Cities with the worst strip clubs

layin low but staying high
You're traveling in a town away from home for the weekend. You have free time along with cash to spend and would like to play with some strippers. What cities have such bad strip clubs that you would not go despite the opportunity?
Based upon my experience, I would never go to a club in
Any city in the states of Virginia, Arkansas or Utah.
Anywhere in Georgia besides Atlanta and suburbs
Cincinnati
Knoxville
Chicago (but if I had a car I would drive south for a while to find clubs worthy of my money).
What other places are worthy of our complete rejection?

Sadly, everyone agrees with you, Knoxville is now one of the worst in the USA.
I might add San Diego to your list though. A combination of ultra conservative politics and the 20 minute drive to Tijuana's Zona Norte, I think, cause this.
Memphis and Nashville (not just Knoxville)
Orlando
Maybe at 2 am.
From everything I've read, San Diego is sort of in the middle. However if our one decent club gets shut down it might get rougher.
DC definitely goes on the list also, as does Orlando.
Re Chicago, I can't remember the decent club names except Industrial Strip. I think they are all south of the city (or maybe southwest) maybe 30-40 min depending upon traffic.
NC and SC definitely do not belong in this list. The clubs there aren't great, and SC has greatly declined given LE activity in Greenville, but NC and SC clubs are nowhere near the bottom ylevel of the awful cities and states on the list.
Club O and Skybox in Harvey (and Arnie's for intrepid urban extras-seekers)
Club 390 in Chicago Heights
Atlantis in Ford Heights (or so I'm told -- somehow I haven't been there yet)
These clubs advertise themselves as being "just minutes from the Loop" (Club 390, for example, claims to be "a 25-minute drive from downtown"), but I doubt that this is true even at 2am. Call it 40-45 minutes at best.
I personally have a soft spot for Jimmy's, also in Chicago Heights, but most mongers wouldn't consider it a great club.
Mikey, I agree that San Diego,would be a great place to shop for women to go. But when I travel I rarely have time for OTC. And the question was intended to focus upon the level of services provided itc, and not OTC opportunities.
Dayton is much better, lots of two way contact, and extras often available. Right clubs lots of OTC possibilities. I have heard Toledo is better, but never tried because you might as well drive further to Detroit if you are in Toledo.
Also the smaller towns can be very good too, but can also be very inconsistent.
In addition to Cincinnatti the worst cities I have found so are:
Orlando, FL
Reno, NV
Niagara Falls / Buffalo NY.
New Orleans, LA
The middle belt is ok. Carolinas, Indiana, Kentucky. Dancers try to give value for money.
Lower states are good. LA, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, New Orleans, El Paso. Hot dancers. Easy going customers.
One shining exception I'd like to visit is Detroit's 8-mile road.
Seriously, Virginia, Mississippi, Maryland except for the Block (and that takes some guts), Orlando, Chattanooga, Knoxville, (maybe now all of Tennessee), Arkansas, New Orleans (I find nothing but ripoffs here), Boston (?), Atlantic City, I disagree with people saying NC and SC. there are some worthwhile clubs. Agree Georgia except near Atlanta.I know it is big, but have never had a good experience in Chicagoland.
When I worked at Admiral I was able to give contact dances just fine.
" I thought columbus was bad but cleveland is worse"
Columbus is probably worse, the only thing saving Cleveland is Christie's at the Flats. It actually used to be pretty cool, if you spent a TON of money you could get extras upstairs, and the girls would actually dance nude until Midnight, then they had to put their bottoms on. If I remember correctly now the girls wear pasties (most of them wear clear ones) but I had had dancers always remove them for lapdances, which made no sense to me.
Pittsburgh, PA is not great either but I've seen worse metro areas that have already been mentioned before.
Allow me to add that Chicago has hot women, but high prices, no extras and little chance for OTC unless you head to the way south suburbs. As someone from Milwaukee, that stinks, because Milwaukee has far fewer and further between hot women, no extras and little chance for OTC (our prices are only slightly better). At least we have a few clubs in the boonies, though, where some fun can happen if you do your research right, though.
Zero or limited mileage in the clubs--- Orlando, Central Chicago and San Diego would qualify on this dimension
Seriously overpriced for the mileage-- Las Vegas, San Francisco and New Orleans would qualify on this dimension for me
I am pleased Vegas barely gets a mention, a lot of people say it's overpriced but isn't everything in Vegas? Anyway compared to UK prices/mileage it's a bargain.
For those guys mentioning DC, is this in anyway connected to Washington being the capital?
Northeast Pa hasn't been great in terms of extras. I've been to a few clubs in the area - and there wasn't any extras going.
Just from a few experiences - Orlando Fl is over priced and offers less contact. I expected that - since it's a huge tourist area - even the tolls are over priced!
I don't think so. A lot of hotels, hotel food, even flights (etc) to Vegas aren't that expensive because they want you to have extra gambling money.
I agree with the couple of people who have listed Boston. As for Chicago, it's one of the worst cities, on par with all of the other horrible venues listed. I won't get into an extended fight with Nina over Admirals Theatre but it's one of the worst clubs I've ever been to from a customer perspective. My review explains why. If you know what a good strip club is you will hate it.
Agreed that there is no mileage in DC clubs, but the girls at Camelot were off the charts IMO. So my options are stare at my hotel room walls or go see some T&A at Camelot. $10-15 bucks in tips later and maybe grab a bit to eat. You aren't going to LDK but it isn't that bad IMO. The Admiral in Chicago is a similar situation. Stuck downtown with no easy / time constrained way to get out. Do I go sightseeing or sit around boarded? When I go to SLC for business, and I going to "do nothing" or go experience the PG-est strip clubs ever for the heck of it?

But with that said, VA, AR and DC were all bad to me in every way. VA because the clubs are just so atrocious that I never want to stay long enough to bother; AR because the cultural elements and I suspect the uber cheap cost of living made OTC impossible to find (at least for me as a visitor); and DC because it is so damned expensive to hunt for tail there given the competition and how much those chicks are making ITC from simple table dances and conversations.
I've also heard San Antonio is crap these days
Seems most state capitals suck
