Heading to Miami for a few days and would like to sample the local flavor. I've read lots of reviews, but looking for confirmation from locals or those with lots of Miami clubbing experience. Based on my itinerary, I'm basically locked into the Dade County area. (Cannot travel up to Pompano, as much as I'd like to.) From the reviews, it sounds like Cheetah Hallandale is the best place in Miami to potentially find a large/full menu without dropping 4 figures. Am I correct on this, or are there other clubs I should be thinking of? (Not looking to make it rain or be given the run around, so Im planning to avoid Tootsies, unless the community thinks I'd be missing out.)
Dade & Palm Beach are significantly more expensive than Broward. Please note that my experience in that part of Miami is a little old as some of these clubs I haven't been to in a year or so.
As noted, Cheetah did recently get in a bit of trouble. I don't know much but I wouldn't be surprised if the effect lingered for some time as that location has a history of trouble with LE on that front.
I'd consider Gold Rush & Deans Gold, both have been pretty consistent over recent years as less touristy and less rob-filled than Tootsies. They're both upper end cost wise, maybe not 4 figures but 700 or so all in wouldn't surprise me at all.
Bellas and Playmates further south are both a few notches down in terms of glamor and overall dancer hotness. But, both clubs often have two or three hotties around that are available closer to 500 ish range prices. The hustle factor is not as high as Tootsies, but its much higher than the Pompano clubs.
I'd stay away from the southern Booby Trap affiliates, including Klub 24. They are more show than substance in my opinion.
There are a bunch I'm not mentioning, either because I think they're outside what you're looking for, like E11ven and Scarletts, or because it's just been too long since I've been there to make any judgements.
Geographically Miami is a big area, and traffic makes getting around difficult if you’re on a time crunch. So it kind of depends on where you’re staying. There are literally no clubs in downtown Miami or Miami Beach. Deans Gold and Tootsies are in very north Miami, and Scarlett’s and Cheetah are in Hallandale, just over the Broward county line. For a one-time visit, I would try Deans Gold, but only after 11 pm. Earlier in the day, you might enjoy Tootsies, but don’t plan on VIP if you don’t want to spend big cash.

May still be the best place but it’s in Broward county
Tootsies is in Dade
There are some AA clubs with mileage in Dade but I’m not familiar with them
Everything I’ve heard and experienced is that Dade is worse than Broward
Just go on the reviews and see
