Viva Las Vegas!!!
DJ_Geo
Vegas is the strip-club capitol of the world. Have you been to the clubs here? What's your favorite? Least favorite? Why?
Personally, I like Treasures the most. Sapphire and Rhino are bad-ass too. I think the reason I like Treasures the most is that unlike Rhino and Sapphire it was built from the ground-up as a high-class gentlemen's club, and from an aesthetics point of view, it's the most beautiful club in the world. Rumored to cost $28 million to build it. The dancers are on par with Rhino and Sapphire, but what Treasures has that those guys don't is food. More specifically, a world-class steakhouse. It's a little smaller than Sapphire and Rhino, which I believe makes for a more intimate experience. I think all three of those clubs are AWESOME, but Treasure is a must see.
Because I'm a dj in search of a gig, I can't tell you my least favorite, but I wish I could. Wait, I can. I wouldn't work there even if they paid me. Bada-Bing is an out of the way shithole with no dancers, a slouchy smoking door-lady and terribly terrible service. If you could catch crabs walking through a parking lot... There ya go.
That's my Vegas story. What's yours? RocK oN, Geo

Samsung, what'r the hot clubs in Detroit and why would you choose them over Vegas?
I have not visited as many Vegas clubs as many around here, but between my own experiences and what I have been reading it seems as if Vegas is way over-hyped.
Not one single tuscl review of any Las Vegas SC has spurred any urge in me to visit Las Vegas for that kind of action.
Still it is possible pull them OTC there, as my experience proved. The cost was very reasonable too.
When I can walk into a club here locally and walk out with a phone number whose owner, while maybe only falling into the "attractive", versus "drop dead gorgeous", category, will meet me later, and for less than $200, including the cost of the room, will give me basically anything I want, Vegas holds little attraction.
If I'm looking for more variety than my local clubs can provide, I can make a weeken trip to East St. Louis. Or any of at least a half dozen others that are within one day's travel of here, in almost any direction incare to go. And for a fair bit less money, even if I might have to "sacrifice" some in the looks department, which I'll do in a heartbeat for the price difference.
The "Sin City" moniker appears to be mostly hype, and much less substance, in this day and age.
Paradise across from the Hard Rock also had some amazingly beautiful women, but the place as complete about hustle for everything from the second you entered the door.
Other than that, I don't think Las Vegas was any different from anywhere else in terms of dancers looks. But heck, even a local club tried the hiring all the best looking girls to one place strategy for a time, so Vegas is not that much different from any other city looks wise.
Florida, Mons in particular, I understand is the place you go if you want top of the line eye candy.
Until my recent relocation to the Land of Zero Strip Clubs (Muscat, Oman) I lived in Phoenix and traveled to Vegas 2 or 3 times a year. Always went to strip clubs there. Not one strip club visit in Vegas would make my top ten list. I go there for the shows, good food, and the illusion that I will be lucky in the casinos. The strip clubs are a diversion: sometimes pleasant, and sometimes such a bad value that I vow never to return. Of course, we know how those vows work out.
Places I would rather go to for their strip clubs:
- Detroit
- Tampa
- Dallas
- Houston
- Phoenix
- San Diego (ahem...well Tijuana really)
- East St Louis
- A notable strip of the northeast corridor extending from Irvington NJ to Tolland CT
I made a recent trip to Vegas and hit Treasures again and have to agree on the description in the first post here (my review from last December still stands), of the "establishment" woul-be-upper-class clubs it gets my vote, I like it there. But that's because I'm not looking for more than what there is. That said there is expensive upsell everywhere in Vegas; and you can still run into not-just-dancers even in the "classy" joints -- on my last night at T's one of the ladies signaled availability for more OTC... but when I heard the term$ of the deal, Holy Whoa Mama! I guess after all, the town's business IS separating you from your cash...
Detroit, Tampa, Dallas, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Toronto, Montreal
... in no particular order. And it all depends on what you want.
Vegas gives you glitz, some degree of glamour, and a very high price tag. San Francisco is as close to Amsterdam's attitude, as you can get, in North America. Toronto is higher-end than most cities, but with full-service options a-plenty and basically not frowned upon as long as you aren't unreasonable with it -- and because it's more approved, it's of less risk, and therefore of lower price, generally; but the damn Canadian dollar keeps getting stronger relative to the US dollar, and that has all but ruined the allure.
I hear you can get whatever you want, from fabulously hot girls, in Detroit. I hear that's also the case for East Saint Louis, too, except for the "fabulously hot" part. Tampa is fun but there's a lot of driving and a lot of heat and humidity.
Dallas I've never been to -- is it really just Houston North? Or is there a different flavor? I loved the glory-days of Treasures and Michaels and what's-er-call-it Centerfolds (is that the right name?) in Houston, getting the little chair-fort service, having forty-odd fillies of questionably young-looking appearance just sidle up and down and you can keep your hands full for hours just by standing by the bar while they all beg you to spend more time with them. Love love LOVE that shit. :) Used to get it in Memphis at the late lamented Pink Pony; and got it in spades throughout the 1990s in Toronto, especially at ol' Fantasia in Richmond Hill. Still have SOME access to that kind of action in some cities, but not generally.
What is it, really? Are we in the most "no you aren't allowed to have sex, because we're going to make it preclusively difficult for you to find a venue" period of human history ever? Or does it just seem that way? :P
Vegas is all about the high hustle, high turnover tourist market, and mileage is nowhere near what I can get at home. I get great high contact here in LA, so there really is no point to drive 4 hrs for less contact and more headaches.
If I had to choose any one place in the world other than Vegas' a-list clubs (Rhino, Treasures, Sapphire), I think I'd like to try Adelita in TJ. Millions of hot latina dancers/hookers ready to give full-service pleasure on the ultra-cheap. What could be better? Colombia?
