The Business of Photography

Can nightclubs and bars in the US not have those signs outside saying "Management reserves the right to refuse entry"?

Because they do here in the UK. My assumption is that unless you refusing to serve that person puts them in any danger (like a taxi driver refusing a young-female fare in the middle of nowhere) that a business can refuse to serve anyone.

With popular nightclubs, there are no laws preventing the denial of entry and discrimination against you if you are fat and ugly. The law applies if they deny access on the basis of race, disability and in some states sexual orientation.

Again, if you're fat and ugly they don't have to let you in. Of course they will blame it on there dress code, because if you are fat and ugly you are obviously wearing fat and ugly people's clothes which are not allowed.
