Without a doubt, Las Vegas has the best group of strip clubs in the United States, and depending on what your tastes are, probably in the world as well. The movement toward “gentlemen’s clubs” has swept up most of the bigger places in the city, but there are still a number of old fashioned places where the girls have just as many tattoos as the bikers passing them a dollar for each song do.

Two main choices with one exception

Most of the strip clubs in Las Vegas feature only “topless” entertainment and they can and do serve buckets of alcohol, usually at rather high prices. Several of the older strip clubs have “all-nude” entertainment, and these places are forbidden from serving alcohol, except that doesn’t stop them from also having a drink-minimum and outrageously priced drinks as well ($10 for a Coke, or water, or whatever).

However, the Palomino Club near Downtown has been around long enough that they can still legally do both. They have “all-nude” dancers and serve alcohol as well.

In general, the more beautiful girls tend to work at the topless places with alcohol since they tend to be the classiest places as well, and these girls can make the most money there without having to fully reveal themselves. But there are plenty of surprisingly pretty girls working at the all-nude places too, so if this is your thing you should be quite happy with the dancers.

Getting to these clubs

With only a couple of exceptions, most of the Las Vegas strip clubs are in weird parts of town and not too close to hotels you might be staying in. So the most common way people get to these clubs is in the back of a taxi or limo. Unfortunately, there is a big scam at play here and you should know how it works to decrease the chances you’ll be hustled.

How the scam works

A group of guys will exit their hotel and ask the doorman for a taxi. They find out the group wants to go to a strip club, and suddenly everyone has a suggestion far better than the places you’ve heard of. The doorman can get a cut of the huge commission the taxi driver can get for hauling unsuspecting visitors to a specific strip club. The cover charge at these clubs is usually $20-30, but a taxi driver can actually get more than that for each person they drop off because the cover charge is just the beginning for the club.

So even if you ask to be taken to a specific place, the taxi driver will suggest a “better” one and might even tell you your suggestion is closed down or totally dead. This is a huge deal for the taxi drivers and many of them will lie right to your face to get you to the place that offers them the biggest commission.

How to avoid the scam

If you’ve got a rental car you can drive yourself to the clubs. Many of them charge nothing or substantially less for locals or anyone arriving in their own wheels. This way you can also choose your own place and leave right away if you don’t like it inside.

If you are using a taxi or limo, be clear up front that you know exactly where you want to go and don’t listen to their better suggestions. You can even tell them you know they can get huge commissions for dropping you off at places and they will generally acknowledge this, although they won’t tell you how much they can make. You can then ask the taxi driver if he can get you into the club for free or at a discount. They can sometimes pull this off on a slow night, and they’ll still get money for dropping you off.

The most important thing is to stick to your guns as to where you’ll be taken. You can have a short list of places you prefer and make sure you go to one of those places. There are a few fairly skanky places in Las Vegas still, and some of them will use high-pressure techniques to separate you from a good chunk of money before you are even fully in the door seeing if you like the girls or not. By the time you realize you aren’t happy there, it’s too late.

Prices once inside

Alcohol tends to be expensive inside these clubs, especially the nicer ones. Expect to pay $7 for a beer and closer to $10 for anything else, and even more at some places. Lap dances or table dances are $20 at pretty much all of these places, although if you make the mistake of going into the VIP room or Champagne Room or whatever they call it, the price shoots up quite a bit. Whether the service in that slightly-more-private room is worth the extra money is for you to decide.

Some of the better places

Topless

Olympic Gardens

This was the first of the super and classy gentleman’s clubs in the 90s, and not much has changed. This place is open 24-hours a day and it’s free up until 6 p.m. and $20 after that. It’s in a weird part of the city, but at least it’s near the North Strip hotels and Downtown.

Club Paradise

This place is right across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel, which makes them both very appealing. The girls wear sexy gowns instead of just bikinis so this place feels classier than most. It’s $20 to get in on your own, or $30 if you arrive in a taxi or limo.

Treasures

This new and super fancy club is one of the nicest in Las Vegas. It’s not far off the Strip, but the cover is $30 and even more if you come in a taxi.

Sapphire

This is another new club not far from the Las Vegas Strip. It’s open 24 hours a day and it’s free to enter if you come between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. and don’t come in a taxi. At night it’s $30.

Scores Las Vegas

This famous New York City club now has a Las Vegas branch, although it’s not too close to the Strip. Cover is $30, but it’s free if you arrive on your own and can convince them you are a local.

Girls of Glitter Gulch

This smaller club was recently renovated and the reviews are positive. This is the only strip club right in the middle of the Downtown Fremont Street area. Since no taxi drivers are involved the cover is the cost of two drinks, which average $8 or so.

Nude

Palomino Club

As mentioned, this is the only nude club that serves alcohol. The cover is $30, but they have a free shuttle that will come pick you up if you call them, so at least you can save taxi fare.

Déjà Vu Showgirls

This nude and alcohol-free place is one of many in the city that usually has less-beautiful girls. Cover charge is $25, but that includes unlimited (alcohol-free) drinks for some reason.

Sheri’s Cabaret

Similar to above and a favorite for taxi drivers. It’s only $5 to get in during the day if you come on your own, or $30 if you arrive in a taxi. After 3 p.m. it’s $20/$35 depending on how you get there.

Thanks to some clever promotions and marketing, the nightclub scene in Las Vegas has gone from almost non-existent 20 years ago to one of the hottest in the world today. Every large Strip hotel has at least one “exclusive” nightclub competing for visitors with deep pockets. The trendy places where the Hollywood stars are often paid to appear when they are in Las Vegas charge a lot to get in because somebody’s got to pay for those appearance fees.

Price of entry

Most of the notable nightclubs in Las Vegas charge around $30 to get in, with some only charging around $20 on weeknights. For this price you’ll usually stand in a long line, even if the club itself is nearly empty inside. A long line outside brings prestige to a club even though it’s maddening for that evening’s hopefuls.

Want to skip the line? Many of these clubs have devised a system where instead of tipping the bouncer you just pay a higher entry fee. For around $50 you can get right in, although some places cut this system off around midnight because by then the places can actually be crowded so they can’t just let everyone keep streaming in.

Additional packages

Many of the better Las Vegas nightclubs also offer packages where guests can buy their way into VIP status by paying a high fee. For $500 or so you and three of your friends can get in, get a reserved table, and usually get a bottle of pricey booze as well. Each place has a different deal and usually the more expensive the hotel the nightclub is located in, the more expensive their VIP packages are.

Dress codes

If you are going to any of the trendy places below you will run into one form of dress code or another. Generally speaking, if you look like a slob you’ve got no hope at all. Some places will allow “urban wear” and others only allow more glamorous styles. Check for specifics at the place you choose or wear the best clothes you brought and cross your fingers.

Even though the number of huge Las Vegas shows has increased dramatically over the last decade or so, they haven’t gotten any cheaper or easier to get into. This is something you should begin researching when you first lock in the dates you’ll be visiting. Some of the more notable shows sell out well in advance, even with ticket prices starting well over $100.

If you just want to see a show while you are in Las Vegas, you’ll have no problem finding one to attend while you are in the city, but if you want to see a specific show you’ve got to be on the ball. Broadway-style hits like Spamalot and Mamma Mia! can be sold out way in advance.

Check the shows page on Lasvegas.com for the specific shows that will be playing while you’ll be in town.

Production shows

Most of the largest theaters in Las Vegas feature large Broadway-style shows with huge casts, lavish costumes, and sometimes even stars in the main roles. Several actual Broadway shows are always in town including Phantom, Mamma Mia!, and Spamalot, but again, the lineup changes periodically so it’s important to check the listings for when you’ll be in town. Prices for the top shows can range from $80 to about $200, and many sell out nearly every show so it’s a good idea to buy tickets in advance over the phone or Internet if you have your heart set on one in particular.

Magic shows

There has never been a shortage of magic acts in Las Vegas, but now the town is filled with them. Lance Burton and Penn & Teller are the big names, but many other talented magicians perform regularly in major hotels as well.

Tribute shows

Ever since Beatlemania hit in the 70s, Vegas has been putting on high-quality tribute shows of all kinds. Legends In Concert has been running for a couple decades now, but other tribute shows featuring Neil Diamond, the Rat Pack, and the Beatles are also popular in the medium-sized rooms in Las Vegas.

Adult shows

A growing number of lavish shows for “adults only” are popular in Las Vegas. The traditional drag shows like Follies Bergere are still around, but now they are joined by Chippendales shows and stripper-based shows so there is something for everyone but the kids in this category.

Lounge shows

These aren’t as popular as they once were, but if you walk through a casino or two you are bound to come across a band or singer performing their heart out in front of people who just happened to wander by. These can be campy and cheesy, but the performers are almost all quite talented so this is a good, free, and authentic way to get a bit of Vegas in an old-school way.
