Yes & No…There is always a catch.
Everywhere you go in Vegas you here and see “Free Limo” and “No Cover” or similar pitches for Las Vegas Strip Clubs. Is this legit? Do they really do that? What’s the catch? Here’s why Vegas strip clubs give free rides and entry.
For the strip club, it’s all about getting people in the door. Those plushly furnished 70,000 square foot Strip Clubs cost a lot money to build and run. The club knows their gross revenue is about $120/per person, so they want as many people in the door as possible. Since, the clubs are not on Las Vegas Boulevard, they offer free rides and free entry to get people to the club. They also pay commissions/spiffs to taxis, limo drivers, Uber & Lyft drivers and almost anyone else who sends them business which is why there are so many promoters. (Read our informative article on How Vegas Strip Clubs Work here.)
So yes, Vegas Strip Clubs do give free rides and free entry. Of course, there are conditions attached. Here are the details about how to get to a Las Vegas strip club along with the conditions and requirements involved for each.
AWFUL WAYS TO GET TO A VEGAS STRIP CLUB
Do not take a Taxi to a Vegas strip club. It will cost you more because the clubs pay $50-$75 to the driver to bring you there. Same applies to Lyft or Uber. (Full article on this scam and why you shouldn’t fall for it here.) Don’t trust a random Limo driver who approaches you on the strip or in front of your hotel for the same reasons. These guys often roll up while you are waiting on a ride you have reserved from someone like us or directly from the club and try to get you into their car instead. Once in the car, you may or may not end up at the club you want to go to and if you do it will cost you more. These scammers often conspire with hotel valet staff and give kickbacks to the valet to put you in their car instead of the one you reserved. When you reserve with Dr. Strip Club, we give you clear instructions to avoid this scam.
Because the clubs are close to the strip, many people ask about walking or driving themselves. This is a bad idea for 3 reasons. First, while the clubs and surrounding parking areas are well-lit, well guarded, and very safe, the area you walk or drive through between the Las Vegas Strip and the clubs is dark and not many people are around which makes you an easy target for criminals. Second, you don’t save any money by walking or driving yourself. Just the opposite, the clubs charge you more because they know if you walked or drove yourself you must really want to be there, so why offer any discounts, deals or incentives to get you there? Third, you shouldn’t be walking off the strip or driving at all after you’ve been out drinking at the strip club.
While some of the street promoters and hustlers on the strip are legitimate, trusting them to get you to the strip club and back safely is a bad idea. Read this article for the inside scoop on the street promoters.
THE ONLY SURE WAYS TO GET A FREE RIDE AND FREE ENTRY TO A LAS VEGAS STRIP CLUB
All of the major clubs offer free limo transportation to the club and free entry. Most clubs require a minimum drink purchase to get the free ride and free entry. Drinks are $18-$20 per drink plus tax, even for beer. And you’ll have to pay a taxi for a ride back to your hotel, casino, or the strip. The clubs don’t give rides back unless you spend thousands of dollars in the VIP Room. The best safest way is to reserve the strip club of your choice with Dr. Strip Club. We guarantee a ride BOTH to the strip club you choose and a ride back to the front door of your casino/hotel or where ever else you’d like to go on or near the strip in a luxury SUV or Mercedes party bus. You also get free entry into the club. The only catch is that you buy 2 drinks as you enter the club. Total cost is $40-$45 depending on the club. And yes, we earn a commission from the clubs when you reserve with us. But, we’ve earned that right by researching and providing you honest accurate information and reviews and we offer the best deal you can get. Plus… We can waive the 2 drink minimum for people in your party who aren’t drinkers and have the ability to make other discounts offers for groups over 5 people and special occasions.
