| - My previous review from 2012 which had ~50 UFC votes was removed because it seemed like there was a conflict of interest. I'm well-versed with Yelp's review guidelines as I've been writing reviews for a decade. I don't have a relationship with the business (unless you count knowing promoters a "conflict", which in that case, half of the reviews for Vegas nightclubs should be removed since I can guarantee almost every reviewer knows at least one promoter) and I'm not a former or current employee, nor a family member, or competing business.
So here is my original review (again), slightly revised (honestly, I haven't been back to Sapphire in probably six years and I don't see myself going back anytime soon. It was fun when I was 22 but the novelty wore out and I'm not a "strip club person". However, Sapphire's definitely one of the best strip clubs in the industry in terms of venue and attractiveness of the strippers):
So much fun! I've only been here one time, but I can safely say after once, I'm already hooked.
A promoter recommended I after-party at Sapphire's and said he we'd get a limo ride, free entry, and free first round of drinks (you can call Sapphires to set this promo easily yourself, only negative is you have to get your own ride back to where you're staying). Down! A limo, which is really a mini-shuttle party bus with lights and stripper poles, picked us up and off we went. We tipped the driver and went in with no problems. Redeemed our drink tickets at the bar and ordered some finger snacks, which took a really long time to arrive
This place is huge. Pretty dark, but clean, and kind of fancier than what I thought a strip club would look like. It looks like a regular nightclub, but with topless ladies walking around everywhere. There's also an upstairs, but we didn't venture up there.
There's ample seating and tables around, but you have to buy table/drink packages to sit. Otherwise, you have to stand around or sit at the bar, if you just want to chill. Other option would be to buy lap dances or private rooms. Luckily my group and I found seats around one of the stripper poles. This was so amazing for me cos I'd only seen strip clubs in movies and here I was UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
Most of the strippers are pretty attractive and really talented. Some got more tips than others, which was really interesting since the ones that got more didn't seem anymore talented or prettier than the ones who were tipped less, but I guess it's all preference, right? The stripper I enjoyed the most, was super friendly and smiley (a lot of them don't look very happy), crawled down from the platform and onto my lap. So awkward having boobies in my face and a stripper straddling me, but it was an awesome experience. My friends couldn't stop laughing and I couldn't stop giggling.
The only thing I didn't really like was watching the strippers collect their tips off the platform floor after their dance was finished. Really sad and kind of degrading to watch. I'm sure there is a better way to have the strippers collect their tips?! However, I would totally come back. It's a great place to after-party.
