a typical stripper and therfore contributes to the general context.
