Las Vegas - Live strippers on the back of a truck is too much - even for Sin City.
A strip club has agreed to stop an advertising promotion that involved driving bikini-clad exotic dancers around in a truck.
Larry Beard, marketing director of Deja Vu Showgirls, said he was taking his lawyer's advice and parking the truck.
"We're going to respect the opinion of the folks that are against it," Beard said. "We're going to be good citizens and take it off the street."
He had said earlier that he was prepared to fight county leaders and others who thought the moving truck promotion was unseemly or unsafe.

"The girls are wearing more than the girls at the swimming pool wear," Beard said. "Even though they're not stripping and taking their clothes off I think people are offended because of the idea that they do."
The truck rolled for 13 nights along the Las Vegas Strip from 10pm until 2am, trying to lure customers to the club. Three sides had windows that weren't tinted, offering views of the strippers dancing around a pole.
Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak said he received calls from citizens who hated it and others who liked it, but he considered the truck a safety problem.
"It's a distraction," Sisolak said. "Somebody's going to turn their head to look at a girl flipping and spinning on a pole, and take their eyes off the road and swerve and hit a bunch of tourists on the sidewalk." - Sapa-AP
