Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported on the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2010 (the "February 17, 2010 8-K"), VCG Holding Corp. (the "Company"), Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. ("Rick's"), Troy Lowrie, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Lowrie Management, LLLP have entered into a letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent"). Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, Rick's has agreed to, among other things, acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and the Company will merge with and into Rick's or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rick's (the "Merger"). The Letter of Intent includes a binding exclusivity period through March 12, 2010, during which time the parties will negotiate exclusively with each other, subject to certain exceptions, to enter into definitive Merger documents. Further, if the parties do not enter into definitive Merger documents by March 12, 2010, the Letter of Intent automatically terminates, unless extended by the parties. On March 10, 2010, the parties agreed to amend the Letter of Intent to extend the expiration date of the exclusivity period and the term of the Letter of Intent to March 31, 2010.

The foregoing description of the Letter of Intent is qualified in its entirety by the Letter of Intent filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the February 17, 2010 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

On March 11, 2010, the Company issued a press release regarding the extension of the exclusivity period in the Letter of Intent. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
