Sapphire Las Vegas, the gentlemen’s club at 3025 Sammy Davis Jr. Drive in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be presenting a pair of robotic exotic dancers next week to coincide with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018. The electronic twins, dubbed “R2DoubleD” and “TripleCPU,” will be unveiled at the club at 8 p.m. EST on Monday (Jan. 8), reports said Friday.
“We thought this would be a great way to tie into the CES crowd,” Sapphire owner Peter Feinstein said during a phone call on Friday to the Las Vegas Review Journal.
“These robots are interesting because of the technology, and they’re a lot of fun. They really are art pieces, originally,” he added.
The twin robots were created by U.K.-based artist Giles Walker, and traveled all the way from London to make their debut on stage.

Sapphire Director of Marketing Shai Cohen was said to have noticed them in a YouTube clip about a street exhibit in Australia. They are said to be the first ever and only robot adult dancers to be found anywhere in the world.
Walker is also expected to join in the unveiling on Monday. CES exhibitors can RSVP at 702-869-0003, but the robots are open to any visitors from Tuesday through Jan. 12.
The club owner expressed his eagerness for the duo’s week-long stay.
"We thought, 'Why not have some fun with it?' This is Las Vegas."

An introductory video to the unveiling was posted on YouTube on Jan. 2 and has already garnered over 13,000 views at the time of publishing this story. Guests are invited to take photos with the robots and also interact with them. The club claims “their motherboards bring all the boys to the yard!,” according to the Review Journal.
