V.I.P. LAPS - Is there a differnce?
“Come in the back with me and I’ll show you something special” … a common phrase heard in the darkness of some of the clubs. The question is, are these VIP rooms worth your money? Before we answer that question, let’s look at the reasons why people go into VIP rooms. One, there’s more privacy. Two, the customer thinks he can get a nastier dance. Between the two, which one would you put your money on in a bet? I’d throw lock, stock and barrel into the latter. Granted, privacy is a side issue, but what most customers who are willing to spend the type of money for VIP laps are looking for nastiness. Plain and simple. Anyone who claims otherwise is fooling themselves. So now that we’ve agreed on why people like going into VIP rooms, let’s look at the various ones available here in the Las Vegas scene.
For the topless clubs, Olympic Garden, Crazy Horse Too, Club Paradise, and Cheetahs all have VIP rooms. However, they vary greatly. Olympic Garden charges $100 for an open bar tab to enter and then it’s $100 for 3 songs with the lady of your choice. Do the gals get nastier? They sure do. But if I were you, I’d try them out on the main floor first. That’s actually good advice for any of the clubs. Next, you have the Emperor’s Room at Crazy Horse Too. The only cost here is $100 for 3 laps. Look at what you can get in the main room. It only escalates in the VIP. At Club Paradise, there’s the Cristal Room. Buy a bottle of champagne ranging from $80 to $495 to get in, then the dances are the same price as the main floor. Unfortunately, the dances aren’t much different. At Cheetahs, the dances in the VIP room are no different in price than the dances on the couches out on the main floor, and unfortunately, in general, there’s not much difference in nastiness either.
At the nude clubs, Tally-Ho, Lil’ Darlings, and Club Exotica have VIP sections. Tally-Ho charges $170 for a half hour, and in the past, they were the best dances in town. However, with recent Metro sweeps, the $20 laps in the main room are almost as good. Lil’ Darlings has a VIP room in the back, but the dances are probably tamer than the dances up in the front booths or the theme rooms. Cameras are all over the place, so VIP just means more privacy to other customers, not the management. At Club Exotica, the VIP room is in full view of the other customers. Again, I don’t see the point.
In most other cities, it’s the clubs without alcohol which normally get nasty. Fortunately for visitors and even the local folk, it’s the other way around here in Las Vegas. If nasty is what you’re looking for, and you have the money to spend, the VIP rooms may be the way to go. Otherwise, stick to what’s available on the main floor. You’ll probably enjoy yourself just as much anyway.
