I've had fun here before, but last night was not it.  We are locals and drove to Sapphires. We had gotten in (no cover for locals), but then one of the hostesses told my husband, who drove our car that he had to go back out, insisting that he came in a cab. She was a real bitch about it, too.  We finally got things straightened out (with no apology from her), and went about the task of looking for a seat. For Christmas Eve, it was pretty crowded, and finally a waitress seated at a \"reserved\" table after verifying that we would be drinking. \n\nOkay- I know it is Vegas, but $17 freaking dollars for a mixed drink and $14 for a domestic beer?!?! You've got to be kidding me!!  The girls on stage ranged from \"alright\" to \"dear God, put her out of her misery!\"  We were NEVER approached for a lap dance (maybe because we were 2 couples?).  \n\nSeats were packed in together, and it was extremely smokey. Not the best strip club experience ever!
