A LAS VEGAS strip club is trying to get more vaccinated by offering shots with a view.
Visitors to Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in Nevada will be able to get a booster or vaccine on Tuesday in partnership with Immunize Nevada through its "Boobs for Boosters" popup clinic.
“With the Omicron variant on the rise and an influx in holiday travel, we felt it was necessary to launch a second vaccination campaign at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club Las Vegas,” said GoBEST founder Jason Mohney.
“With the club being conveniently located just off the I-15 near the Las Vegas Strip, we hope to appeal to tourists and locals alike, including the club’s entertainers and staff.”
Anyone who shows up at the strip club can get both first and second doses of either Pfizer and Moderna, or a shot of Johnson and Johnson.
People can also get a booster shot if they have not already gotten one of either Pfizer or Moderna.
Other vaccines like a regular-dose flu vaccine or higher-dose ones for those ages 65 and up will also be available.
But wait, there's more: those who can show proof of being fully vaccinated and having received a booster will get a $200 gift card for all of GoBest's venues and dinner for two at one of its restaurants.

The club also did a similar pop-up vaccine clinic in May of this year, which was met with equal appreciation as this one from the health department.
“This is just another way to access our population,” said JoAnn Rupiper, the chief nurse of the Southern Nevada Health District. “It might attract some people who like the novelty of it, I suppose.”
The move seems to be helping encourage people to get their vaccine should they be putting it off.
“I’ve been here so many — I’ve been here a few times. … Maybe 10 times, give or take,” Roberto Montti said, who lives near the strip club.
About 46 percent of the state's population aged 12 and up has received at least one shot of the vaccine, but health officials are saying its seen a steep dropoff in demand.
The state is turning to popup vaccination clinics to help reach its goal of 75 percent vaccination in the state.
Expert studies have shown that the risk of severe illness from Covid-19 is reduced by 90 percent or more among people who are fully vaccinated.
While there are breakthrough cases of Covid among people who are vaccinated, they are rare.
In the event of a breakthrough case, victims are highly unlikely to be hospitalized with severe or deadly symptoms from the virus.
Health officials have advised that the Omicron variant is more infectious and could lead to further breakthrough cases.
Yet the spread can be offset by all vaccinated Americans receiving a booster shot.
Current vaccines are expected to protect against severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths due to infection with the Omicron variant.
With other variants, like Delta, vaccines have remained effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and death.
Studies have also shown that side effects from the virus are also extremely rare.
