Sin City Swingers Party Weekend in Las Vegas

It’s the start of another weekend, and we’re still recovering from the last one. But oh, what a series of parties!

It started Wednesday, with friends and Kasidie members arriving in town. People grouped together and went to the new Stripper Murder Mystery play. Sexy and fun. After which some people went to a late dinner while others hooked up for some playtime.

Thursday evening with Girls Uncorked, the monthly wine party for women in the lifestyle that happens the 3rd thursday of every month in 19 cities around the country. The Vegas chapter had a lot of visitors this month! The girls drank and talked, and talked and talked. Wrapping up around 10:00pm when the guys arrived to fetch their inebriated wifes and girlfriends. Some stayed at the hostesses house for a private after-party, some went to check out the new Hustler Club, but most locals headed home due to work the next day. But it was an AMAZING party and all the girls had a blast.

Friday was a party at Kasidie Mansion, hosted by Scott and Nicoleta, with a Playboy theme. Over 120 couples and 10 single girls (no single guys) were dressed in theme…most of the girls in skimpy lingerie and many in full Playboy Bunny outfits. DJ’s Cynful and Synchronicity provided the music as people danced, flirted and played until 4:00am. The vibe was absolutely amazing, just fantastic energy. The sad thing about being the hosts at a party is that as much as we say “we’re not going to work, we’re going to enjoy the party and have fun” the reality is that we always wind up working and rarely get the chance to play. But the guests sure did…there were 10 play areas set up around the house, and they were all going crazy with hot, naked couples from start to finish!

Saturday started with a pool party at the Palms. We had a 2 story bungalow and a cabana filled with hot, string-bikini’d girls and their guys. It’s not a topless pool (boo!) but the bikini’s were skimpy and cokctails flowed continuously. A good start for the evening.

Saturday night kicked off at Posh, the new nightclub at the Crazy Horst III strip club. Lasers, great DJ’s, girls dressed in clubwear with very little fabric. We got there at midnight, met people, danced, and flirted until 2:00am when we headed to the after party in the Crib Suite at the Palms. The girls were naked almost from the start, and people were playing in both bedrooms, in the shower (with a stripper pole in it), in the jacuzzi, and even on the pool table in the living room. Complete debauchery and a lot of fun. We left at sunrise, the first one we’ve seen in awhile, with huge smiles on our faces (and a “sore pussy”).

Sunday was all about being topless and flirty at the pool. Everyone partied at the Artisan, where we had cabanas, daybeds and a sectioned off area. The vanillas just watched as our girls flirted with each other, gave lap dances and had a great time in the sun. We left at 6:00pm, exhausted from a long weekend of fun. Did we really have to go back to work? Ahhh….well at least next weekend is Memorial Day!

EPISODE 3

THUSDAY/FRIDAY: Kimberly and Michael are the newbie couple. They’re from Boca Raton, very cute and have great energy. Also CNKISS from Utah and 2SEXYASSETS from Las Vegas joined the cast; the energy has spiked big time now that we finally have a great group of residents who are full swap swingers. Clayton and I really connected with the Kimberly (who also had the hots for Megan and Garren), Nicoleta was very into Michael, we hope the cameras got it all!

The weather has been overcast and cool, which makes the outdoor scenes a challenge. It’d also been dampening the vibe in the house. But with the new cast members things have changed and tonight should be a lot of fun!

The theme this evening is Casino Night, so the girls got to dress up elegantly for the first time (and most likely last!) and the guys were styled. We thought we’d nail the theme, with Nicoleta in her gold dress and Scott in full tuxedo, and then Garren comes down wearing only a bow tie; damn, okay, he wins the evening. We played “truth or dare”, filled with sexy interactions which naturally leads to an orgy in the downstairs red room. Everyone in the house is having fun. Naturally the girls lead the show, as they all get naked and play. Then the guys start joining in and it goes wild. We had sex for a long time and really hit it off with Kimberly and Michael. In fact, she may even start a Girls Uncorked chapter in Boca, how cool would that be! The energy eventually winds down, very late it’s just Ashley and Scott messing around in the pool by themselves.

Kasidie Acquires AmericanLowLife in Las Vegas

Kasidie.com acquires Las Vegas swingers community AmericanLowLife.com.

(Las Vegas, NV, May 7, 2010) – Kasidie.com announced today the acquisition of AmericanLowLife.com, the only regional online swingers community serving Las Vegas. By combining their 24,000 mostly local members with the Kasidie national database, the combined firm is now the defacto market leader in Las Vegas catering to the swinging lifestyle and is well positioned to continue its growth in nearby Southern California and the Pacific southwest. The combined firm already has over 275 swingers parties posted nationally, and 84 just for Nevada and California.

“We are very excited to be part of the Kasidie team” said Bruce Dyer, AmericanLowLife’s founder and President, “with their technology platform and features we finally get to offer our members a full set of social features, while retaining the ability to provide irreverent insights and information to the global audience of Las Vegas visitors”. Scott Purcell, Kasidie’s President added “AmericanLowLife has a fantastic reputation with both local and national swingers who visit Vegas, which stems from the same core values both organizations share in their passion for the swinging community and focus on customer service. We’re going to do some fantastic things together!”

The engineers from both companies are now working together to import the member accounts into the Kasidie system; no small feat when working with highly disparate database structures. Although the days of free memberships are now gone, the lesson learned is simply that free services simply cannot pay the costs associated with hiring engineers, customer service personnel, and other employees, as well as costs of servers, hosting, internet bandwidth and other business operating expenses. However AmericanLowLife.com will continue as a free portal with information about nightclubs, restaurants, pools, swinger clubs, stage productions and other activities for all Las Vegas visitors.

Kasidie’s 1st Anniversary, a Letter from the Publishers

One year ago today, in the teeth of the biggest recession since the Great Depression, we launched Kasidie as a community for sexually social couples, singles and groups. Wow, what a time to start a new business!

 

And what a ride it’s been! Thanks to your help there are now thousands of people using Kasidie every day to make friends, join communities, attend parties and meet up with likeminded people. As we told everyone on the team from the very start, the goal of Kasidie is to get people socializing online and, most importantly, in the real world.

 

At times it seemed like things went so slowly. We had great design, but only a handful of applications at our initial launch. We had a fantastic core group of friends, but only a dozen or so new members joining every day. We worked in close association with clubs and founding members to identify key applications, then to get them designed, built and added to the site. Profiles were enhanced, photo albums expanded, flirts and friends added, email overhauled, party creation & posting utilities built, the affiliate program designed and integrated, and…most importantly…communities built and launched; coding everything from scratch so we control the code 100% in-house. And we’ve seen daily member growth jump tenfold as we’ve rolled out the new stuff.

 

This year we also…

• Won the Sybarite Award from HedoOnline as the Best New Site
• Appeared on the Tyra Banks show
• Published new writers, bloggers, photographers and cartoonists in the magazine
• Hosted our 1st annual takeover of Desire Resort, Cancun
• Opened 9 Girls Uncorked chapters in cities around the USA
• Joined the Board of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom
• Became an Xbiz finalist for the Best Adult Dating Site (award ceremony next Feb)
• Were nominated for the 2010 Windy Clitty Award in Chicago
• Saw over 1,200 parties and travel events posted on Kasidie
• Watched members create over 140 communities in the first 60 days since roll out

 Watch what happens in 2010!

• More members, as we shift from building applications to massively building the community in every city
• More applications, as we build and launch Forums, Mobile, and other neat utilities
• More parties, over 3,000 parties and travel events will be posted next year
• More travel, Kasidie takeovers to Desire and Las Vegas, and club & travel agent cruises and trips all over the world
• More clubs, as we actively work with both established and up-and-coming promoters to help them start and grow their businesses
• More communities as people start hundreds of local groups for camping, photography, dining, sports, and all kinds of sexual preferences
• More friends and more fun!

Thanks for being part of making Kasidie.com what it is today, and what it’ll become in the future. It’s exciting to be here with you, at the start, as we set the stage for amazing things.

For now, well, get out there…attend a party, go on a trip, join or start a community, refer your friends and meet up with new friends! We’re all here for the same reason, to hang out with uninhibited people, live a life less ordinary and be sexually social.

 

So happy anniversary from all of us at Kasidie. And here’s a New Years toast to this lifestyle that we’re all lucky enough to be part of!

 

Your Friends,

 

Nicoleta & Scott

Vanilla New Years Eve, You’ve Got to be Kidding

I got an email this afternoon from a hot club in Las Vegas touting their New Years Eve party – “Tables start out at only $1,000 and general admission tickets are just $200″. Oh yes, DJ Vice will be spinning there, whoever that is.

Why would anyone go there? The music will be so loud you won’t be able to have a conversation, and the club will be so packed it’ll be almost impossible to dance. Sure, there will be attractive, well dressed people, but as vanillas they don’t engage or talk with other people. And drinks will be $15 – $20 each, providing you aren’t spending $200+ on bottles of vodka.

Yeah, I’m venting here. And unbelievably happy to be in the lifestyle. There are swingers parties posted on Kasidie.com by groups and clubs all over the country. Everything from fantastic house parties, to professionally produced swinger club parties, to complete hotel takeovers. Most are pretty cheap (compared to vanilla clubs), all are filled with fun, sexy, well dressed, uninhibited people who are there to socialize, meet new friends and have fun.

I know some people just want to roll, sit back in semi-isolation with a few friends, and have great music reverberating their bodies. That’s cool. But for us these vanilla parties are crushingly boring. We’d rather flirt and fuck than chill and people watch. We are in this to be social, to engage with people. Vanillas really don’t have any options, and many prefer their state of repression to actually changing their lives. Fine, we pity them. And we really don’t want to spend New Years Eve with them.

Kasidie Features and Tools, Kinda Like a Video Game

How do you build a feature-rich, complex product and yet make it user-friendly? The answer is to build it like a video game.

This is easier said than done, or course, as it means a LOT of extra work for designers and programmers. But if you can pull it off then you will have a service (application) that is engaging and easy to use for new members. At the same time, there is depth of features that more experienced gamers…er, I mean members…will discover and use.

If we’ve done our work right, then that’s a bit how you will find Kasidie! When you sign up, it’s easy to use: you can check mail, upload photos, make friends, play with Flash ‘Em and search parties, members and clubs. Fun and intuitive!

Now, as you get more experienced on the site, you’ll want shortcuts and more functionality. And we’ve built a lot of that in! Here are some tips and tricks for the experienced Kasidier (vs gamer)…
1. Shortcut to Edit Profile - when you log on and are in My Home, just click your profile photo
2. Close a photo you are looking at (when in someones photo album), just click anywhere in the black area above the photo
3. Scroll next/back when looking at photos; no need to click the arrows, just click anywhere on the left or right side of the photo
4. Organize your email - click to create (or rename) email folders, then move your email into the folder
5. Oops, recall an email; as long as the receiver hasn’t read it yet, you can recall the email by going into your Sent mail folder and clicking “Recall this Email” next to the message. It’ll be removed from their inbox
6. Rearrange Email Folders - click Edit, then simply drag & drop the folder into the order you want
7. Private notes on friends are easily managed by clicking “My Friends” and then adding your notes under each friend. You can edit and add to the notes as often as you want
8. Rearrange photos in a photo album - easy, just click on My Profile and the the photo album you want to reorganize. Now use the small green link to “Click to Arrange Photos” and drag & drop them in whatever order you want
9. Chose a new photo album cover photo - when you are in your album, under each photo you will see a “Click to edit or delete”. Click this under the photo that you want to be the album cover and check the box to designate it as such
10. Rearrange photo albums - if you are like us, you have a LOT of “Travel & Party” photo albums. To change their display order click the bottom link to “See all of my photo albums” and then on that page click the green link that says “Click to Arrange Photo Albums”, then drag and drop them into whatever position you want
11. Setting & Clearing Search Criteria - the system automatically remembers your most recent search settings (since most people search for the same, or only slightly changed, things again and again). If you want to clear the settings? Easy, just click the link at the top of the search page that says “Click here to clear all search selections”
12. Search for people who like (wine, camping, fetish, hobbies, etc) – just click the “Enhanced Search” button at the bottom of the Search Profiles page
13. Hide an album cover photo so people can’t see it – there’s no need, we built the system so uncertified members see a “Certification Req’d” graphic on the gold albums (instead of your cover photo), and so your private photo albums display a “Locked” graphic to anyone who doesn’t have a Backstage Pass from you!

Whew, okay, a bakers dozen is enough for now. Have fun exploring Kasidie and discovering all the “hidden” tools and features we’ve added for you! Click here to log on to your account at Kasidie.com
