“Clip joint” is an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. In the SC context, I define it as a club where things cost a ridiculous amount of money and at least has pretensions towards glitz and glamour, but does not deliver value in the private areas.
A quintessential clip joint is Centerfolds off Washington Avenue in Boston (not to be confused with its seamy namesake in Worcester, which is the polar opposite in all respects, both good and bad). Every Larry Flint’s Hustler Club I’ve been to has been a clip joint, although I did get my first SC BJ and OTC date at a LFHC in Cleveland years ago. Even PT's Showclub in downtown Louisville is a recent experience with an aspiring clip joint.
I last visited Manhattan SCs nearly 20 years ago, and they all seemed like clip joints. Same with the clubs in downtown DC I last hit 40-plus years ago. Sin City, which is on Passyunk Avenue between Purple Orchid and Oasis in Phila, exudes clip joint vibes that are detectable while driving past with the windows closed at 45 mph.
Any other nominees for clip joints?

What you’re describing is clubs with well above prices. Which is certainly unpleasant, but not my understanding of a “clip joint”.
When I hear “clip joint”, this is what I think of:
