Just pray that she doesn't see the statement. Or atleast contact you CC company and find out what company name shows up for that charge. Maybe it might not suspicious and you could come up with a good story. Either ways, its a lesson hopefully you learned.
lots of vegas clubs use a different name for their credit card billing to save face for the customers. if i were you, i'd pray very very hard that you went to one of those fine establishments.
your gonna have to kill her! jk!!!! intercept the bill, age it some, and then make a fold or crease along that entry, so it is unreadable-then delay it for a few days, and then bring it out and say no wonder it was late! must have been floating around the us mail twilight zone for awhile!!! Luckily I have only had to do this to hide star wars purchases- good luck!!!

well since you're intent on keeping this from her, i'd seriously monitor the mail until this statement comes in. if she's not big on watching bills and stuff you might be ok, otherwise there's always the online statements (if she does that, you just may be screwed).
The name does come up suspicious. In fact, it's so obvious that one would think it's a some sort of bar/night club just by the name.
Burning the statement....not an option. While she waits for the paper statement, she will on occasion check the transactions online.
Here is what I was thinking...first tell her that I see charges on my card that look like they didn't come from me. I'll tell her that I'm going to report the fraudulent charge to the cc company. What I'm going to do is a balance transfer to my other card to offset the amount. If she asks why it shows up as a payment (which a balance transfer will do) instead of a credit, I will "play dumb" and say "well I guess that's just how they recorded it. Important thing is that the charge is gone".
Man, you are going to just dig yourself even deeper if you try some sort of elaborate plan. I say just try explaining it to her. She might be mad, but nearly as mad as she'll be when she figures out how much trouble you went through trying to hide it from her. And she will figure it out.

I hope you learned your lesson that when doing questionable activities, always pay cash.
Honesty however is usually the best policy, just tell her and take your lumps, then move on. The pain will be less then if you hide it and she finds it, and she will find it, you seem so nervous about it you're gonna set off her BS detector if you haven't already.
Of course, if you've been making a habit of being untruthful with your spouse for some time now, your marriage's days are numbered. Better cancel all those joint credit card accounts now, before the inevitable divorce.
The RIGHT thing to do is fess up. Tell your wife what you did and where you went, and take the consequences like a man.
I hope the lap dance was worth it....

My wife says it is OK, just as long as I bring it home. She feels she is the beneficiary of such activity.
My one of many strip bar stories:
My wife and I aloped and then had the formal ceremony about 9 months later(long story there). My boss and another co-worker took me out for my bachelor party before the formal wedding. My wife asked me to take her '78 Impala (what a lovely car:o ). Needless to say, I got hammered. I needed a ride back from the strip club, so my boss took me in his truck. I barely could climb into the thing. I got home and I was stammering away drunk in front of my wife. Rambling on about the evening. She is trying to calm me down because it is in the middle of the night and her grandmother was staying with us for the night(nice impression ha). The next day, I was completely hung over and had to go to my wife and say we need to go and pick up her car - at the strip club.
I guess it might depend on how much you spent.
Let's see...
If it's from a no-name establishment you could say you grabbed something to eat at Joe's diner who wouldn't take a credit card and you found that out after you ate, so they reluctantly charged your card at the business next door.
If it's a no-name establishment, you should run your a$$ to the mall and pick her up something, tell her you got it for her in Vegas (at said "no-name" establishment) and forgot to give it to her.
If you spent more than the cost of an average lunch in Vegas (I just got back from there) I'd say $25, the above "excuse" may not work.
If it's from "SheMales-2-Go", "Me Love U Long Time", "Vegas Vixens", etc... and you spent a couple hundred bucks you might as well pack your bags and start handing over 75% of your annual income.
You can check the statement online and see what it is listed as before the bill comes.
You might want to come clean and see how she takes it. You never know, she might be pissed that you didn't invite her along.
BTW - be up front. I hate to ask how big the bill was.
Another rule of thumb with my wife is, if I spend a lot of money at a strip bar, I better be ready to spend equivalently on her.
Usually that kinda stuff will just show up as the name entertainment on a credit card statement. It will never say the name of a strip club, so you should be in the clear.
Just tell your wife the truth. If she gets mad because you went to a strip joint, then you need to work that out with her. If you lie to her about it and then she finds out, it's going to be much, much worse.
I don't get this whole "Oooh I can't tell my wife I went to a strip club!". Maybe I'm just lucky or something, because my wife would have no problem with me going to a strip club. We've gone to a strip club together. She knows that it's always "look, but no touch", and when I get home she makes out like a bandit.
Good luck to ya, buddy. Better hope she doesn't read this message board.

I don't get it either- I really don't care if my husband goes to one, as long as he tells me he's going- the problem would be if he lied to me about it. I think you better fess up, or you are in the deepest doo-doo possible when she find out (and she WILL find out- people have nasty habits of doing stuff like that) if you don't tell her. If I found some weird charge on my bill that I didn't put there, you bet I'm going to keep digging until I figure out what it is.
1) NEVER use a credit card at etablishments like that.... yeah most of them are descreet but if your doing something that you really "shouldn't " be doing, the last thing you want to do is leave "foot prints". CCs leave "foot prints" because they can be tracked.
1) Don't try the interception move... it can come back to bite you.
2) Most organizations that sell sex in one way or another are very descreet in billing. You will still have some explaining to do as a charge will show up and your wife may ask what it is. If i were you I'd look at the statement first in private and see if you can make up an excuse based on whats showing oon the bill
I agree with Elara, if she doesn't find out now, or next month, or next year, she WILL find out. Last weekend, my wife found out about something I did 10 years ago in high-school. 10 Bloody years ago!!! And I'm still getting my a$$ kicked for that. I'm sure I'll be forever on her hit-list because of something I did, 10 years ago, before being married, when I was a punk teenager.
Depending on the statement date & credit card company you can have them stop sending you paper statements and send it by email. You will most likely have to set up some kind of e-payment with them but you might be able to catch the next statement. When she asks about the bill say you did this thing but forgot to tell her. That could by you some time provided you have your own email account and she doesn’t check statements online. Or if the club goes under some kind of non descript name “Acme Entertainment” Buy something that looks like it cost the same amount of the charge and tell your wife “ Hey I bought this new gadget, it will show up on the cc bill as Acme Entertainment”

In that case, you have to tell the truth. Just tell her straight up and deal with the consequences like a man. Sure you'll be in the doghouse for a bit, but hey it's better that she hear if from you than someone else.
Went to strip club . . . MUST hide from wife . . . PLEASE HELP!
intercept the bill, age it some, and then make a fold or crease along that entry, so it is unreadable-then delay it for a few days, and then bring it out and say no wonder it was late! must have been floating around the us mail twilight zone for awhile!!!
