CHEYENNE, Wyo. Exotic dancers are now getting back to work at a gentlemans club that straddles the Colorado-Wyoming border.
Although some of the property is in Colorado, The Den is technically in Wyoming.
When they reopened the restaurants and bars in Wyoming we were super excited because its been very difficult for us, owner Kim Chavez told FOX31.
Its been horrible to go almost three months without any kind of income, Kims husband and co-owner Greg Chavez said.
Wyoming has seen significantly fewer COVID-19 cases and deaths than Colorado. The state allowed bars and restaurants to reopen to in-person service on Friday. That includes The Den.
It was pretty busy, Greg said. People had money to spend and people were out. I think they were excited to be feeling normal again.
The Chavezs say Wyoming has not provided specific information about how many people they are allowed to have inside at once. They still limited it to about 50 customers at a time which is half of their max capacity.
Business was good. The girls made decent money. It was almost like back to normal almost. It was almost like a regular Friday or Saturday, Greg said.
The Den is one of the first strip clubs in the country to reopen.
Last night was crazy. We had people from Omaha and Utah, Nebraska, South Dakota. They made the trip, Kim said.
While things start to get back to normal, things are also very different inside the club.
We just need to practice social distancing. We need to make sure that our customers feel safe when theyre here. We need to protect our staff. And just make sure that were doing our best to keep everybody protected and safe, Kim said.
All dancers and staff must wear masks inside the club.
As long as I get to work and start bringing in money again Im okay with it right now, dancer Jenny Boswell said.
She says the mask makes the job more difficult while on stage.
Were on eight-inch heels and obviously a mask sometimes messes with your vision like I need to be able to see where my feet are going, she said. In eight-inch heels it could be deadly.
The Den has also adopted strict social distancing guidelines. No contact is allowed whatsoever.
We can do the dances on stage, but no lap dances, Greg said.
The Den is not requiring customers to wear masks, but they are providing masks to anyone who wants one. Customers are also required to use hand sanitizer before entering the club.
Staff are sanitizing the bar, tables, chairs every time a customer moves. Dancers must use hand sanitizer before going on stage and must sanitize the pole before dancing on it.
Its not different than Walmart home depot or any place else that is letting a bunch of people in. My club is safe. Were following all the same guidelines. Were taking all the same precautions, Greg said.

Be careful while you are dancing on stage...With a mask on...
No lap dance at this time...I don't think that is going to be a permanent policy...The club will eventually go back to being normal...
will the lap dance be 6 feet away?
LOL...
WHAT, HUH?
Using “Exotic dancers”, “gentlemans club” and “straddles” in the same sentence is probably not a good idea.
LOL...
Can’t establish guilt or innocence w/o pics.
lol...gmta

Hmmm. Could open up new possibilities in their routines!
So their mouths are masked but their snatch is open? Is that safe based on CDC guidelines?
Maybe the patrons will have to spread a Hefty bag across their laps...
It’s funny to envision strippers wearing a mask but nothing else.
What if we want to see her pretty face?
ROADTRIP!!!!

= = = = = = = =
Oh, so many one liners this particular remark brings to mind.
I am surprised that this portion is still open...
Oh well....<: <: <:
No clam jam on the pole ladies!
Only for Jabba the Hut.
It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot mask
That she wore for the first time today...
Fonzie’s fiance wore a mask as ‘The Lone Stripper’ long before these girls.
