What to Expect on a Vegas Adult-Club Night

Vegas gentleman's clubs work on a particular economic model. The limo-from-Strip-to-club model run by Sapphire, Crazy Horse III, and others provides free transportation in exchange for a cover charge structure at the door; the math usually works out for solo visitors and small groups. Most flagship rooms require ID at the door and enforce dress codes.

Cover charges run $30-$60 at the major clubs; bachelor-party packages and VIP-room booth minimums run into the low thousands. Drinks are priced accordingly. Tipping is expected at every interaction level, from the door to the dance floor.

The advertised "free-to-the-door" promotions from Strip promoters are usually cover-charge-only; drink minimums and bottle service still apply. Plan the budget before the Uber pulls up.
