Keep your wits about you, be respectful, and when all else fails, remember that the easiest way to get a Fey to like you is by giving them money.***

Each performer will do stage sets as well as interact with guests on the floor as original sci-fi characters that they've either created just for this occasion or perhaps some old favorites that they have always wanted to bring to life.
Note: Our performers are required to embody the characters they've chosen to become ALL NIGHT. Please don't ask them personal questions or try to force them to break character. It's a dick move.

XXX House Party presented by La Reina

It's an 80's to early 90's blast from the past, rated XXX- House Party at The Original Night Cap

What if you were transported to the mid to late 80's to a nightclub owned, employed, and collectively kept by babes with long nails, high heels, glamour shots and an inclination to climb on poles?

Come vibe in my favorite timestamp of the Bad Babes era- the 80's to the early 90's - and I mean big hair, bright lips, a monocramatic camp vision, a leopard on leopard on leopard paired with a jeans on jeans on jeans to finish it off with large jewelry.

Party like a high roller in a Cadilac and join our rotating cast of bodacious babes, dudes, hoochies, office dandies and sirens alike at The Original Nite Cap.

Retro Baddies Only!
Bring your ones or join the Very High Roller's Club and start with a stack of ones and a VIP gift bag to grab the best seats in the house.
