A strip club in Las Vegas is offering free lap dances to customers affected by a cyberattack at MGM Resorts, reports the NY Post. Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club in Vegas is extending its services to those experiencing check-in delays by providing free luggage storage and airport pickup services. In addition, they are offering a complimentary $1,200 platinum VIP membership along with lap dances.
The club’s general manager, Brittany Rose, says she wants to help customers and employees feel less stressed.
“Our hearts go out to both the employees as well as the tourists who have been affected by this devastating event. As members of the hospitality industry, we decided to do our part to help improve the guest experience during their visit to Las Vegas which will in turn alleviate the stress of the employees who are so diligently handling the situation,”
Rose said.
MGM Resorts International, based in Nevada, reported a cyberattack in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday. The attack caused a computer outage on Monday, impacting operations at numerous MGM locations.
“MGM Resorts recently identified a cybersecurity issue affecting certain of the company’s systems,”
an MGM spokesperson said in a statement.
“Promptly after detecting the issue, we began an investigation with assistance from leading external cybersecurity experts. We also notified law enforcement and are taking steps to protect our systems and data, including shutting down certain systems. Our investigation is ongoing, and we are working diligently to resolve the matter. The company will continue to implement measures to secure its business operations and take additional steps as appropriate.”
As a result of the cyberattack, MGM Resorts had to resort to manual operations, according to FOX 5 Las Vegas. The attack also affected the credit card machines at their properties.
