Reminds me a bit of how bars have done ladies night promotions in which girls get free drinks. It paid off because all the girls there drew in male paying customers.

Some people shouldn’t be allowed in at all because of possible eye damage to the beautiful people.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, who is to say who is pretty and who is not?

Restaurants can do what ever they like. Long ago, my family had a restaurant in Deadwood, They let “Wild Bill” Hickcok eat for free—as he was the town lawman his presence made sure the lawlessness of the gold rush town didn’t come into their business. Also, it was good to be known as a friend of “Wild Bill”—besides he was “Wild Bill”.

I was at The Sands in Vegas one lunchtime. I met an attractive young woman eating lunch alone, so naturally I asked if I could join her. Turns out she was a “spokesmodel” who worked conventions and trade shows and the like. If she showed up at the poolside bar in a bathing suit they’d comp her for lunch. I looked around and there were a few more like her. So the Sands was paying for eyecandy to hang around.

Hey, it worked, I ate lunch at the pool bar more than once!

On the other hand, when me and my scruffy dusty camo’d pals showed up in the main casino after a day on the range, a Sands employee suggested that we go to a small bar out of the way in the back, for a free beer! They paid us to be out of sight.
