Rick’s or Scores, as long as glitter is still being applied to cleavage, everyone’s happy.

The long-running sale of Scores to Rick’s Cabaret is finally concluded, with Rick’s taking over the establishment after a renegotiation of the terms of sale. What does this mean for you, the consumer? In a word: boobs. They’ll continue to be found a-plenty at the venue. Really, what more could anyone ask?

This might happen eventually. Maybe.

With the tentative July 25 changeover date long gone, Rick’s Cabaret has announced that it and the landlord and seller of Scores Las Vegas have settled their differences over the assignment of the property’s lease, which affected the issuance of permits. Closing on the deal is expected within five days of the final permits being issued.

It’s a shame, too, because truckloads of fishnet and glitter shipments have been on hold pending a resolution to this takeover.

This gives everyone a couple more weeks to buy new acrylic, six-inch platform shoes.

After one delay, Scores Las Vegas was supposed to be transferred over to Rick’s Cabaret tomorrow, but now it looks like July 25 will be the new closing date, or within five days of the proper permits being issued. The original deal called for $16 million in cash and a $5 million debenture, but it has been restructured as $12 million in cash, a $5 million debenture and a $4 million promissory note. Which is to say, for every $20 lap dance you get, instead of roughly $5 going toward the debenture, now $10 will go to repaying loans. We’re not factoring the cost of stripper glitter into all this, because we assume it’s a tax write-off.

Soldiering on in the face of uncertain adversity. Because they’re professionals, dammit.

Rick’s Cabaret has pushed back the closing date on its acquisition of Scores Las Vegas to July 2. It was originally scheduled for today. According to a press release, the delay is to allow time for permits to be transferred. Don’t worry, lap dances will still be conducted in the meantime.

Well, it looks like someone’s going to finally cash in on that longtime fantasy of super-tall strippers who kind of look like Tony Soprano’s wife.

An NFL player hanging out with strippers? The hell you say.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Michael Bennett, coming off a 9-7 season that somehow saw the Bucs win their division by managing to be the least terrible team in the NFC South, was at the Scores Las Vegas Third Annual Golf Tournament Friday at Bali Hai Golf Club.

The tourney helped raise money for local charity The Shade Tree, but we’re sure Bennett was just there to work on his short game and it had nothing to do with the 100-plus Scores girls who were there. Nothing at all.

Not to be confused with Rick’s Cafe Americain.

Scores Las Vegas will be sold to national adult nightclub operator Rick’s Cabaret for $21 million. If only someone had told us it was for sale, we would’ve held a bake sale or something. It could’ve been the culmination of a dream we’ve had since we were a little tyke.

Closing on the deal is scheduled for June 10, and includes an option for Rick’s to buy the land on which the club sits. Rick’s Cabaret operates 18 clubs nationwide, including 11 in Texas. According to spokesman Allan Priaulx, the club will be rebranded as Rick’s Cabaret Las Vegas sometime shortly after the completion of the sale.

The Cinderella story, out of nowhere, a former exotic dancer now the Masters champion.

We’re big fans of hitting the links — mainly because it’s good cover to go outdoors and drink during the day. Much like anything else, though, a solid round on the back nine can be greatly enhanced by the presence of strippers.

Scores Las Vegas is holding its third annual golf tournament tomorrow at Bali Hai Golf Club with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit The Shade Tree, a local charity which helps homeless and abused women and children. Registration starts at 11:30 a.m., with a caddy auction starting at noon. Odds are good you’ll land one considerably more attractive than Danny Noonan; and if you’re lucky, you’ll win a girl who’ll shimmy on the pin to help you aim.

Other highlights include DJs, open bar, gift bags and contests for $1,500 per foursome (No, not that kind of foursome. That would pretty much ruin the green on 18.)

Dave, take off the f’ing mittens. You look like a hobo rolled you and switched your clothes.

Because apparently Jesse Jane didn’t get the right answers the first time the host of Playboy TV’s Naughty Amateur Home Videos was with former Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro and porn star Stormy Daniels at Scores last night to ask what makes Las Vegas sexy.

The answer? Mandatory six-inch stripper wedgies for every citizen of Clark County. Sure, the kids complain at first, but by the end of elementary school, they’re used to it.

Navarro gets a lot of credit as a guitarist, but have you heard “Jane Says?” It’s two chords over and over again for five full minutes. When even steel drums can’t keep your song from being a droning dirge, maybe it’s time to think about throwing a third chord in there, huh?

No, really, the draw is all the sports they show.

Will UCLA take it all? Will UNLV get out of the first round? Will anyone recognize that Mississippi Valley State isn’t a community college that specializes in air conditioner repair? Who cares, Scores Las Vegas has naked girls, and as we all know, boobs beat basketball.

From 7-10 p.m. Thursday, the gentlemen’s club will host a SpyOnVegas.com Open Bar, featuring Stoli Blueberi Berry Fusion Lemonade cocktails. Because nothing captures the desperation of trying to hit an open trey at the buzzer to pull off the miracle upset of a dominant No. 2 seed quite like … blueberry.

If you like your basketball with considerably less nudity (though we can’t fathom why you would), the 40/40 Club at Palazzo will be open early for the first round of the NCAA tournament. Jay-Z’s joint will welcome the tremendously hung over and the beer-for-breakfast crowd starting at 9 a.m. Thursday and Friday.
