In what world was him stalking around to discuss her dancing something that seemed likely to happen?

I like how the movie was so full of nudity they didn't particularly care if her boobs were falling out in the non-naked scenes.

Though when they walked outside they were at Circus Circus which would be a valuable portal to me if it existed.

Sorry, but in no world is the stage full when the fat chick comes on. That's bathroom break/look at your phone time.

She insulted her for dancing at Cheetah's.

I assume the direction to Berekley was that no matter what someone says to you, it makes you angry.

"Come back when you've fucked some of the baby fat off" is Shakespearean compared to the other dialogue so far.

This is one of those movies where I almost feel like I can figure out the movie Esterhaus thought he was writing in his coked-out brain, but the disparity between the two is so wide that's what makes it bad (good).

Berkley is supposed to be some kind of wide-eyed nymph here who doesn't stand for someone wanting to rub ice on her nipples, though just a few minutes ago (in screen time) she fucking dry-humped a guy to completion for money.

I wonder where, in the world of traditional screenwriting, what the final act resolution is where the heroine achieves what she wants?

It does, indeed, seem unlikely that would her line, yes.

So the black guy is the one good guy in the movie, and so far he 1) introduced himself by trying to dry-hump her 2) called her a bitch and talks about her tits and ass in public and 3) continues to freely put his hands on her without permission.

I think "MeToo" had a different meaning 25 years ago.

So her arc is to be taken seriously as a dancer though she literally aspires to work in a nude revue.
(Note: Especially in the 90s there were plenty of "legit" dancing jobs in Las Vegas, maybe even more than there are now.)

I want to think that someone was enjoying the movie so far then got repulsed by the interracial sex.

The character arc and goals for Berkley here definitely show the movie was written by a man though (a lazy one at that).

She definitely doesn't dig it out of the hole, but most of this movie's flaws aren't Berkley's fault.
