Which, if any, strip clubs are open? Not for nothing, but the strip clubs in Portland, OR are open and giving lap dances.
[Editor's Note: Arnold Snyder has been the content manager of our sister site ToplessVegasOnline.com for nearly seven years. As such, he knows more about the strip clubs in Sin City than probably anyone in the world. Naturally, we asked him to answer this question.]
Six Las Vegas strip clubs are open as bikini bars with COVID restrictions, meaning that occupancy levels are limited by social-distancing requirements. Tables and barstools are farther apart and guests and employees must wear masks. Guests can get around the mask requirement by purchasing a drink. If you’re drinking, no mask is required.
All clubs are operating as bikini bars/lounges. Dancers must wear bikinis and do not get topless or bottomless on stage. No lap dances out in the audience are permitted.
The six clubs that are open as bikini bars are Palomino Club, Déjà Vu Showgirls, Hustler Club, Centerfolds, Chicas Bonitas, and Play It Again Sam. All have been operating seven nights a week. You might find dancers who will do private shows in some of the clubs. On the other hand, some clubs have very few dancers (or none). Drink prices in some clubs are higher than normal.
The best stage show is still at Palomino Club, which is Las Vegas’ premier nude club (and the only nude club in Vegas that serves alcohol). Though the Palomino is disallowed from featuring nude dancing, gorgeous and talented dancers in skimpy bikinis are plenty entertaining. Palomino is open nightly 6 p.m. till 5 a.m., and till 7 a.m. on Friday and Saturday night.
Sapphire, the largest strip club in the country, hasn't reopened as a bikini bar, but has been opening its outdoor pool Fridays to Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. On Mondays, they’ve been hosting Monday Night Football parties in the pool area. This past Monday, due to the cold weather, they moved the MNF party indoors to their showroom. As I’m not expecting the weather to get better, this may indicate that they’ll start moving the pool party indoors on the weekends also (sans pool). I guess we’ll see.
Nevada's governor has given no indication regarding when the Vegas strip club scene might return to normal. All clubs were shut down in mid-March. Just in the last month, bars were permitted to reopen, so a handful of strip clubs have reopened as bars. Strip clubs in many other states have reopened, some with lap dancing, but it’s always up to the governor.
Lawsuits are pending in Nevada to end the shutdowns, but I’ve heard they’re stalled in the courts and going nowhere. It’s not a great time to visit Vegas. This is a party town -- where parties have been banned.
