Ten random things: March 6

Ten former locations of the Playboy Club:

1. Cincinnati, Ohio
2. Lake Geneva, Wis.
3. New York, N.Y.
4. Vernon, N.J.
5. Sapporo, Japan
6. Detroit, Mich.
7. Nassau, Bahamas
8. San Diego, Calif.
9. Baltimore, Md.
10. Denver, Colo.

At one time, there were 36 Playboy Clubs around the world, plus resorts in Lake Geneva and Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The last of the original clubs in the United States -- in Lansing, Michigan, of all places -- closed in 1988. A location in Manila remained open until 1991. More recently, a new Playboy Club opened at the Palms Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. Myself, I'd just as soon go back to the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton, but that's just me.
