Cheetahs is popular among locals, or so I read. It's much more laid back (at least when I've been during the day) than the other clubs (SR, Sapphires). I've done Treasure's on a Thursday night and it was fun; the sales pressure wasn't as bad as SR or Sapphires. I've done Olympic Gardens during the day, and it was okay. Only two dancers working; couldn't get a sense of the place. I'd say as general advice to avoid any place that has a lot of tourist traffic, since there is no incentive there to build repeat business (i.e. you're going to get ripped off).
All that being said, my strip club visits have dropped off a lot since finding TER.What's the catch? They say there's a $30 cover, but it's waived if you take the free limo. Sounds TGTBT. Anyone have experience with that?
not TGTBT,
many strip clubs will pick you up
getting back to your place, well, that's a diff story
Strip clubs seemed to have changed. I went to the Sapphire recently just to watch the girls dance. Had to pay cover charge of 30 something. I could see girls eying me before I even got in. I was well dressed and was met at the door by a tall looker. Soon she asked if I owned my own business. I said yes, because it's hard to say no when you do. She then led me upstairs for a tour. These booths were $500 dollar an hour with one girl. You also had to buy a bottle of wine. I declined, so we went down one floor, where the price was $400 an hour. I said yes, and then came the wine list. You have to buy, and the cheapest was $175 per bottle. I took that and they took my credit card. After the one hour lap dance, I was asked to repeat. I declined. Then the girl almost demanded a $100 tip. So, in one hour I got rid of $800 dollars, and got nothing more that boobies. The irony of the whole thing was, before I went to the club I had seen provider Curvy Coed Carly, spent the same amount, and had much more fun! I was just killing time till my wife got done with the Chippendale show. There must still be strip clubs out there that don't high pressure you. Any one know one?
I blew away some money as well in the beginning til I realized I really don't like being pressured like that. Now I generally only go if I know someone at the club so I don't get treated like just another client... or with a bunch of friends for bachelor party. Still, I like the hobby better.
Answer to the OP asking what the catch is, here's your answer. A free limo ride doesn't cost them much compared to how much you'll end up spending the longer they keep you there.
As I understand it, the girls don't like the hassle of the hustle either and it's compettive for them too. I guess that's why some girls escort. More discreet and the money is prolly better too.
wow she forgot to ask you for another bengie to tip the pimp, i mean bouncer at the entranc
....just make sure you tip the driver well. 
The catch is that it's only a one way ride.
Its very hard to say no to someone in a Vegas strip club. So much eye candy in Sapphire, Rhino, etc. All I can suggest, is sit at the bar at one of the clubs, buy your $12 beer and whenever someone asks if you want a dance, say that you are waiting for someone or that you are just hanging out. That self-discipline works for about an hour or two for me, then my will power is gone, i fall in lust, and out comes the credit card, lol.
Yes, if anyone knows of a chill club, then please post some information. There has to be some Vegas locals who can share a good place. 
It's cheaper to call a TER girl and have her strip in your room and you will end up with a lot more satisfaction as well. Yippit rates Talk of the Town as the best naked strip club, mainly because girls are nice looking and no high pressure from the girls.
