That club out by the airport...
Strip clubs near airports are commonplace in many U.S. cities, but there are comparatively few "upscale" establishments that fit that mold. Bare Elegance in Hawthorne (often referenced as BE LAX) provides top-shelf eye candy in a quality atmosphere that belies its site just outside the flightpath of Los Angeles International.
Tucked into a corner next to the 405/105 interchange, the club is convenient to the airport (and not that far from the nearest metro, if you have the misfortune of being in LA without wheels). Parking lot is small so there's a $5 charge (reasonable). You can self-park if the lot isn't approaching capacity, but at busy times valet is mandatory. Entering from the side of the building adjacent to the driveway, you come into the usual vestibule setup with a ticket window for the hostess taking your cover charge ($10). Step through the awkward drapery/turnstile combo, let your eyes adjust to the dark, and prepare yourself for a visual smorgasbord of nubile, mostly nude ladies.
This is one of BE-LAX's big differentiators: where most clubs require dancers to dress at least minimally when not on stage, this club encourages dancers to walk the floor topless or even fully nude (apparently the gals get an extra $30 to participate). The benefits to a PL are obvious, as you don't even have to wait for a stage show to tell if the pretty face across the room is using a push-up bra to boost her sales.
