A Locals’ Joint with Responsive Dancers and Video Poker
Play It Again Sam is a locals’ joint with decent video poker. I don’t quite get the Bogart theme, but then again … Why not?
This club has a pretty big stage and while the lighting is dim, it’s not bad. The dancers definitely respond to tips while they’re on stage. The girls themselves run the gamut from below average to fine, but below average to average is the norm here.
This is another place for men who prefer plumper women, but you occasionally see high-end dancers who like the more relaxed non-hustle atmosphere. In fact, I’ve rarely been in here when I didn’t find one or two dancers who could probably work in any club in Vegas.
With most of the major topless clubs charging $8 to $10+ for a domestic beer, it’s nice that Sam’s keeps its evening price at $6. The price from 7 am – 7 pm is $4 and dancers are usually here then, too. The club also offers 25¢ bartop video poker machines and video poker players drink for free.
Other Vegas Strip Clubs You Might Enjoy
Sapphire (club website) offers busty, long-legged beauties by the hundreds (400+ during peak evening hours). This elegant club is a babe bacchanal, with the wildest lap dance scene in town.
Treasures (club website) is the most luxurious of the high-mileage Vegas topless clubs, populated with stacked 9s and 10s who know how to pamper a man.
Not too happening at 8:30 on a Wednesday night. Dancers performed, but only sporadically. I’d give it a 2.5 on a 10-scale, unless you’re playing video poker, then it jumps to about a 6. This is one of the few clubs in town with video poker machines and you can get drinks comped. The best game is 7/5 Bonus Poker, which is a notch better than most bar games and there’s a good beer selection, including Heineken, Stella, Becks, Blue Moon, Modelo, and Newcastle. If you’re paying retail, starting price for Bud is up 50-cents to $6.50, and all domestics are $4 from 7 am to 7 pm.
Went on Wednesday January 4 at 8pm. Seven dancers but only one worth more than a 7 out of 10. A couple of flat chested Filipinos and two more overweight girls. Probably the last time we’ll go there. Can’t beat Palomino and Saphire for the eye candy and hands on lap dances.
How bad is the video poker (odd-wise)?
Rob, I don’t remember the video poker pay tables, but I can tell you I went there with Anthony Curtis and after looking at the pay tables, he neither played nor went back.
Thanks. Do you know if Club Platinum is better? I like to play VP in between all the other fun.
I’ll have to check for you on my next run around town, Rob, some time in June. Or, if you get there first, let me know.
I haven’t been but I was told that there are currently no lapdances and the dancers on stage do not take their clothes off.
Jay, stage shows have strict requirements under our Soviet governor’s reopening orders. Nevada is not part of America right now. It’s a Soviet gulag.
But men who love strip clubs will still love the VIP or private booths or bedrooms. And the girls will still come and flirt with you at your table.
