Nevada — Visitor Take
Nevada — specifically Las Vegas — is the best state in the country for a strip club night. You can drink and watch fully nude performers in the same venue, something almost no other state allows. The Vegas Strip has massive, Vegas-scale gentleman's clubs with hundreds of performers, full bars, and VIP rooms. Off-Strip clubs offer a more affordable experience. Reno has a smaller but similar scene. You must be 21 to get in anywhere. Expect to spend — top clubs charge $50+ cover, drinks are expensive, and VIP experiences can run into the thousands. Worth it if you want the full experience.
Oregon — Visitor Take
Oregon — especially Portland — is one of the most permissive states in the country. Portland clubs can legally serve alcohol with full nudity on stage, which is rare in America. The city has more strip clubs per capita than almost anywhere else, ranging from dive bars with stages to nicer cocktail lounges with entertainment. The vibe is casual and unpretentious. You must be 21 to enter anywhere alcohol is served. Portland's clubs are genuinely worth visiting if you're in the Pacific Northwest — it's a unique experience.
