Virtual Reality Strip Clubs Might Aid in Revitalizing Las Vegas' Entertainment Industry
Virtual Reality Transforms the Strip Club Experience
The strip club industry is looking to virtual reality (VR) as a means to connect with the millennial demographic, who are more inclined towards cyber methods for entertainment. This shift could potentially bring significant financial benefits to the industry, currently worth $3.1 billion in the US and $75 billion worldwide.
The VR technology offers a highly realistic experience, and convenience is a factor that could attract users to virtual reality strip clubs. Strip club owners are partnering with VR developers to offer lap dance services streamed from the club to users' homes. The VR headset provides a 360-degree view of the club, offering an immersive experience for the users.
The theory is that younger potential customers are more likely to visit a physical strip club if they have previously experienced it virtually. This approach could help bridge the gap between the physical and online world, a view shared by club owner Joe Evans. Evans believes the VR platform is a means to connect with the millennial demographic.
The popularity of VR technology is growing rapidly, and the industry is anticipated to be worth $21 billion by 2021. Adult entertainment studios like Naughty America and Kink have been using VR technology with positive results. Former stripper Janice Blaze Rocke tested the Gold Club SF VR virtual reality strip club, expressing cautious optimism for the future of the technology.
Several industries, including video games, music concerts, education, medicine, architecture, gambling, sports, and casinos, have adopted VR technology. However, the strip club industry is perceived as in need of a PR makeover, with many owners being out of touch with social media. The adoption of VR technology could help modernise the industry and appeal to new demographics.
The 25 Gentlemen's Club Expo at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas featured exhibitors planning to offer virtual reality strip club services. While clear public examples specific to strip clubs using VR to attract new demographics are not explicitly detailed in recent search results, given the broader city trend towards immersive tech, it is plausible strip clubs could adopt VR in the near future to innovate their customer engagement.
