The Playboy Club was initially a chain of nightclubs and resorts owned
and operated by Playboy Enterprises. The first club opened at 116 E.
Walton Street in downtown Chicago, Illinois, United States, on
February 29, 1960. Each club generally featured a Living Room, a
Playmate Bar, a Dining Room, and a Club Room. Members and their guests
were served food and drinks by Playboy Bunnies, some of whom were
featured in Playboy magazine. The clubs offered name entertainers and
comedians in the Club Rooms, and local musicians and the occasional
close-up magician in the Living Rooms. Starting with the London and
Jamaica club locations, the Playboy Club became international in
scope. In 1991, the club chain became defunct. Thereafter, on October
6, 2006 a Playboy Club was opened in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino
Resort, and in 2010 clubs were opened as well in Macao and Cancun. In
time the Las Vegas club closed on June 4, 2012, the Macao club closed
in 2013 and the Cancun club closed in 2014. In May 2014 the Commerce
Casino in Los Angeles opened a Playboy themed lounge consisting of
gaming tables and Playboy Bunny cocktail waitresses.On September 12,
2018 a Playboy Club was opened in New York City at 512 West 42nd
Street in Midtown Manhattan. Many questioned the wisdom of opening a
Playboy Club in the #MeToo era. On November 14, 2019, after just over
one year in operation, the owners of the new Playboy Club in New York
City announced the club had closed and the space would be re-branded
as a steak house and other entertainment venue.The first Playboy Club
opened in Chicago in 1960, and later there were clubs in Miami, New
Orleans, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Detroit, San Francisco,
Boston, Des Moines, Kansas City, Phoenix, Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Denver, Dallas, Buffalo, St. Petersburg, FL, Lansing, San Diego,
Columbus, Lake Geneva, WI, Omaha, and St. Louis. There was also a
Playboy Club in Canada, in Montreal. Playboy Clubs operated in Japan,
under a franchise arrangement, in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Sapporo.
There were Playboy Club resorts in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Great Gorge at
McAfee, New Jersey, and at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, as well as
Club-Hotels such as the Playboy Plaza in Miami Beach, Florida and
Playboy Towers in Chicago. The last American location before Playboy
Club Las Vegas opened was Lansing, Michigan, located in the Hilton
Hotel, which closed in 1988. International Clubs existed until the
1991 closing of the Manila, Philippines Club located in the Silahis
International Hotel. In 2010 International Clubs were opened in Macao
and Cancun but in time the Macao Club closed in 2013 and the Cancun
Club closed in 2014. Manila was the only Club ever to be featured in
Architectural Digest. During the last three months of 1961, more than
132,000 people visited the Chicago club, making it the busiest night
club in the world. Playboy Club membership became a status symbol.
Only 21% of all key holders ever went to a club. At $25.00 per year
per membership, Playboy grossed $25 million for every 1,000,000
members.The Rabbit-headed metal Playboy key (supplanted by a metal
key-card in 1966) was required for admission to a club. They were
presented to the Door Bunny. Through most of the years, a strict dress
code was enforced.[citation needed] Playboy Club Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
