Scottsdale, AZ - The Concerned Citizens of Scottsdale (CCS) are urgently calling for immediate intervention regarding Dream Palace, a strip club located near Old Town Scottsdale. Recent reports have surfaced alleging incidents of patrons being drugged, subjected to fraudulent charges, and exposed to unsafe practices within the establishment. As Scottsdale continues to attract visitors, many of whom arrive already intoxicated from nearby bars, CCS implores both residents and tourists to exercise heightened vigilance to safeguard themselves from potential dangers.
Multiple patrons have reported experiences of having their drinks tampered with, leading to significant financial losses and severe health risks. Some individuals have discovered unauthorized charges on their credit cards following visits to the club, while others have recounted episodes of disorientation and confusion during their time there. These disturbing accounts have raised serious concerns about the safety and integrity of Dream Palace.
In response to these grave allegations, CCS is taking decisive action to raise public awareness, educate the community, and advocate for immediate measures to protect Scottsdale's residents and visitors.

Advocacy for Policy Changes: Pushing for stricter regulations and oversight of establishments like Dream Palace to prevent future incidents and ensure a safe environment for all patrons.
Recommendations for Personal Safety:
Stay Vigilant: Always keep an eye on your drink. If you leave it unattended, consider it compromised and obtain a new one.
