 SEATTLE (AP) - The City Council on Monday approved some of the strictest adult-entertainment regulations of any big city in the country, banning lap dances and the tipping of dancers in their G-strings.
The council voted 5-4 to require that dancers stay 4 feet from patrons, and that the clubs maintain at least parking-garage brightness throughout the premises. Private rooms will not be allowed and patrons will be offered a tip jar, instead dealing directly with dancers.
"For the most part, the attraction's gone," said Gil Levy, a lawyer for Rick's adult nightclub in Seattle. "It will make the clubs less fun."
