This one's easy. Forget KC, nothing but air dances (although I have heard that some extras may still be available at Temptations daytime). Make the 45 minute drive west to Lawrence KS. Paradise Saloon and/or The Outhouse. Both are well reviewed here.
I know that some people talk up the Bonita Flats in Olathe, KS as being good, but I've never been there to know. I was always under the impression you needed some sort of membership to get into the Paradise Saloon, which is why I've never been there. The Out House is fun, but it can get crowded with drunk college students (don't forget that Lawrence is the home of the University of Kansas, and for all I know, they got a football game this weekend, and for being a basketball school, football draws well there). They make it seem like it's the middle of nowhere, and it is, but all you have to remember to get to the Out House is go east on 15th Street from Massachusetts Avenue and keep going even when the road turns to gravel and shortly after that, it's the Out House. I've always enjoyed the Flamingo Club in Lawrence, but sometimes, it's more of a challenge than necessary to talk the dancers away from their regulars there.
Lawrence is better than KC now. In Lawrence, the Paradise is the pick of the litter, and is better early evening or late evenings on the weekend. It is a membership club, so you may get turned away on the first visit, or you need to find a "friend" that will bring you in. I have never been impressed with the Outhouse--there are too many dumbasses who carry in their 12-pack and lay down on the 6-inch stage to have the girl squat on their face, and do it over and over.
Outside Olathe, Bonita Flats is also a membership club now and you will get decent lappers in the open and it can get crowded. The weekend nights in KCMO are pretty lame. Bazooka's has YMMV in the VIP and is lame on the floor. Temptations can be seedy and lame and ROB-like and somewhat naughty at certain times, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
If you just want to drink beer and see some titties, then Paradise(Lawrence) is probably best. Might even get a decent lapper there.
Bonita Flats (Olathe) and End Zone (Spring Hill) are in the beertit category as well, but not so great in the lap department. (Note that BF and EZ are actually right across the highway from each other south of Olathe).
Flamingo (Lawrence) features a poor stage show and the "regulars club" aspect of it can be pretty annoying at times. Getting a dance like trying to flag down a taxicab. Beer is usually cold.
Whispers (Basehor) Piss your beer and money down the drain.
Outhouse is a riot on weekend nights. Lots of half-naked women running around. BYOB, college dudes from KU get waaay too drunk, and as LL pointed out, they spend waaaay too much time laying on the low stage with creased dollar bills on their nose. Unless you are there to get drunk and yell, Outhouse gets kinda old after an hour. Can get laps, but don't bother.
Temptations (no alc) provides full-on grinding $20 lap dances in a semi-private area. It is not usually a very fun crowd, and you will leave there feeling worse about yourself as a person. Day and night are...well...like day and night....YMMV.
Bazookas (no alc) has a dirty movie theater upstairs if things get too lame for you in the strip club.
Note that both TNT and BAZ are located four or five blocks apart in downtown KC. Walking between clubs is a lot safer now than it was five years ago, but still not the best neighborhood for an evening stroll. There are bars located next door to both clubs, and I think both clubs have come-and-go admission.

Hope you have fun while you are here in KC.
