the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

Combining all the reviews here paints a fairly accurate picture of this place. It is most certainly not any type of strip club. But if ever the statement "it is what it is" applied, it would be to Showgirl Video. We're talking a relic from the past, but that doesn't make it all bad. For those who remember the glory days of the peep show, a visit here will be a touch of "deja vu." Stopped by on a recent afternoon, and the only real complaint is that there only seemed to be one dancer working (luckily, she was fairly cute with a good sense of humor, likely a necessary element to work in such an establishment). Plenty of great clubs in Vegas, but this should not be compared - it is simply a slice of the past. Why not?

7 out of 10 for peep show -- this is on the "Peep Show Scale" not the usual strip club scale. It is a video store and peep show. One of the last of a dying breed of the New York Times Square style peep show. There are only a handful of these across the country. 4-5 in California, 1 remaining in NYC, 1 in Seattle, 3 in the mid Atlantic and 2 in the midwest. So considering the options, if you're looking for a peep show then this is not so bad. $1 to get in to the peepshow are then $1 per 3 min for the main area (e.g., the non-private show). The girls her will put their goods right up to the glass, unlike other places where this only happens in private shows, but they did expect to be tipped. For the private shows you go into a booth, pick up the phone and ask for the girl you want, negotiate the private show price, pay in advance on that, *then* put your $5 in for 10 minutes one-on-one time. The prices are $25 for "standard spread"; $35 for "simulation" (which means she beats it with lube); $45 for "dildo show"; $55 for two girls; and $100 for "Everything" (just means all of the afore mentioned). The is NO touching -- everything is behind glass. Also, the glass goes from clear to opaque, it doesn't move up or down, when you put in your money. Over the all the place is relatively clean but dingy and old. Probably not making a huge amount of money, but own and operated by Vietnam Vets. For $10 - $50 its worth the time and money if you're into peep shows.

I've driven by this place a few times, but haven't stopped before. I decided to stop on a Friday night to see what kind of place it is. This is not the usual strip club. It is more of a peep show. There are individual booths where you can watch porn on multiple channels, and individual booths with a window looking onto a stage where one girl at a time "dances" around in the nude. There are slots in the booths for tipping the girl. Tips will get you a short time with the girl "dancing" close to your window. Judging from the look and smell of the place, plenty of guys relieve their tension in the booth while watching the naked girl.

There are also three booths with larger windows and a chair for private shows. The girl is still on the other side of a window, but for various tip amounts she will put on a show by herself or with another girl.

The place is also a porn shop. The whole place is dirty and smelly. Both the girls and the clientele are low quality. When I was there, three girls were rotating turns on the stage. The best one was about a 6 and the other two should definitely have kept their clothes on. The only reason to go here is if you are desparate and too broke to go to one of the many good clubs in Vegas.


The house girls range from 4's to 7's with several house feature dancers on weekends. The stageshows vary from girl to girl and viewing them from a booth really makes this a different experience. Tipping is discretionary and as long as you keep putting dollar bills into the box, your screen stays open. However, how much time the dancer stays in front of your little window depends on your tip. If you're claustrophobic, this may not be the place for you. This club is also the place where many of those "live internet girls" websites get their feed. You can spot the cameras right above the stage.
