Vegas schools take gift raised by strip club

LAS VEGAS -- The Clark County School District kicked off the first day of school Wednesday with scant resources. But it got a major donation from the scantily clad.

The nonprofit corporation that supports the school district, the Public Education Foundation, accepted a $2,500 donation from a strip club, Scores Las Vegas.

Scores raised the funds at a back-to-school event called ''Detention'' that featured strippers dressed as teachers, schoolgirls and librarians.

''It's back to school time and you know what that means. Detention for everyone who has been bad!'' one advertisement read.

'Money is money'

The performers peeled off clothes and offered lap dances to customers, said Scores' marketing director, Shai Cohen.

''In this town, money is money, regardless,'' Cohen said.
