My first visit post-COVID, had been there about 5=6 times previously. Rolled in around 10 PM, after Day 1 of the NFL Draft. Good sized crowd in the place, lots of girls on the floor. Figured this would be a fun evening. But what I wasn't prepared for-- it is mostly a bikini bar now. For the same $50 cover. The girls didn't strip on stage, and many of them even kept their tops on for lap dances. WTF???? When did this happen? Sapphire used to be the club with the most girls, the hottest girls AND very high contact. I asked one of the dancers and she said "well, we're all independent contractors so we can set our own rules." Well yeah, that's the way the business works. But usually the girls at a strip club do, well, strip.
Fortunately I found one willowy Filipina dancer who was quite happy to follow the old rules, but even that was $100 for 3 dances on the floor.
This was my first time in Vegas in 3 years-- has this happened in all the clubs?
