9/10 for Sapphire
So, Sapphire. I bought the $100 Drink package to get a $100 drink credit and transportation to the venue. The driver was very friendly and when I told him I had never been to Sapphire before he was quite informative about what it's like. We arrived at about 10:10 pm and although the drink package lets you skip to the front of the line, there was no line- between the music festival happening at the time and the F1 construction it was apparently a slow night. They had some really good Halloween decorations up too (visited on the 21st). It was very clean, pretty well-lit, but the main floor was a little cramped even without a crowd and didn't leave much room to walk between tables. Music was good, and loud but not too loud.
Sapphire bills itself as the largest gentlemen's club in Vegas and says it has more dancers than any other. I can believe it; there were tons of girls, which is either a good thing or a bad thing (depending on the person) since they're more aggressive. There were dancers of various ethnicities and none of them were rude or abrasive, but a few were kinda distant and cold. That being said, for every dancer only in it for the money (there's no nice way to say that) there were 3 or 4 that were more than happy just to chat for a bit. Touching is allowed on a case by case basis; some dancers put my hand on them early on and others were hands-off. The other staff members - hostess, security, bar staff - were all helpful and friendly. No complaints about the other patrons; it's a pretty easy-going crowd. The bar staff were good at their jobs too; they have some great tequila shots.
Like most clubs in Vegas, Sapphire is expensive. I'd recommend getting the $100 drink package if you're by yourself since that gives you $100 of drinks, plus transportation and the entry charge. Drinks cost $15 or more, the most common lap dance price I heard was $40, and a single VIP session can cost $1,200 or higher if paying with card. That includes four drinks, the time for the space, tips for the dancers, and charges made by the house. The dancers' tips in VIP were $500 each by default, but they were DEFINITELY WORTH IT. There's a lot of touching allowed in the VIP: the dancers with me said they were comfortable with my hands going pretty much everywhere, and they were grinding on me and putting their tits in my face most of the time, only taking breaks for lap dances. One memorable moment had one of them grinding on my leg while the other stuck my face in her boobs for a motorboat and ran her hands through my hair.
