Kate Beckinsale

For the higher tier clubs (Rhino, Sapphire, Treasures, etc) your best bet for free entry is to visit during the day (before 7 PM or so), and drive there using a rental car. If you arrive by taxi there will be a cover, and then in the evening there is a cover regardless of how you arrive. I have found the dayshift at Rhino is still pretty high quality (in terms of dancer attractiveness), but evenings are still better. However, if you plan on drinking, then I'd suggest you use the free limo and stomach the driver tip (in lieu of cover). As many have said, Vegas is not a value for money destination, nonetheless, its worth experiencing at least once in my opinion.

I'll add one comment about Penthouse club (in North Beach) - the actual layout, decor, and general feel of this club is really top notch and stands above most strip clubs you'll visit. I'd suggest its worth checking out for that reason (the girls are pretty high quality also), though I would agree that it is expensive and low-mileage.

@Papi_Chulo - I completely agree... I mean the whole point of an SC vs. a bar, etc, is it should just take the right amount of money, and that's it. And yet, and yet... I guess I just stumbled into that chasm that exists between theory and practice.

I have had free entry to SR by driving myself there - bouncer said before 8:45 PM if you arrive in your own vehicle there is no cover.
