Sapphire Gentleman's Club

Description:

• Ladies and gentlemen (particularly the latter), Las Vegas, home of the largest everything else, now brings you -- drum roll -- the largest strip club in the world! That's right, 71,000 square feet of nakedity. Of course, you have to see it -- and, of course, that's what they are counting on. But let's say this: While really it's nothing you haven't seen before strip-club-wise, if you haven't seen a strip club, this is the place to start because it's modern and clean, and, frankly, it's not all that different, looks-wise, from Rain, the super-hot nightclub over at the Rio, except that here you can actually hear yourself think, and the girls sometimes wear more clothes than at Rain. It's also more friendly and less attitudinal.

  Expect three stages in a bridge shape (including one where gawkers who paid for the privilege can watch the action from below, thanks to a glass floor), and a fourth in a separate -- and still large -- room, with several poles and strippers all working it at the same time. Giant video screens occasionally act as a JumboTron for the action on the other side of the cavernous room. Upstairs are incredibly posh and incredibly expensive rooms for wealthy sports and movie figures to utilize. Oh, and ladies are not only allowed to visit, but they'll also have their very own male strippers to leer at. Lap dances start at $20. Open daily 24 hours.
