The new Rick’s Cabaret Vegas adult topless dance club is a 44 Double-D Delight – so big with more than 250 femme fatales flaunting their flash and flesh that the publicly traded stock exchange company has four days and nights of opening celebration parties.

Controversial satellite radio shock-jock and newlywed Howard Stern is even sending in his on-air personalities from New York for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Howard TV will be filming the search for the next Miss Howard TV on Friday night. The 20 finalists are Rick's Cabaret Girls from Rick's clubs across the country. The contest will be hosted by "Ronnie the Limo Driver" and judged by Howard’s producer, Gary Dell'Abate, and other Stern cast characters. The winner will be crowned on the main stage and flown to New York to appear The Howard Stern Show and also to star in a feature episode of Howard TV.

Already on the guest list to attend throughout the opening weekend are several pro poker champions, a slew of sports athletes from all sports and, of course, a few adult film stars. You can also expect some unannounced TV and movie names and I’ll go, in a solely professional capacity, to report on their appearances!

But its tonight’s (Wednesday) “Due Diligence” party for the press and Wall Street bankers that is the most unusual and unique part of the Rick’s Cabaret opening after it took over the Scores and Penthouse Clubs business. The “Due Diligence Ball” is for investors where they tour the facility -– as in, “kicking the tires field trip” and question CEO and President Eric Langan about the investment opportunities, stock price and future earnings potential.

Ricks Cabaret International, the nation’s premiere operator of upscale men’s clubs, is listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol RICK. Serving businessmen and professionals with live adult entertainment, it operates the adult nightclubs in New York, Miami, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, Minneapolis, Charlotte plus Club Onyx, Tootsie’s Cabaret and XTC in other cities plus on-line adult internet auction websites: www.naughtybids.com and www.couplestouch.com.

Bankers and guests can expect to talk and meet with the dancers, watch topless aerial acrobatics and understand the inner workings from company officials as to just how the topless nightclub business works in Vegas. Then once your eyes are back in their sockets and the hangover has eased call your broker before the market opens!!
