Las Vegas Sun - A conventioneer from Massachusetts is challenging a $29,512 bill for a night of entertainment and drinks at a topless dancing club in Las Vegas. James Hackett of Andover, Mass., filed a lawsuit Friday in Las Vegas against the owner of the Club Paradise Gentlemen’s Club and American Express Co., disputing the amount that was billed to his American Express card last Oct. 12. fter checking in to the Las Vegas Hilton, he went to a Hilton hotel bar to watch a Boston Red Sox baseball game on television and had some vodka martinis, his lawsuit says. While watching the game, someone handed him his wallet and said Hackett had dropped it, Hackett’s suit says. Nothing was missing from the wallet, but Hackett noticed his driver’s license and American Express card had been switched from their usual positions. Hackett said in his lawsuit he talked to some Red Sox fans from Phoenix, left for the hotel lobby and apparently blacked out there and can’t remember anything else that may have happened that night. He called his wife the next morning and told her about the dropped wallet incident and had her check with his credit card companies to ensure there were no unauthorized charges, the lawsuit says. No problems with his credit cards were immediately detected. But after returning to Massachusetts, Hackett said he learned of a series of charges to his American Express card by Club Paradise between 2:55 a.m. and 8:54 a.m. on Oct. 12. These totaled $29,512 — about $4,000 for a bar tab and more than $25,000 for “unexplained services” involving entertainers “Paulina,” “Jani Lee,” “Isabel,” “Vanessa,” “Roxanne” and “Lexi.”Hackett said in his lawsuit he has no recollection of visiting Club Paradise and that he filed police reports in Massachusetts and Las Vegas about the incident. The lawsuit questions not only whether the charges were valid, but the amount charged.”Such charges are astounding and cannot be supported as reasonable, including charges for entertainment totaling over $25,000 and charges for alcohol of $4,000, the value and quantity of which would have rendered any person so intoxicated as to have no capacity to knowingly consent to any services or charges supplied by defendant Club Paradise,” the suit alleges.
I’m trying to wrap to my brain around this story. The only possible thing that I can come up with is that this dude knew his wife would see the American Express bill. Why else would you sue and draw attention to it? Because I don’t care whether his complaints are legit or not, it wouldn’t be worth fighting it as long as it was a secret. I mean sucking up a 25K loss is a no brainer compared to trying to prove to your wife that it’s impossible to spend that much on “unexplained services” at Club Paradise. But once the he knew she’d see the credit card bill he sprung into action and did what any guy would do in this situation. He played the old I blacked out, got roofied , got kidnapped, got framed, got my wallet stolen and given back to me routine and was hoping one of the excuses would stick. Kind of got to admire the effort.

That or myb he just knows he can't pay $25K. Surprised he has that much on his card, though he's a dipshit for spending that much at a pickadilly club. I have a bachelor party tomorrow night. Phillies game, then club. I'll let you know how much I spend, likely under $150. 
The only other thing, well no I just it isn't. I was thinking myb it was staged to get a friend free lapdances, but if the guy is married I doubt he's put his family in jeapordy. I was thinking I'm sure this place has surveillance footage for cases like this, and they can just goto the footage to prove it's him.
Fuuny, 25 GRAND is lapdances. Some chick out there got PAID!! Probably burnt thru it in a month or two on coke anyway.
Re: Suing Vegas
Just for the record, those aren't MY comments at the end of the article. That was taken from barstool sports. I know it kind of appears that they're my words, but they're not.
That guy had to be absolutely blitzed if he DID spend all that money at the strip club, or he's a total douche that doesn't love his wife as much as he loves strippers.
This should be an easy case to solve though. You'd think a club would take notice of someone spending that much money in one night (a few hours time). It shouldn't be hard to point the guy out, you tend to remeber a guy plunking down 25 g's.

If by "notice" you mean "take advantage of" then yeah, I'm sure they "noticed" him. Blitzed, drunk, and they probably hand him a form to sign saying he's competant & able to comprehend how much he's spending, then he signs for his CC charges
Like Chris Rock said: "No matter what a girl tells you... There is NO SEX in the champagne room!!" and if there is, you probably wouldn't want to be with that girl anyway.

Re: Suing Vegas
That's just sad.
Paying to see naked women dance...
Hey if your single and it's been a while so to speak then it's all in good fun. 
Bit different if he's a family man though.
And $25k..wow....dunno how it works in vegas but here your looking at $50 for maybe two songs, so lets say 5 mins. So i'm guessing we're talking multiple girls at once for a few hours and probably a whole lot of insanely priced champagne or cocktails or something for him and his crew...even then though it's going to take some work to hit those prices!
Re: Suing Vegas
Yeah, hard to fathom. You can prob get a girl for $1000/hour (not sexually, but lap dance/champagne room). So I'd guess monkeys right prob 2-3 girls at once, for 5-6 hours, and prob a couple $1,000 bottles of champagne. Which are the same bottles as the $100 bottles too.
Re: Suing Vegas
The bar tab was close to $4,000 and the "unexplained services" clocked in at 25k. The bar tab is insane enough, but I could at least see that being possible. The 25k though for lapdances, etc. That seems out of this world. Unless he was just tipping them like a madman.
