Club Review : The Red Rooster (Las Vegas, Nevada)

A few months ago, my wife and I traveled to Las Vegas to renew our wedding vows. After the ceremony, the first thought that went through our heads was "Let's go swinging!". A few minutes of google research shows that there were several swingers clubs in the Las Vegas area, but "The Red Rooster" was the one that stood out to us. The Red Rooster has been open since the 80's, and is considered to be one of the oldest operating swingers clubs in the country. The Red Rooster is an on premise club, and is BYOB (although you do need to check in your beverages with the bartender). Unlike most of the other clubs we have visited, the Red Rooster does not require a membership, you simply walk in the front door, pay the nightly entrance donation, and are welcomed to the club. The Red Rooster is open throughout the week as well as on the weekends, although the couples only upstairs area is not opened up on slower nights.

On to the review....



Facilities:

The building the Red Rooster is located in started life as a private house, but has been added onto several times over the years to better house the club. The club has a lot to offer, featuring 2 bars, a dance floor, plenty of tables, a pool table (free to play), indoor swimming pool and hottub, and outdoor patio, private and group play rooms, and a couples only upstairs area. The locker room and bathroom facilities are sufficient for the size of the club, but could potentially get crowded on a busy night. The club as a whole was clean and well maintained. The multiple additions to the building actually provide for there to be distinct area's of the club, allowing some area's to be high energy and noisy, while other areas are quiet enough to chat and get to know the other people in attendance.

Location :

The Red Rooster is located about a 20-30 minute uber ride from the Las Vegas Strip. The club istelf is in a residential area, but is not difficult to locate.

Clientele :

Las Vegas is a tourist town, and as a result, many of the people in attendance are from out of town. On the night that we visited (a Thursday night) I would estimate that 20% of the people in attendance were local, and the rest were travelers. The club welcomes everyone, nobody needs to go through an vetting or interview process to gain entry, and the dress code is "wear whatever you like". Most people in attendance were in their 40's or early 50's, but there were people in their 30's and 60's as well. It seemed like most of the people in attendance were there as a couple, but there were some single men and single women in attendance. The Clientele of the Red Rooster was more diverse than most clubs we have been to, with people from every ethnic and age group in attendance. Since most people are out of towners, there did not appear to be much in the way of cliques, and everyone was pretty social. It was easy to make new friends at the Red Rooster, although the focus is more "let's be friends for tonight" than "let's build a longer term friendship". I was told that Thursday is actually their slowest night, and that the club is packed full of people over the weekend, but the crowd was still sufficient on the night that we went to have a good time.

Prices :

The Red Rooster does not require first time guests to pay a membership fee, and the door prices are reasonable. Like most clubs single men pay the most to get in, while couples enjoy a discounted rate, and single women are charged the least of all. Once you are in the door, everything is free, even the pool table. If you need a lock, you can borrow one for $5 (returned when you return the lock). For the size of the club and the location, I feel that the prices are pretty reasonable.

Overall Impression :

I enjoyed our visit to the Red Rooster, and definitely plan on visiting again the next time we are in Las Vegas. The club has a great overall feel to it, lots of energy, and lots of cool people to meet. This club has been open a long time, and it is clear that the ownership has a really good understanding of what works and what does not in the unique market of Las Vegas. The club owners have made little tweaks to the typical club formula that really work for the market that they are in. For example, instead of giving new visitors a tour as soon as they arrive, they wait until they have a small group of people and then do a group tour. This gives visitors a chance to meet eachother early in the evening, and more often than not people end up hanging out and playing with people from their tour group for the rest of the visit. Another tweak that was made was to have the pool table set up for 9 ball. This makes the games shorter, giving more people a chance to play, and prevents people for focusing too much on pool instead of swinging.

I would recommend the Red Rooster to any swinger who is in the Las Vegas area and is looking to visit a club. If you have visited the Red Rooster, please share your experiences with us in the comment section below.
