Predictably, the wheels are falling off of John McCain’s campaign (Intrade currently puts his probability of winning the GOP nomination at 4.3%), but at least he’s going out in style:

In April, McCainiacs gathered at the Tabú Ultra Lounge in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. His finance reports say that he paid the club $18,735 for “Equip Rental/Catering.” The nightclub’s Web site describes it this way: “Interactive projections mesmerize with sensual images. Internationally renowned DJs conjure a cool and casual vibe that put it on everyone’s list of Las Vegas nightclubs. Stunning models/servers tempt with nouveau classic cocktails. This is the forbidden world of Tabú, where only one rule applies: anything goes. Are you ready for a nightspot that’s too hot to touch?”

…On May 17, it was Tenjune, a club in New York City, for a Young Professionals cocktail reception hosted by his daughter Meghan. McCain paid the club $6,669 twice, for “Catering/Personnel SVC/Equip.”

…The club’s Web site features a picture of two women in a sensuous embrace.

“As you descend the main stairway, you enter the middle section with its soft, velvet seating and wood flooring,” the site says. “Behind the bar, a marble wall twinkles with points of light. Overhead, wooden waves undulate across the ceiling with soft light spilling out between the ripples that continue into the dance room.”
