| - A strip club is an establishment that typically offers erotic dances by scantily-clad strippers or dancers to customers, including the player. The shopfront of strip clubs have often appeared in some form, either as part of street scenery, particularly in red-light districts, or as an interactive locale, complete with interiors and even the ability to pay for a strip club's facilities.
- A strip club is a nightclub or bar that specializes in striptease. Striptease performers are called exotic dancers, or the slang strippers. These clubs employ two main types of dancer: feature dancers and house dancers. House dancers work for a particular club or franchise. Feature dancers tend to have their own celebrity, and travel from club to club, making feature appearances. Porn stars often earn extra income as feature dancers, thus allowing them to build upon their fan base. Establishments at the high-end of the business are known as gentlemen's clubs.
- The first legitimate strip club was opened in 1966 by struggling sculptor Hugh Hefner in response to the flourishing underground op-art scene of the time, where customers (almost exclusively men) would pay huge sums of money to be ushered into cubicles and look through peep-holes at the art in order to experience the dizzying highs they could produce. Hefner's idea was to bring the subject out into the open, but there was a storm of protest from realist-loving locals, who marched in the streets with banners such as 'No Filth Art Here', and 'Figurativism or Nothing'. However, despite this opposition, Hefner's club opened in April of 1966.

Porn stars often earn extra income as feature dancers, thus allowing them to build upon their fan base. Establishments at the high-end of the business are known as gentlemen's clubs. Patrons are encouraged to tip dancers while on stage, and are generally offered private lap dances by the dancers between their sets. In several regions of the US, primarily due to the local legal restrictions, strip clubs often fall into one of two categories: Topless cocktail bars (also known as Go-Go bars) and Fully nude. In general, fully nude clubs are forbidden to serve alcohol, whereas clubs that offer only topless entertainment are usually permitted to do so. Sometimes a fully nude establishment may operate as a 'bottle club', allowing patrons to bring their own alcohol onto the premises, though again this depends on local legal restrictions.

Strip clubs have appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony, and Grand Theft Auto V, however they function more like bikini bars as their dancers do not actually strip, excluding GTA V, where they do strip.

Image:Big Blue.jpg Since that first club opening 40 years ago the industry exploded, with an estimated 4 million establishments open by 1985. Some were exclusive places, such as the famously upmarket Studio 54 club in New York, where patrons would pay hundreds of pounds in cover charges, to unlicensed underground clubs in the Far East. After several art-related deaths however, there was a call for a crackdown on such unregulated venues.
