Locations of strip clubs in the United States.

Although strip clubs can be found across the United States. There is no real pattern to where they are commonly located. As each individual states has different laws related to adult entertainment. Within each state, strip clubs in the united states are often further regulated at the municipal level. Impacted by issues such as zoning, alcohol consumption and amount of clothing (nude, topless, bikini) each dancer is required to wear.

Despite this, you’ll generally find that major cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Philadelphia. Offer more high-end clubs such as Rick’s Cabaret, Spearmint Rhino, Scores and Penthouse Club chain locations.

These clubs tend to offer many amazing amenities such as adult film star feature dancers. VIP rooms, complimentary transportation and even themed events such as golf outings and UFC fight broadcasts. These amenities don’t come without a cost. As prices tend to be higher at these clubs and bottle service, for instance, often runs into thousands of dollars.

One notable exception to this “major city” rule is Portland, Oregon. Whose history of liberal laws and over fifty clubs has dubbed it “America’s Strip Club Capital,”.

Ranking second in total club count but ranking first in per-capita strip clubs as Houston. With only ten more clubs than Portland, has over four times the population. The United States is also home to the largest strip clubs in the world.

The largest, Sapphire in Las Vegas, is a massive 71,000 square foot facility that features its own day club.

Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami is arguably the second largest at over 74,000 square feet. (A portion of the club is a non-strip club sports bar and grill). While these behemoths are few and far between. You’ll find the strip clubs in the United States to be larger than in other countries around the world. Capable of hosting between 100 and 1,000 customers at once.

To the massive clubs that can hold several thousand at a time. In terms of nudity, most clubs offer four levels of nudity: bikini, pastie, topless and fully nude.

Each state and municipalities laws are different, but in many areas. Less clothing means less alcohol being served.

Furthermore, food offerings vary greatly… while some clubs offer no food or a simple menu of burgers and fried offerings. Some of the higher end clubs such as the Penthouse Club feature their own high-end restaurants. As for pricing, the industry is surprisingly stable when it comes to two expenses.: couch dances are usually $20 per song and nighttime cover charges are usually around $10 per person.

These costs are deceptive, as you’ll not only find that many clubs offer lower and higher fees and other costs. Such as liquor and private “champagne” rooms. Can vary greatly and run into the thousands of dollars.
