World's Largest Strip Club Hit With Wage Suit

Attached is the initial complaint in a recently filed lawsuit against the Sapphire Gentleman's Club in Las Vegas, which bills itself as the world's largest strip club. As with other strip club cases discussed in earlier posts, the lawsuit contends that Sapphire misclassified its dancers as independent contractors. The dancers apparently worked only for tips and did not receive overtime. According to the lawsuit, Sapphire maintained so much control over how the dancers did their jobs that the dancers actually were employees not independent contractors.
