THE 5 BEST STRIP CLUBS IN LAS VEGAS
Looking for a place to hold a pal’s bachelor party? Hit a jackpot at a casino and have money to burn? Head to a Sin City strip club. With dozens to choose from—including Larry Flynt’s eye-candy palace—we sent a reporter to narrow down the list to five ultracool establishments that provide a bevy of dreamgirls and more bang for the buck.

MICHAEL USLAN: BATMAN'S LIFELONG CRUSADER
“If you burn with a passion and follow your dreams, they will indeed come true” is how Michael Uslan describes his journey from “comic book geek” to executive producer of the Batman movies. With The Dark Knight Rises—the franchise’s latest chapter— coming soon, editor Keith Valcourt wasted no time getting an exclusive Q&A with Batman’s most ardent fan. Uslan recalls everything from his childhood fascination with the Caped Crusader to landing a DC Comics gig, where he first found “a way to show the world what the dark and serious Batman was like.”

INSIDE THE KOCH BROTHERS' WAR ON BARACK OBAMA
Billionaires Charles and David Koch hosted a secret powwow at a ritzy Colorado resort. The 300 or so corporate and political bigwigs on hand were encouraged to open their wallets for “the Mother of All Wars,” namely the neocon Koch brothers’ efforts to “save America” by putting a Republican in the White House.Thanks to investigative reporter Brad Friedman, who obtained audiotapes of the sinister proceedings, you’ll be seeing red when you hear the speakers’ incendiary remarks.

CARINA ROMAN: FROM TYRANNY TO HARLOTRY
Carina Roman’s life has been rife with pricks. She grew up in Romania during the oppressive reign of a Commie dictator, then escaped to Utah of all places, where she wed a Mormon who wanted her to join a polygamist cult. Now Carina has found her salvation as a prick-worshipping porn star and swinger. Join writer M. Allen Nathan as he spends an eventful day with Carina, who enjoys getting naked even for a stranger asking questions.

NO SACRED COWS: HUSTLER'S MOST OUTRAGEOUS 'TOONS
Larry Flynt’s flagship publication has been amazing its readers since the July 1974 issue hit newsstands. To narrow-minded folk, exposing a woman’s genitalia was shocking, but that alone didn’t make HUSTLER a pioneering skin mag. There was another controversial, envelope- pushing ingredient: twisted, no-holdsbarred humor that poked fun at sex, family life, masturbators, religion, wayward politicians and even Abe Lincoln. As a special anniversary treat, we’ve dug up a dozen of the most outrageous cartoons in HUSTLER annals.
