My first trip to Vegas was circa 2001, and then I didn't go for about 7 years. Since 2008 I've been going about 4 times a year. Anyways, I remember way back in 2001 that the old Frontier casino promoted bikini mud wrestling on their billboard out front. Did anybody ever attend those, and would they have been worthwhile to see? I also read somewhere that Gilley's at TI was doing the same thing circa 2007 on Tuesday and/or Wednesday nights. Anyone know if they still have it?
They must of canceled it http://m.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/gilleys-hosts-mud-wrestling-strip-vegas
I went one night in the mid 80s at the Frontier. It reminded me of that scene in "Stripes" with John Candy. I was staying at the Stardust and had a craving for one of the Frontier's great chili dogs and decided to check it out.
I wonder why Gilley's canceled the mud wrestling. I had a fun time watching the wrestling during my June 2013 trip. I recorded some good videos. xman30
I was in Vegas 10+ years ago with my oldest son who had recently turned 21. Gilley's at the New Frontier had the female mud wrestling on Wednesday nights. I think the advertisement was " Cold beer & dirty girls". The "mud" pit was surrounded with a split rail fence where we stood to watch the activities. The referee asked for volunteers to be towel boys for the contestants. My son is a pretty good sized guy, 6'3'' going about 220 lbs. I told him to raise his hand and by golly they threw him a towel and he got to towel down the girls ringside after each match. A group of people walked in after the matches started; they were all pretty drunk. Between one of the matches one of the guys in the group decided to strip down to his underwear and dive into the pit. The bouncers tried to coach this idiot into coming out, but he just stood in the middle and taunted them....big mistake. Finally this huge bouncer had to go into the mud pit to get this guy out....soiling his shoes and clothing...not a happy camper. He grabbed the drunk in a vise like headlock and tossed him out of the ring. The other two bouncers picked his ass up and he was out the door faster than you can say, "Bob's your uncle!"...without his clothes.
