STRIPPERS at an exclusive new Las Vegas nightspot have been tattooed with barcodes - so sneaky punters can tip without their other half finding out.

The Legends Room is the first to make the innovative move which enables regulars to pay secretly with a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.

6 The club's performers say they prefer Bitcoin payments as they are more discreet

The move was the idea of the club's owner Nick Blomgren a well-known martial arts master and businessman.

He told LasVegasNow: "We came up with an idea probably about a year and a half ago of how we could turn this Bitcoin into something.

"So we were brainstorming. First, we were thinking about a fight company because I own a mixed martial arts gym."

But after throwing out idea after idea, Blomgren said there was one that stood out from the rest.

"I was like well that would work better in a strip club," Blomgren said.

"It's the best place to spend it if you don't want your wife to know or you don't want your boyfriend to know," he said.

Customers who already own a cryptocurrency account can spend it by paying from their digital wallet - a transaction that will remain 100 per cent secret.

Some of the exotic dancers even wear temporary QR code tattoos that can be scanned so they can be paid.

"And that's how we do private rooms," said Brenna Sparks, an adult performer.

The says she became interested in cryptocurrency when she was just 19 years old, seven years ago.

"It's peer to peer. It's anonymous, and it's instant," Sparks said.

Sparks says she and her friends think Bitcoin may be the future for adult entertainment workers.

"I'm not going to name names, but there are certain banks that... will shut down your account and actually deny you from having an account because we work in the adult entertainment industry," said Summer Chase, adult entertainment worker.
