All strip clubs in the world have something in common: they all feature naked or nearly naked dancers on stage. But even in the world of strip clubs, there is some sort of hierarchy in place.

While majority of strip clubs cater to the general public, there are those with atmospheres so exquisite, services so great, facilities so top of the line and dancers so damn attractive that the only people able get in are those with fat wallets and the capability to whip them out and empty them in one single sitting.

For a stripper, being able to work the stages of these exclusive strip clubs from all over the world, listed below in no particular order of exclusiveness, could only mean one thing: a big payday.

1. Blue Rose, Ibiza, Spain

Is onstage girl-on-girl action or sex acts (simulated of course) that involve messy stuff as champagne and whipped cream your kind of thing? Then the Blue Rose in Ibiza, Spain is the strip club for you. You may have to interact a bit more with the audience as that sort of thing is sort of the norm here, but you need not worry. The interaction is almost always respectful, and ultimately profitable.

2. Goldfingers, Melbourne, Australia

A popular destination among men of high standing whenever they do business in Australia, Goldfingers boasts of four separate areas that showcase the hottest women the Land Down Under can offer. On top of all that, it has a restaurant, poolroom and a cigar lounge, so why should these moneyed gentlemen go someplace else when they have everything they want here?

3. Seventh Heaven, Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo being the most expensive city in the world, it only makes sense that a night at this club could also leave a big hole in our pockets, but that doesn’t apply of course to the gentlemen who come here. We say gentlemen because most of them who come and see the club’s mostly European and American dancers are indeed as polite and respectful as can be, and are not predisposed to forcing drinks on dancers or demanding private dances from them. Some girls who do private shows are even the ones who take their customers’ hands and make them touch any part of their bodies, thanks to the club’s rather lax no-touching rule.

4. Crazy Horse Too, Las Vegas, Nevada

If the fact that porn superstar Jenna Jameson had her stripper beginnings here is any indication, then there really must be something special about this place. Las Vegas may be dotted with stripper clubs, but this offshoot of the original Crazy Horse of Paris sets the standard with two stages for performers and a VIP room where clients could get more up close and personal with dancers.

5. Crazy Horse, Paris, France

No list of great strip clubs would ever be complete without the original Crazy Horse in Paris. No other strip club in the world makes use of the female anatomy artistically the way it does, with its light and laser acts using the dancers’ bodies as a canvas. Then, of course, there’s the sexy sight of gorgeous women frolicking to songs and bathing on stage.

6. Scores, New York, New York

In a single evening at Scores, a Bangladeshi businessman once spent $129,626 on drinks, food and of course, the attention of dancers. These are the kind of people that frequent this Manhattan club, where people like George Clooney, Chuck Norris and many other celebrities are regulars. And you can’t blame them really. Scores, after all, has it all, from the classy atmosphere, to the great food and drinks, and best of all, great-looking girls that suit every taste.

7. Lollipops Gentleman’s Club, Daytona Beach, Florida

If only for its roster of 150 really hot dancers, this club should make this list. And celebrity regulars Wesley Snipes, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and many others would most certainly agree.

8. K5 Relax Club, Prague, Czech Republic

Despite the semantically awkward name, K5 Relax Club is a “relax” club indeed. In fact, it has everything you’ll ever want for a relaxing evening: extremely hot Eastern European women who will not only dance for you, but accompany you as you make use of their sauna, bath and massage. And did we mention that they do that while in the buff?

9. Dolls, Moscow, Russia

It’s only fitting that Moscow’s first strip club is also its most exclusive. Undeniabky elegant in all respects, the club caters to the needs of rich men of Moscow (yes, because only men with fat bank accounts can afford a night of enjoyment here) with its bevy of very beautiful Russian women performing in carefully rehearsed and spectacular shows.

10. W, Sao Paulo, Brazil

What could be more exclusive than a members-only strip club? That’s what the W in Sao Paulo is, and for good reason: they have some of the most ravishing beauties this side of the globe, most of them European-looking women.

11. Colibri, Hamburg, Germany

This club offers much more than just the sight of women stripping. It also boasts of live sex shows, something which Americans might frown on but Germans, well, they’re a different breed. The live sex, however, isn’t your typical wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kind of affair. As far as live sex shows go, those performed in this club are done with a lot of finesse and good taste, with classical music in the background as performs do the deed.

12. Penthouse Executive Club, New York City, New York

The name says it all. Boasting a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, a celebrity-chef steak house, and a 10,000-square-foot area that can accommodate up to 400 patrons a night, the Penthouse is a pure pleasure palace. People with money gladly dive into its lush themed rooms, with names such as the “Harem”, and enjoy the attention of dancers picked from a roster of up to a hundred girls.

13. Brandi’s, Vancouver, Canada

Ben Affleck used to come here when he was making movies here, and we understand that he can’t totally help it. After all, the dancers at Brandi’s, on top of being drop-dead gorgeous, seem to be really enjoying what they’re doing, and are taken to offering neck and shoulder massages, naked. What could be better than that?

14. The Cheetah, Atlanta, Georgia

Classy. That’s what best defines The Cheetah, dubbed “Atlanta’s #1 Adult Entertainment Club”, and rightly so. On top of all the beautiful “CheetahGirls” dancing and walking around, The Cheetah operates an upscale restaurant called Alluvia right inside the club, which greatly heightens the classy atmosphere this place has to offer.

15. Treasures, Las Vegas, Nevada

All those beautiful topless women, the really fine dining and a completely remarkable wine list attract many high-rollers to this mansion-like place.
