Strip Club Reports

Okay, one thing I've come to realize is that each city I've been in has at least one "low" spot. Basically some ghetto shit, or a strip joint that people look at and say "oh, there's that place too". So I'm wondering if Vegas has a spot like that. Because so far, everything I'm seeing is "upscale", or "high class" (which seems stupid just saying when talking about a strip club). Any of you guys know of any? I'm still new here, so this is vital info. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

E.

Other people here with more recent experience can give you a better sense of what it is like now, assuming it is open again.

Good luck in your search!

E. X.[/QUOTE]Chicas Bonitas is like that, if you enjoy thick latina strippers. A bonus is it's right by the Palomino (best club in town IMO). Club Platinum, Play it Again Sam are other lower end locals places. Talk of The Town is a locals nude place but doesn't serve booze (only the Palmomino is nude and serves booze).

Only problem is that I'm so new here that I don't have a clue where any of those spots are. Going to look them up now.

To be honest, it's the "lower end" spots that I was trying to describe. When I was in Charlotte they had this one spot that was kind of a hole in the wall, but I swear it was the best thing going. Nothing dangerous or anything like that, just no bullshit with all this "high end" crap. The same thing in Jacksonville, FL. The spot I went to was literally INSIDE my apartment complex. In my opinion, the best strip clubs are the ones that are lower end. Being upscale really steals the experience away.

Going to look these up now. Thanks again.

All the other ones seem to be a good distance away, and I don't have a car. I'm going to try that spot soon.

I'm using March Madness weekend as my last point of reference, prior to last weekend.

It's the Memorial Day weekend, and everyone is waiting for June 1 -- that's the day when all Nevada state-issued mitigation restrictions, with the exception of a mask mandate, end. I think, with a lot of false starts, many aspects of the hospitality industry has really taken a "wait and see" attitude to make sure there are no false starts this time.

Back in March, the strip clubs that were open, were only open on the weekends, in the evenings. For example CH3 was open Thur-Sun, after 8 pm. Speaking with the dancers in several clubs, I heard anecdotal stories that many LV dancers had moved to Texas, where the clubs were open without restrictions. And the activity inside the club were "restricted". For example, at Hustlers: From the entrance, I was escorted to my seat. One had to wear one's mask, except when actively drinking. There was no wandering the club floor. Dancers on stage wore a mask. Dancers on the floor wore masks. There was no lap dancing on the floor. Ironically, there were VIPs (which one might think offered the greatest odds of a spreader event).

Last weekend, I visited several clubs:

Chicas Bonitas.

As mentioned, this place is "different" -- even by LV standards. I visited for two lame reasons: It was 3 pm and the other "bigger" clubs wouldn't open until 8 pm. The last time I was there, they had rented a mobile lavatory (the type used at movie shoots) because both the men's and ladies restroom were "closed for remodeling".

I arrived. I was charged a $5 cover. It was happy hour, so a bottle of beer was $5. It appears they have removed the hand written signs calling for a two drink minimum. But the manager was still telling guys to put on their mask unless drinking. There were dancers, but fewer than what I would have expected on a pre-pandemic Friday afternoon. In fact, there were long lapses where there wasn't a dancer on stage.

With reference to the lavatories, I don't think there was any "remodeling". The men's room didn't look that much better than before. More likely, the building had a massive failure of it's connection to the city sewer system.

BTW. The Amazon distribution center is across the street. It will be interesting to see if this section of town improves as a result.

Hustlers.

The club is now open 7 days a week, but open after 7:30. I arrived at 9 pm. There was a line, but I'm a local and have a party pass, so the managers allowed me to bypass the line. I was escorted to my table. I don't think that wandering the floor is allowed, but they're just less restrictive in enforcement. There was a decent staff to customer ratio, but fewer of both in numbers, compared to pre-Covid times. My host was apologetic, as the bar was really having problems keeping up with drink orders. Both the bartender and waitress staff were out of practice.

Sophia's.

Their doors open at 6 pm. I got there at 10 pm, but the crowd didn't really start arriving until 11 pm. Walking up to the doorman, I showed them my NV ID. They didn't charge me a cover, but they did charge me $40 for coupons (two drink minimum). Sophia's has never been my favorite club; but I do like basic look and feel of the floor. I also like that when the dancers know I'm there just to have a drink and chill, they leave me alone.

I chatted with one of the dancers. She mentioned that in the week prior, the club had a "casting call" for managers and dancers. That made sense to me, as the club seemed to be understaffed in both categories.

CH3.

This club opened after 9 pm on the day of my visit. Speaking with the managers, they should be back open 24 hrs now. This was the most busy of all of the clubs I visited, and best organized. I went in at 2 am and the club was packed. As I approached the entrance, the club transport was unloading two mini buses of customers. As a known regular, the doormen directed me to bypass the line, after the cursory pat down and ID check. Inside, all sections of the floor were open and filled. (If you're unfamiliar, the club floor is compartmentalized. They can curtain off sections, when the capacity is lower; open up these sections when busier.) Generally speaking, the dancers on the night of my visit were better looking than at the other clubs visited -- but they were still understaffed, compared to pre-Covid times.

I think that CH3 is the only club open 24 hrs currently. A lot of the other clubs that were 24 hr, pre-Covid -- even if there was enough business to justify 24 hr operations, I don't think they have enough dancers on their active roster. The numbers of dancers I saw last weekend seemed light. But as the convention business comes back into town, I think things will get back to normal.

The bathroom was disgusting, I would always run across the street to Jerry's and take a piss before going into Chica's.

Best club to visit during early weekdays? Chias? What about little.

Darlings?

Went to rhino and little darlings Sunday night (last weekend). Rhino literally had 15 people on the entire floor. This was a little after 9 pm. This includes bouncers, bartenders, and other hobbyists. You arent really allowed to walk around. Bouncer walks you in and they put you in a chair. I had one drink and bailed. Total loss of 55 $. Cover charge, drink and tip. There are no floor dances. Girls had masks on. One girl approached me, but wanted to go straight to VIP and bring her friend along for 3 some. Somehow she thought telling me she didn't believe in vaccines would somehow make her more desirable. I politely declined and left.

Next stop was LD's. This place was even worse. Got their around 10 pm. More clients than Rhino but not a single girl in sight. Waited 10 minutes, got their mandatory one drink minimum (bottle of water). Walked around a little, and left. On my way out the lady at the front desk asked where I was going since I had just walked in. Told her there were no girls on the floor and I wasnt going to waste my time staring at the ceiling. She said wait 20 minutes they are getting ready. WTF. I just walked out, and went back to the casino.

Went to scores last night. Free mandatory Valet parking. A lot of girls and customers. The place was packed and a lot of beautiful ladies. Some what aggressive ladies but they will leave you along if you ask nicely. It was $300 for 15 minutes dance and $1000 for an hour. Dances happen in a room behind a curtain. Got a dance and it is only topless. There was a camera in the room so they are watching to make sure nothing happens. The ladies are hot but it is expensive.
