Lil’ Buddy Runs Up $30K Bill in Vegas Strip Club and then Sues Owner of Club

Las Vegas, NV – 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, MA, says he flew to Las Vegas Oct. 11 to attend the Direct Marketing Association Trade Show. After 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.

But the lawsuit says that after he challenged the charges, Club Paradise provided him with documents purportedly signed by Hackett in connection with the charges.

The documents said the club is not involved with prostitution or escort services, that he was not drunk or impaired and that he was not under duress when he purportedly signed the documents, the lawsuit says.

“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.

First off, how much of a punk lil’ buddy are you if you are blacking out after drinking three vodka martinis during the Red Sox game?  That is just crap and if it is true you need to read some articles by our boy Cliff, on how to be a man. Real men don’t black out after three vodka martinis. 

And if you are a lil’ punk, why are you bringing it to everyone’s attention? Just so you don’t get cussed out by your wife?  Guess what? You are going to get cussed out by your wife regardless and now you look like this guy who gets drunk off of three martinis and then spends $25K on some strippers.

Squad up and say you drank until you couldn’t drink anymore, went to the club, stayed a lil’ longer than you should have, spent a lil’ more money than you should have, and then woke up alone in  your bed with a credit card bill that nearly reached $30K.

Instead you act like a lil’ punk, cry about somebody stealing your wallet, and signing the receipts with your exact signature.

Seriously, Squad Up Mr. Hackett.
