When people talk about the “best” strip club in Vegas, that can mean a lot of different things to different people.
Some people want a fancy, high-end atmosphere above all else. While for others, they only care about private dances and the chance to get some extras.
But with that being said, when tourists ask locals for a strip club recommendation, they’ll usually hear “Palomino” suggested more than any other club.
If you’re a tourist and you’ve heard similar advice, you might be wondering why Palomino gets so many suggestions.
To help you understand the club and why it gets recommended so much, here are the top 3 reasons locals seem to suggest Palomino as a first choice.
Reason #1: It’s What You Expect
This may come off strange, but Palomino is what most people expect a strip club to be, especially if they’re new to strip clubs in general. Many people come to Vegas and go to a strip club for the first time. They already have some idea in their head about what a strip club looks like on the inside. Usually, it’s from TV, movies, or video games like Grand Theft Auto.
Palomino most closely resembles that. Palomino has stages, and the girls actually dance on the stage. There’s also a good mix of stage action and strippers milling about the main floor.
In general, it’s what you expect.
This is a big deal, because these days, many strip clubs aren’t like you might expect. They are run more like modern nightclubs, where table and bottle service are the priority. When you walk in, you may see an empty stage or a single stripper lazily moving on the stage.
The rest of the strippers are just walking around the main floor, pushing VIP rooms or other expensive options.
Some customers really like this type of atmosphere, but most people who have never been to a strip club may find it strange and not very fun at all.
Overall, this doesn’t mean Palomino Club is the best, but it’s the most like what people expect in a strip club.
Reason #2: Reasonable Prices
Vegas is a tourist town, so you can always expect to pay that tourist premium for just about everything.
Strip clubs are no different, and prices here are likely higher than those at your local hometown strip clubs.
However, Palomino doesn’t go overboard with the price gouging. The cover charge, private dance prices, and drinks are within reason. I have another article here that goes into the average prices for private dances and what you can expect to pay at a Vegas strip club.
But for the most part, Palomino Club is a decent value considering you’re still in Las Vegas.
Reason #3: Fully Nude
This is another thing that may catch a lot of tourists by surprise, considering Las Vegas is known as “Sin City”. You would think every strip club is fully nude.
But they’re not.
Palomino is the only fully nude club in town that also serves liquor. I have an article that goes over the specifics of which Vegas clubs are fully nude here.
Obviously, if you’re looking for extras, the dancers being nude makes things a little easier. I won’t go into specifics in this article, but Palomino has decent contact rules, and you can definitely have some fun that’s above and beyond if you know what you’re doing.
If you want more information on that, I have an article here on strip club extras and how to get them.
The TL/DR version of why Palomino is fully nude is that they got grandfathered in due to being around for so long. So, they’re the only club in town with a license to both serve liquor and offer fully nude dancers. This also makes them the oldest running strip club in town.
A few other clubs are fully nude in Vegas, but they don’t serve any booze.
Another Strip Club Option in Vegas That’s Similar to Palomino
If you’ve already been to Palomino or just want another similar choice, Sapphire is probably the closest thing to Palomino.
Sapphire can be pricier, and they do tend to push bottles and tables more than Palomino, but it’s still within the realm of what tourists think is a normal strip club.
One bonus with Sapphire is that they have a lot of themed events, usually based around what’s going on in Vegas at the time. For example, March Madness-themed events, F1 Racing events, and so on.
So if you’re in town for a specific big event and want to keep that vibe going into your nighttime activities, Sapphire can be a good choice.
Overall, I’m not saying these two are the best clubs in Vegas, but they’re the closest to what most visitors to Vegas expect in a strip club.
