The Club was originally one of a chain of nightclubs owned and operated by Playboy Enterprises until 1991 with the first club opening in downtown Chicago in 1960. The clubs were just bars with entertainment featuring Playboy Bunnies serving drinks to members and performances by some of the biggest names in entertainment.

There is now only one Playboy Club in Chicago which is owned by Hugh Hefner opened in 1960. Playboy recently opened a new Playboy Club in Las Vegas, Nevada. The new club at The Palms with its very noticeable neon bunny head has casinos, bars, and a bathroom with pictures all over the walls of Playmates.The first service uniform registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office was The Playboy Bunny outfit.


Bunny girl facts.

The tight costume forced servers to bend at the knees, not the waist, when serving drinks; this maneuver became known as the "Bunny Dip".

The uniforms were custom made for each Bunny. There was usually a seamstress for each Club to maintain the fit.

Before every shift the Manager would weigh in each Bunny. Bunnies could not gain or lose more than one pound.

Playboy has some costumes in storage. Occasionally costumes are offered for sale on the internet.

Genuine Bunny costumes in good condition have sold for over $10,000.The only two on public display are in the collections of The Smithsonian and the Chicago History Museum.

I imagine it takes a long time to do a hub like this -- because you just can't take your eyes off the Bunnies. No? But it's very educational. I didn't know the Bunnies had to watch their weight that closely.

With the show "The Girls Next Door" I think Playboy just got mainstream all over again. It seemed it died out for short time, but now it's better than ever.
