For reals, it depends on where you are. Because I've checked them out in a few states, and the ones in Portland are shitting on other places in a serious way! And this isn't on some 'yay-yay Portland is the best shit', its on some, 'The state of Oregon's constitution guarantees the right to be naked' shit.
So the clubs up here are EVERYWHERE and there is hardly ever a cover charge, the drinks cost the same as at a regular bar, and its just laid back like that. Being a dancer is a normal occupation here for fine women (and some not so fine ones, but thats a different story) and you can just go kick it and girls are almost never sweating you for cash, as long as you don't be a complete dick and never tip.
There are probably over 100 strip clubs in Portland, and you can find ones with fly women and you wont end up blowing hella cash, no more than if you went to a regular club and spent your money on $6 hennys. Shady shit goes on these places too so its pretty much just where hustlers hang out, not like in Cali and Las Vegas where its all fake tits, brass n' glass, and cheezy dudes trying to out trick each other (no offense to those areas, its just what I saw). Of course you can find that in Portland, but you just never go to those places.
Just my 2 cents, because I used to dj a club up here.
