Personally, I think Chicago is terrible...

Personally, I think Chicago is terrible for strip clubs. NYC, Vegas, LA and SF are all way better. Forget about clubs in the city limits. That said, Atlantis is the best club I have been to in the Chicago area. Some of the girls are very attractive and they are very friendly. The staff is great, I never got attitude from the bouncers, hosts, waitresses or dancers. Service was great and the drinks were pretty cheap compared to other big city clubs.

The dances in the lap dance area are okay, I use that to see if I have chemistry with a girl before I take them to the private rooms (which aren't totally private). The rooms don't have doors, but the bouncer doesn't walk by like the lap dance area and no one bothers you and the girl you pick. The dances in the private areas can be pretty awesome if you find the right girl (as always, ymmv). Just make sure you have chemistry things can be great. 30 mins was something like $250 and 1 hour was $400 or so (also pretty cheap for a big city).
