Every 4 years, it's the same. A series of stories before the convention about how Republicans are horn dogs and escorts and strippers are going to make out like bandits. Problem is, I never read a story after the convention confirming it. I have my doubts about the reality of this myth.
Here in Phoenix, you notice the strip clubs are busier during SuperBowls, Phoenix Open, Nascar, etc. But, the prices stay the same and you can still get into clubs. No strippers are retiring on one week's work.
In this day and age of cell phone cameras and TMZ, anyone well known from the RNC will be smart enough not to go out to a strip club. They may have someone brought to them, but the days of going to the club on a trip like this is over.
If someone is dumb enough to do this, they'll get what they deserve.

Since around 2000 I've been hearing stories about how the stripper/escort business at the party conventions is disappointing.

Exactly. And never mind smartphones, I would not put it past local TV stations and newspapers AND oppo agents of the other party from South Flyover to have somebody tailing their delegates, or the lobbyists from whoever's the big industry in town, to see if they catch them at something. Let's remember we're almost 30 years after Gary Hart's "Monkey Business".
Additionally, in the particular case of the GOP convention I think the general partying mood is badly harshed by... well... by how they got here and what they got out of it. They probably just want to drink 'til blessed unconsciousness delivers them. I know at least one whole delegation that's decided to bugger off the final night. But in both parties in recent times I also detect a rise of ideological "true believers" (Tea Partiers, Bernie Bros) who would not be likely to head for the strip joint like an old school pro would.

I imagine the escort business is doing a lot better than the clubs.

A friend had mentioned to me before that the Republican Convention would never come to San Jose, "Because there are not enough strip clubs."
