Can You Get a Lap Dance at an El Paso Bikini Bar?
There’s a new business in the building that used to be Jaguar’s Gentlemen’s Club.
It’s now called Chicas Locas and the lawyer for the owners says it is definitely NOT a strip club.
That denial follows the city’s allegations of illegal activity and dozens of violations from the not-a-strip-club. One allegation is a sworn statement by an undercover officers who says that on opening night of Chica’s Locas he was offered a “private” dance in the VIP room.
Casey Wallace, the attorney for Chicas Locas claims that allegation “absolutely false”. But the affidavit states that undercover officer in fact GOT the lap dance and the employee exposed her breasts to him.
Other violations in court documents include dozens of fire safety code violations..thing like exposed wiring and not having a sprinkler system.
If you’d like to see the court documents, they’re 212 pages long and posted on this story by KFOX14.
One thing worth noting is that the plaintiff in the case is listed as “Rick’s Cabaret and RCS Holdings.
While claiming to NOT be a strip club, it’s got to hurt their case that Chica’s Locas is owned by THE most famous strip club chain in the history of Texas. Rick’s/RCI owns more than 55 strip clubs under various names across the country.
So, a former strip club, now owned by a company famous for owning strip clubs is suspected of…being a strip club.
Nonetheless, Attorney Wallace is adamant. “We are lawfully operating as a nightclub. We do not accept the city’s allegations and we’ll fight in out in court”, Wallace said.
