Bunnies Were Let Go At The "Palms"

There have been reports for about the last week that the "Palms" had laid off the iconic Playboy bunnies at the Playboy Club and replaced them with contract girls. We emailed the "Palms" to get clarification on what happened but we received no response and now the Vegas Chatter website is reporting that yes indeed the bunnies were let go after talking too a couple of them. I'm sure cutting the bunnies is a big cost saving in these tough times but i wonder after the main stream press picks up the story what damage it will do to attendance if any. In the long run i wonder what this means for the future of the Playboy Club i can understand having to make cuts in these tough times but letting go of such high profile people as the bunnies is an interesting move.
