Super Bowl turns Dallas into party town

DALLAS, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- People with money can party with celebrities during Super Bowl festivities in Dallas but there are lower-budget options too, hospitality industry officials say.

For those without the $80,000 for a stageside cabana at the Black Eyed Peas show hosted by Sports Illustrated or the $1,250 for a ticket to the Playboy party, the local strip clubs are putting out the welcome mat, The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday.

"Football is a guy's sport," said John Walsh, who manages Showtime Cabaret in Kennedale. "When guys get out of town, there's a couple things they want to see -- a good game and good-looking women."

Walsh said he would hire about temporary dancers to add to the 60 normally working for him. They are likely to come from the ranks of strippers and dancers moving into the area for the Super Bowl.

Deputy Police Chief Andrew Accord expects prostitution to be conducted discreetly.

"Most of it will most likely be underground and at the higher levels, versus the street level," he said.
