Histori
Built in North Las Vegas in 1969 by the Paul Perry family. One of the important differences between Palomino and other Las Vegas strip clubs, is allowed to have liquor licenses, and strippers. Other clubs with liquor licenses are limited to topless dancers. This difference, according to owner 2003-2006 Luis Hidalgo Jr., is because the club was ruled until about 2025 with different rules.
In 2000, a high profile murder trial involves the son of a Palomino Club owner, Jack Perry, who shot and killed one of the employees he thought was trying to buy the club. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 14 years in prison for life.
In 2002, the owner of the club "Olympic Park" sued Palomino owners, claiming they were conspiring with taxi drivers to divert customers. That is definitely a common practice for some clubs, such as Palomino and Cheetah, to offer $ 5- $ 25 per customer for taxi drivers, to encourage drivers to bring customers to their clubs than anyone else. This puts a "non-kickback" club like the injured Olympic Garden. The case was finally dropped. (Jordan, 2004)
Luis Hidalgo, Jr., took over the club in 2003. One of his changes was to start the nude action of all men, known as "Palomino Stallions," to try to attract female customers.
In 2005, Luis Hidalgo Jr., his son, Luis Hidalgo III. and old boyfriend Hidalgo, Jr., Anabel Espindola, were indicted - and ultimately found guilty - as co-conspirators in a contractual killing of a former employee who had told a competitor that Hidalgo Jr. still paying taxi drivers to divert customers to Club Palomino. Their former door-keeper, Timothy TJ Hadland, was found shot dead on the road near Lake Mead on May 19, 2005, just two weeks after leaving the club. Three other Palomino employees, and real killers, were also found guilty of allegations related to Hadland's murder. Their case was later shown on The First 48 TV show on March 31, 2011 as "Lost Episode".
In 2007, Hidalgo sold the club to his lawyer, Dominic Gentile, to cover legal fees. Gentile was one of the more prominent defense attorneys in the city, and accepted the land as payment from the former owner of Palomino, Luis Hidalgo Jr. in exchange for Gentile's representation of Hidalgo in a May 19, 2005 investigation, shot Timothy Hadland's death. Dominic in turn changed the club's operations to his son, Adam Gentile, who had previously been General Manager of Club Paradise.
In 2009 Gentile let the camera into the club to film the King Of Clubs , a series of new realities scheduled to premiere in fall 2009 on Playboy TV. In the same year (2009), Hidalgo, Jr. and his son was sentenced to life in prison. Her son's boyfriend filed a plea for a voluntary murder in exchange for his testimony.
For the record, Adam Gentile battled a number of amateur MMA fights and retired from combat in 2014. Also noted, his main training partner and instructor was Brent Jordan, another famous old MMA fighter and hitter who wrote a book about his experience being a bouncer for 20 years, earlier at the Cheetah in Las Vegas, and currently works as a VIP host for Palomino Club.
