[Publisher's Note: There is only one way to get the real dirt on Hooter's Las Vegas--send in a female. Yup, HotelChatter's juliana has got the goods for you. Enjoy.]

Walking into Hooters Hotel Casino on a Sunday afternoon we expected to find overweight middle-aged men with bad hangovers and sleeveless NASCAR racing shirts.

There were a few of them, but surprisingly there were a lot of women. Not just the Hooters girls either, but regular women coming in and out of the guest lobbies, playing blackjack and slots and sitting at the bar. Inside there's even a store called, "Spice and Everything Nice" which sells clothing just for women, although with the Hooters logo (it was tempting not to buy the orange Hooters bikini.)

More on the feminist Hooters perspective after the jump.

Don't get us wrong. This place still caters to horny dudes. There are scantily clad Hooters girls everywhere, working the door, manning the taxi line, serving drinks (natch), and even a few dealing.

Plus there are slot machines with Hooter Calendar girls featured on the games, and picture of Hooters girls on some of the card tables, and in elevators.

Actually, especially the elevator. Now, if you are straight woman, everytime you step into the Hooters elevator you must either cringe, laugh or decide to start working out more. That's because painted on the inside of the elevator doors is a Hooters girl featured form the back. So you stare at her orange shorts and tight tank top and her firm behind. Oh and let's not forget those glorious white scrunch socks.

As for the hotel decor, the good news is that it is very clean and new. But it definitely has a down home kind of feel with three casual restaurants and a bbq stand by the pool. There is absolutely no luxury going on here.

The elevator banks on each floor are complete with four surfboards. Inside the rooms are tropical-inspired decor with faux-wood dressers, desks, and even table and barstools (with orange seat cushions of course.) The sheets and window dressing are thankfully not completely orange but instead a light-colored background with the Hooters palm trees in turquoise and orange.

We heard a rumour that the maids would also be dressed in Hooters uniforms, but this is not true. They were wearing khacki pants and a large, flowing tropical-print shirt.

Props to the hotel for some funny door tags like the "No Knockers" instead of "Do Not Disturb" and "Go Ahead: Make My Bed" for the OK to clean.

Now, the pool scene is supposed to be the hottest in town over the weekend but Sunday afternoons are tame. In fact, we even saw some children splashing around.

All in all, Hooters was not nearly as full of half-naked ladies and ogling men as we thought it would be. In fact, it almost seemed like a family joint with just a lot of done-up girls walking around in orange shorts. But then again that was a Sunday afternoon. Maybe it's a different scene on Saturday nights.
